"Humorous" and "somewhat" informative? Dude is barely funny at all and you can tell the security of a lock by the length of the video. He has mad, mad lock-picking skills.

Recently, the YT algos decided to show me a video where he cuts open a consumer safe using a nothing-special circular saw in 2 minutes. It was basically thin sheet metal, foam, and plastic.

To give credit where credit is due: I'd consider LPL and BosnianBill extremely informative.

A simple google search would reveal otherwise

Or was it a specific merchant/product ?

If you can figure out any resources for good handgun safes... I would appreciate them as would probably many others. Even the name-brands seem to produce pretty poor quality products and it's hard to figure out what's decent without consuming hours of YouTube reviews (many of them from LPL!), reading forums, etc.

I'd start collating this stuff but I guess I don't want to be that one nut with four hundred gun safes and a website about them.

@ryanmarsh - any chance of a link for this? in the market and I can't tell the wheat from the chaff on Amazon.

I wouldn't be so confident on getting canned... I've found this to be an extremely common practice with new consumer electronics from no-name brands on Amazon. I would say more than 50% of such items I buy on Amazon come with an offer for a partial refund if you leave a 5 star review. This is actually the lame deal, typically if you establish a relationship with one of these companies (e.g. by leaving a 5* review for one of those offers) they'll start emailing you offering a 100% refund on certain items they're trying to get the score up on. I know someone who does this kind of thing on a pretty large-scale basis for multiple items per day and then resells them... she seems to make okay returns on it considering the low effort. I imagine you could even resell them right back on Amazon although I don't think she's tried that.

It's definitely against Amazon's policies, but clearly enforcement is not exactly bulletproof.

Will they though? I often hear stories of people reporting this to Amazon, being assured they'll look into it and the same seller still being up 6 months later.

... and they'll not get canned?
