I chose a low number to do him a favor because it was a wager I knew he couldn't win and you don't need an engineering degree to figure that out.
Thank goodness I have you around to do me favors. I don't know what I'd do without an engineer looking out for me.
Since you're an engineer, why don't you lay out some numbers that prove your theory? Explain to us lay persons, in specific detail, why a person couldn't flex/stretch/bend some 5/16" plate with a pry bar? Then perhaps you can explain why I have seen 1/4" plate that has been. We all want to know what it is about that final 1/16" that all of a sudden makes it pry proof.
Many people don't even have the opportunity to see sheet/plate steel in its raw form. Many may be surprised to see what a 4x8 sheet of 5/16" looks like on a forklift. It's interesting how much it flexes and sags under its own weight. If I remember to take some photos at the fab shop, I'll post some.
Sturdy Safe says their safes can't be pried open and I agree.
Are you a good looking guy? I'm not asking because I'm interested. I just figure since you're their biggest fan, they may give you a shot at modeling with their safes on the website.
Since you like to "hear" things, what are you hearing after reading this?
How long exactly do you think it would take you to pry open our safe? Forever? A year? Given enough time, I'm sure you can file a hole in the body with a metal file, but do you see how ridiculous that is?
Sounds to me like the manufacturer is conceding that given enough time, their safe can be pried open. This is a good move on their part, because claiming that anything is impossible will get your butt sued off at the first opportunity.
So why do you think it's impossible, when the manufacturer even says something as simple as a metal file could open their safe?
Actually, I'm disappointed that I won't be able to see the video on Sturdy Safe's website of Frank frantically beating on their safe with a pry bar for 60 minutes; it would have been hilarious video.
I'm disappointed to. I have nothing else better to do than entertain you.
Their sales would double overnight when the video circulated around these forums.
I wonder if Liberty's sales doubled with that Security On Sale video came out?
Anyway, I'll let Sturdy defend themselves in the future which I hope they will do when any of these 'experts' makes a false claim about their products again.
I have quite a bit riding on my reputation. I don't make false claims. If I made a false claim about Sturdy, they are free to sue me. I won't be holding my breath.
Hell, you should sue me. I'm pretty sure I'm the one responsible for the twisted panties.
Well I think I understand now.
I doubt it.
I think some people just get easily offended. And, above and beyond that, I think that some peoples confidence in their safe (whatever the brand) diminishes after they hear the facts. Then, they feel the need to defend their purchase by arguing the facts.
I agree, although I have my doubts that he's a regular customer of theirs. Regular customers don't usually get this bent out of shape over facts.
I guarantee you, that I could break open one of those sturdy safes with a pry bar and sledge hammer within that hour time limit. I could do the same with my AMSEC. I of course would get to choose the pry bar and sledge. I would even film it and put it on you tube.
Oh boy! Hope you can afford to loose $1,500.
