And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Nah, its a quality safe from a US manufacturer (not Chinesium found in big box stores), and is north of 750 pounds empty (and believe me...it isn't empty). This video is obviously from a competitor to the consumer-level gun- or fire-safe manufacturers, but it shows that it is surprisingly easy to angle-grind your way into almost any gunsafe that a homeowner would own. https://youtu.be/F7k4q3b2q1o?si=wh9r4QNBUmrzLSQ_
A lot of people think they are buying a quality safe when they look at its door and see a shiny wheel with shiny bolts that slide out. Ignoring that the sides, back, and top are made out of gauge-thickness sheet metal is a common mistake. Find a safe-builder that manufactures ATM machines and you'll be in a better place - and then install it in a space where walls are around it, and bolt it down.
Yeah, shopping for a gunsafe takes some research, and as with anything else, you're going to end up having to make some compromises. If your budget only has enough stretch for a Big Box gunsafe, then get that. You're far better off there than having your guns and other valuables in a corner of your closet. But even when you do have the means to choose a safe with more quality features, your means are not infinite, and very few of us are going to end up with a bank-grade quality gunsafe. The gauge of the metal is an easy shortcut for manufacturers to take, but so is the hardness of the steel. Your locks and hinges are also important. And finally, the degree of fire-resistance has to be considered. But even the guy who won the lottery last week will come to understand that the best safe on the market can be gotten in to.....movies are made of such stories.
My old Milwaukee has a big fat rubber pad, on the back - for setting it down. This one's going to be getting a lot of scratches.
ReplyDeleteI've got both the corded one as above and the 20v model. Love 'em.
ReplyDeleteI believe that I have this exact grinder and I keep it inside my gun safe.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to break into my house and try to get into my gun safe, you're going to have to bring your own angle grinder.
Not to be critical, but it sounds more like a reinforced closet than a safe.

DeleteThose who know, know the discontinued DW402 is the one to own.
