That looks like I’d be getting into a filing cabinet for protection pretty much.

this modular,? are you kidding me.? I am not sure about this quality.

[@mikebaich1328]

IT'S PRETTY BASIC FOLKS BUT I HAVE SEEN CLOSETS AND BATH TUBS HOLD UP. AND IF YOU HAVE ZERO PROTECTION IT COULD VERY WELL SAVE YOUR LIFE.

[@mikah4051]

This will keep those 2x4s flying by at 150 mph out of your face. I want one.

HEY ALL YOU CRITICS OUT THERE! CAN YOU BUILD SOMETHING BETTER? IF SO ZIP IT AND PUT IT ON THE MARKET!

I'm not to sure about punching that many holes that close together into the concrete. It's like perferating it.

[@israelmartinez9781]

Per HILTI guidelines you can place them as close as 6" it varies depending on the concrete and reinforcements, 3,000 PSI ot 6,000 PSI, 4" or 10" of thickness. Here are the guidelines. www.hilti.com/c/CLS_FASTENER_7135/CLS_WEDGE_ANCHORS_7135/r6292

Nice video

If you seriously give this setup a chance to be in charge of keeping you safe then you might as well toss your cash and safety of your family in the trash.. In a storm that can potentially throw wall studs through concrete walls this shelter is not going to keep anyone safe. It wont even keep an angry home robber out of this thin walled cabinet. If you are in the path of a twister like December 2021 this wont hold up and you should tell yourself that every storm that hits can and will be that big.

What is that going to protect you from? Has that thing been tasted? Maybe a category 1 tornado. Material too thin compared to outside shelters with walls a foot thick.

[@hrhcsj]

look at video on their channel where they prove how strong they are in the event of a tornado. They are actually impressive

[@lvlikeyV]

@@hrhcsj A foot thick? It's protecting you from high winds, not a bomb. lol

[@TexasHarleyBoy65]

I would have to see one that has been through an actual EF5 tornado, before I'd believe that claim. I believe the thickness of those sections and the flat walls, would not do well in a real life EF5.
