High quality, very well made built like a tank
High quality, very well made built like a tank ... in China. Just telling you up front if that's a big deal to you. PROS: * Substantial hinge and latch. * Water resistant lid gasket. * Thick, unwimpy metal. * I'm 220 lbs and can stand on it, it shows zero signs of buckling. * The bottom corners are seamless. * The spot welds look to be very precise and well done. I"m guessing robotic welder but not sure? * Place a substantial lock on the latch and you have a good deterrent for "busybodies". * The metal snap-down carrying handle is very cool and usable. * I think this would survive someone seriously going at it with a baseball bat. (A gigantic crowbar would be another story, but I think they would still have to sweat). CONS: If someone is a true burglar or thief, if they gain physical possession of ANY portable security enclosure, it's just a matter of WHEN, not IF they will break into it. This could waste a lot of their time though. : ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I bought this primarily to be sure rodents (squirrels, rats) would not chew through my "mad money" or "bug out" money kept buried under junk in a locked outdoor shed. NO, I DON'T KEEP A SMALL FORTUNE IN HERE!, just some cushion that could ease our way for a week or two in a catastrophe - enough to rent a hotel room for a few days and buy some breakfast and dinner for a few days. I keep my paper valuables in this so-called "Fireproof" pouch ---> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJ8VHQ3X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 which I nest inside this Ammo Box. My combo setup mentioned here a calculated risk, and I feel it's better than doing nothing. I feel good about the risk/reward tradeoff. NO, I would not put my life savings or all my stocks and bonds in this. This could also be a good solution for secure food storage - again due to water gasket and being rodent proof. A thought: I'm not so sure you couldn't drill a few 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch holes through the bottom of this and bolt it to something substantial as an anchoring "deterrent". You would give up water resistance though. (If you used Stainless Steel bolts, washers and nuts and applied a large dab of silicon caulk as a sealant buffer before fastening, you might just keep some water / seepage resistance.) As for it's actual stated purpose, I have not put ammo in it but I'm sure it would do fine for ammo storage. It's built like a tank. Read more
