(1790) Review: Stealth SwiftVault 2.0

[@derfuchs3296]

Wow, finally a bypass lock that isn’t the cheapest wafer lock they could order from China. Good work!

[@tomherron4334]

This looks like a gun safe that you and the Lock Picking Lawyer would make. Glad to see that not all of these safes are junk.

I remember seeing a news story on TV years ago describing all the simple ways that a toddler could get into common small gun safes. One method was lifting one end of the safe a few inches and dropping it. The thing popped open. Good to see something designed with serious thought put into it. Hopefully it becomes a trend.

[@pseano2285]

dear bill, i just wanna say u and harry have really inspired me to engage in lock picking as relaxation. not sure anyone has ever said that to you. i love it! i dont normally engage with youtube people. but picking locks as a hobby has had a very benificial affect on my adhd. its a total stress reliver for me. i just want to thank u and harry, also deviant olam and lock picking noob. for all your amazing videos. considering im from australia its great to see some of our locks and mechenisims on your show. apologies for the spelling mistakes and keep up the great work.

[@kewltune4683]

Finally a good gun safe! Well done Bill!

[@frankbiz]

It's nice to see something that a lot of thought went into. Manufacturers can learn a lot from that and you. Intros are amazing, a lot of time goes into them & they are great, thanks for your hard work. 👍🏻

[@billcarson1966]

That actually was an impressive lockbox. This is plenty good enough for 99% of all owners and not a bad price either. Great job going over all small but important details!

[@greysongreyhater7667]

I own a Stealth handgun safe. It's made from 10 gauge steel with a 7 gauge lid (weighs over 22 pounds). It is based upon the Fort Knox design and uses a Simplex mechanical lock with no other way of entry. It's a great safe, but costs around $300. I certainly wouldn't mind having one of these as well. Stealth did a good job on this safe and priced it nicely.

Bill - great review as always! And certainly high praise from you on the override lock. I'll be looking for one right now for my house. Agree that this looks like a great deterrent.

[@GrimElegance]

I actually picked up one of these, I like it quite a bit. Good size and dependable. Fingerprint scanner works 9-10 times and it’s easy to try again one second later. The fingerprint reset button is covered, but I can press it through the rubber stopper, without a lot of pressure. However, I couldn’t get a wire in to press it anyway. So, pretty sound safe.

[@TylerSnyder305]

Wow. Someone really must be a gun owner, one who cares and isn't just trying to sell.

[@ddobry21]

This is probably the safest vault I've seen between you and TLPL.

[@Derzuel]

don't forget to put the hinge screw back in

[@jefffalls]

Are any of the internal electronics accessible when you remove the 9 volt power supply input?

[@Ovrlordz]

Can you try brute forcing the lid open with a screwdriver? Also forcing the key lock open with a screwdriver? I have seen on other 1/8th turn locks that you can force the cam against the release lever with enough force, due to the play in the cylinder.

[@danielpirone8028]

Would like to see if a strong magnet could open. Or if you can pry off the electrical panel and short wires to piston.

[@oasntet]

Yeah, or the spinning magnet trick that has worked on other electronic locks. But that operation sounded a bit like a solenoid, which, if chunky enough, shielded enough and grounded enough, probably would resist the spinning magnet.

[@trottx]

I asked the same question about a magnet and was told to re-watch the video because I clearly missed it. I have watched it 2 more times and I don't think I missed anything. . On re-watch the panel around the buttons appears to be plastic but perhaps not. Maybe the implication is there is enough metal or shielding around the area where a solenoid would be (if it uses one) that a magnetic has no effect.

[@oasntet]

@@trottx I suspect commenters are mixing up threads about this safe with the recent master lock video, in which he definitely went at it with a magnet for quite some time.

[@trottx]

@@oasntet Thanks for the reply. It was actually Bill himself that said I missed it. Perhaps he actually tried the magnet attack and either didn't record it or omitted it from the final cut and doesn't realize it. No biggie. Maybe if I drink a couple of beers and re-watch, I'll "see" it. (grin)

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

Best you have seen. Great recommendation. There are a lot of ways to mount that which would make it really difficult to break into. Obviously, a die grinder would work, but if a thief has that much time in my home or car, I am already in BIG trouble.

[@bradw0535]

Wow. Nice box. It's been added to my wishlist. Thanks for an interesting and informative video. Much appreciated.

[@jeffreyfreeze2472]

I just bought this safe because of your review Thanks

[@MrJmak642]

Wow, I'm really surprised. This is the best pistol safe I've seen recently. They are always fancy 18 gauge sheetmetal that you can get into with a prybar, or bypass with a coat hanger, or they have a crappy wafer lock that can be jiggled open in 10 seconds for a bypass. It's as if someone actually tried to make a secure pistol safe, rather than making a crappy metal box that pretends to be one.

[@alancrews2066]

Thank you. I have been looking for a box like this.

[@Corgitronics]

Wow! Something that's Bill approved!

[@cherrybacon9790]

So- what if I pry out the plastic button panel?

[@TuttleScott]

he's giving it away so no destructive testing but after all I've seen so far I'd bet its solid behind that panel too.

[@JamesAutoDude]

@@TuttleScott me too. Maybe some kind of metal barrier and just some thin wires going through it, who knows

[@762slinky]

i'm just wondering if you can get a pair of grips on the lock as its proud of the case and rotate it? or put something into the lock and rotate it (especially if its a round hole for the lock to fit into)...

