Moving a Gun Safe By Yourself With Golf Balls

- Moving a safe with Golf Balls! I wanted to show how I moved my 750lb Browning Pro Steel gun safe by myself with only a few basic tools I had around the house. It took some time but I ended up using golf balls, two Harbor Freight tire irons and a couple of railroad spikes. Thanks for watching!
Takes alot of balls to move a heavy safe by yourself
Thank you for posting this. We are having new carpet installed and our 875 pound Liberty safe needed to be moved. My husband thought I was crazy but I purchased a package of 24 golf balls anyway. Two guys easily moved that beast in under 20 minutes...and they didn't think it would work!
We use a hula hoop with a splice to keep the balls under the safe.
All those years watching Wiley Coyote trying to outsmart the Roadrunner paid off!
Looks like this technique is a real ball buster.
This is that diy engineering content we need. Thanks
Moved my 400kg safe yesterday using this technique and only used maybe 5 or 6 golf balls and it works awesome.. Thanks for the idea.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Schedule 40 pvc cut into length just wider than the safe is much easier. Unless you have a massive safe the pvc can support the weight. Use about 4 so u always have 2 under the safe.
Even on carpet?
Thanks for the info. Remember if you open the door the back will lift up.
That was a great idea. Just curious if you were to make a frame a little bit bigger then your safe’s footprint and then put the golf balls inside of it how it would move around? That way the golf balls are contained and always inside of the footprint and you won’t have to move them all around.
Very smart idea so Im sure it will work on my other safes fine. I attempted this with my Browning Pro steel gun safe and it crushed the golf balls. My final method was pushing it with my Jeep front bumper then using my Jeep winch from different angles to finish. The funny thing is a skinny 70 year old man moved it off his trailer by himself. I said just leave it there I don't want to bother you. He said are you sure its a real beast. No its ok then he left and it sat there for 9 months when two of us could not move it one inch. That process does give me some serious peace of mind about theft.
this guy has a lot of balls
put 2 planks of wood to make the path you want, then fill the 'canal' with golf balls. Instant moving channel ! MacGyver eat your heart out !
GREAT job!
Great idea good work
Just because you CAN do this, doesn't mean you should.
Nice bro!
As someone who does this for a living a would suggest quarter inch metal dowels that are at least 24 inches long.
Metals no good it will damage the floor gotta use schedule C
Amazing
Brilliant. Is that LVP flooring or real wood? Did the golf balls leave any marring?
Just use pipes ???
use the strap lower on the safe for better movement. Safer and won't bind leading edge. Much harder to do on a finely painted safe like an expensive Ft. Knox
Looks like a tip Hazzard to me , never know when the balls will become uneven and your safe will tip over. Wouldn't it be just as easy and safe to roll on pipe ?
A loop of half inch rope around the safe lets you corral the golf balls. Same start, but at some point you are rolling on more balls onto more waiting balls. The individual balls dont break as easily that way. Great video though. I always did this with a couple of other couples. Just makes keeping the rope and extra balls in the right place simpler.
That's a good idea! Would have helped on the laminate. Thanks for watching and the input!
this must be how the Egyptians did it!
what are the dimensions of this safe? or link to the specific browning model?
Move it in 60 seconds with a hand truck
Metal pipes is a much easier option.
Now I know where all my Golf balls gone
Build 2×4 frame around bottom of safe it will keep the balls in and float along the floor? So your not having to use so many balls?
Did you bolt down the safe?
You forgot to mention the need for basketball size balls.
This is genius. The problem is, golf balls are very expensive! 😵💫
not compared to a $2k + gun safe. LOL
Need a few more decals
7:10 the problem you ran into is the golf balls got stuck on the threshold. Next time, don't put the golf balls so close to the threshold when you pull it through. Great video though!
Has anyone tried this with basketballs? 🤔
I didn't have golf balls so I used ping pong balls.
This is exactly what i need to do to move my safe to the opposite side of my room.
Glad to hear it helped!
I moved my 1000LB safe with a 42" pry bar, a couple pieces of 2x3, a strap, and about 15 golf balls by myself. Thank God..... Worked really well. The hardest part was getting the last couple balls out. I used a long flat piece of metal. Good Technique.
@@saberman12341 Glad it helped! Yeah, those last few balls can be pretty frustrating when all the weight is on them! Thanks again
This took balls. I know, but I couldn't help it.
Keep repeating this process and you'll be done by midnight
This guys never heard of Dollie’s?? I mean he’s lifting it with tire irons not even actual pry bars so it can’t be THAT heavy
In the words of Dr. Evil, "rightttt.....".
I anybody have 500 golf balls I could borrow?
Risky
Lol! Yes, entertainment only. 🤡
whoa dude, just go to home depot and hire yourself 3 or 4 mexicans to help you.....
Then they know about your big safe.
Yes so they come back later and rob you at gun point 🙄🙄🙄