[@mercmech]

How to get a good reviews: A. Pay the reviewer B. Give the reviewer free stuff C. Find a reviewer that is lacking expertise D. Make an actually good product I'm glad Bill doesn't allow A-C.

This is a very well thought out box.

[@andyr6850]

As always, great review!

[@lubossoltes321]

A well designed product ... who would have thought ... I wish them a lot of success with it ...

[@cinoclav]

Anyone else notice if you hang it on a wall the keyholes for mounting it require you to position it with the keypad/reader/lock at the top? The benefit is having the lid open so anything in it would land on the lid and not fall directly on the floor.

[@RenneVangr]

Refreshing to see a company doing it all the right ways.

interesting, looks like power plug fixed with a nut, if remove it can you access something?

[@trippb3]

Yep, I'm scrolling through the comments looking to see if anyone else picked up on that. I bet you could push the connector out and reach through with a wire to manipulate the latch.

[@RWBHere]

At last, a lockable box which can be used for storing something more valuable than sandwiches. Thanks Bill. I would love to see LPL tackling this one.

[@jehousley]

That looks much better than the one I use. Thanks for the video

[@glennbaz2]

Great job on this review

[@deflash]

Amazing box. A Dream...

[@dominiksocha]

Did you try to manipulate it with magnets? This seems to be left out

[@dominiksocha]

@@LordPrecision true. This thickness would make it hard on the other side judging on how fast it opens they use some sort of solenoid which would make things easier. So it would be really interesting to know

[@MerkDolf]

I was wondering the same thing and was going to look and see if LPL did a review of this one yet.

[@TotenAuge]

This requires an automotive pick to defeat the lock (VAG, HU, Tibbe, etc.). For the experienced automotive picker, opening should be fairly quick...but still, this is a very secure safe.

[@DarrellGrainger]

Have you tried a brute force attack? I'm wondering of you can clamp vise-grip pliers to the lock and twist it. Or can you put strong, flathead screwdriver in the lock and twist it open. Some screwdrivers let you put a wrench on the handle to give yourself more leverage.

[@dawolf7784]

[@Ralesk]

The only problem I see with it are exactly the mounting feet, they seem to be pointing in the wrong direction for wall mount (then again, that's probably not the intended orientation for the box), so it's more for mounting on a horizontal surface.

[@JonathanARae]

Nice quality German Vera screwdriver!

[@eyang7]

Thanks to u. I just ordered one 😁

[@k9foru2]

Would it be possible to put springs on the sliders to push them to the bottom of the lock? That way when you use the key it lifts them to the correct height but if you try to pick it when you release the slider it would be pushed backdown.

[@mikeodom3480]

Much nicer than my current gun safe

[@parapicktog7734]

Looks like a well thought out lock box, but it is vulnerable to destructive attacks. The door is thin and would be easy to cut through, but not quietly. I wonder what other weaknesses Harry would find.

[@TuttleScott]

that's nice. going on my shopping list. I would've liked to see a shackle instead of a cable though.

[@pyratemage]

Looks like a winner? May I assume that attempting to pry at the housing for the fingerprint reader and the touchpads would be fruitless? If you were hiding fruits, of course. ;-)

[@antoy384]

He didn’t test it. I’m surprised. I’ve seen too many of them being pry open that I’d like to seem him try. Unfortunately he said he only makes $20 per video so I understand he doesn’t want to destroy it.

[@leland818]

Looking at the numbering on the key and cylinder, is there a weakness that a limited key space exists? That being said, I think I might buy one of these for my old bronco to mount under the rear passenger seat

[@michaelchiacchio1748]

I watched another review of a "quality" small safe box. The vedios was a couple of years old and the box was in the $60 range. I was sold, and placed my order, even though the same box is now priced near $130. I was impressed by the fact that the CA DOJ approved this handgun safe. Then I happened to check out additional KZbin reviews of my "completely researched all proud of myself purchase." I came across one review that was of the very same safe that I purchased. He talked about the CA DOJ approval (I was like "Yeah! See how smart I am.") Then his video continued, and it shocked me. Apparently one of the tests to assess the reliability of these types of gun safes it to drop it from a height of about 4' onto a concrete surface. As soon as the guy did that, the safe popped open. My first thought was that a toy "Jack-in-the-box" would withstand a drop like that. It was then that I came to the conclusion "Man! I must be the dumbest SOB on Earth. I never gave that a thought of a drop test!" I immediately cancelled my order. Now, back on the hunt for a handgun safe, I have not seen any other videos, so far, that talk about the "drop test." That other gun safe was made in China. The reviewer talked about it swapping out parts on import that dramatically affected the quality of the safe's locking mechanism. I know reviewers are not going to run around and drop items like this one onto concrete surfaces, but is it realistic to think that these types of safes could fall the distance described and not pop open?

[@stealthsafes9592]

Hey Michael, we have actually drop tested all of our handgun safes and none of them will pop open. If you wan the strongest handgun safe made to date, I would encourage you to check out the ShadowVault Bill just reviewed on this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6GsqZipgsmqjLc

[@safe1968man]

What abut removing the button plate, next to the locking mechanism ?

[@kenabi]

needs the dental silicone fingerprint test. (re: defcon... 19 was it? i think it was defcon 19) they used dental silicone to bypass biometric locks. even the best safe they had on the stage was defeated with it, eventually. most of the gunsafes like this that they tried gave up after a few seconds.

[@brightshadowdenmark]

I'd love to see a "destructive entry attack" on this safe.. to me it looks like the keypad is the weak point.. i think i'll go with a heavy duty chisel an hammer combo..

[@dustysparks]
