NOTE: I'll be making a new review video coming soon on the uograded version of this: the StopBox Pro. Quite a few improvements over this model and I've really enjoyed the upgrade so far.
You can stack coupons. I googled the codes (a bunch of 10% off ones) and it let me add them all! I got ours BOGO plus the free mag holder for $103 total, after tax! The price held me back previously too, but I decided to see if I could stack the coupons this year and it worked!
The price is ridiculous for something all plastic except for a few screws and springs. I can get a decent all-steel lock box for half the price, which shows how overpriced this is. I can see the possible application for this. But not for the crazy price.
It opened on accident. He had to use his second hand to separate the lids, but it seems gravity is enough to have it open effortlessly SOMETIMES. Not a guarantee.
@@302Camaro make sure your pressing down with the palm of your hand prior to pushing the keys in. Once you put pressure down on the box with your hand, take your thumb and your fingers and do them about at the same time. Squeeze them at the same time and it will open fairly easy. It took a little practice, but I’ve got it down pretty well now. at first I struggled.
Their newest version actually has this and more. Quite a few improvements. I've got one that I've been testing and will be making a new video reviewing it soon.
This would be a great solution for $50 to $70, not $129. If you want to support American manufacturing, you're gonna have to innovate further, spend more money on process development, not Facebook ads. I'd bet Zuck is Stopbox biggest expense.
@@richarde1355 And if you don't want two? All a two for one sale is, is an admission that your price is so high that you can cut it in half and still make a profit... Not actually a smoking deal, just a marketing tactic.
When I originally saw this, I was all in, but then I watched video after video of people handing them to their kids, and 30 seconds later the kid had it open. Too few combinations. Also, the electronic Vaultek Lifepod is better, cheaper, and TSA compliant. If this was 1/4 the price, I would use it as a case for my more expensive handguns, and then place the whole thing in a much larger gun safe. So for me it's a hard pass. What could they do to make it safer? Mirror the buttons to the other side so both hands have to press buttons to open it. 10 buttons total.
I recently recieved their newest box and it has quite a few improvements including improvements in the combination possibilities. I'll be making a new review video showing the changes very soon and addressing a lot of the comments I've seen on this video.
Received two as a gift from someone who is not a gun person at all. It's a shame they spent so much money on these...they're worth maybe $20 at most. If you just jam all the keys at once, it will open. This will keep out someone whose hands aren't large or strong enough to hit the buttons...maybe...but I would not trust this thing to keep a 5 year old out of it. To be honest, I wouldn't trust this thing to keep a 2 year old out indefinitely. I can't think of a use case where this is sufficient protection for a loaded gun.
This is a great idea for next to bed, etc. However!!! It does NOT open as easily as in the video. I can't imagine being able to open it in the middle of the night in the dark. Very hard to lift top with only one hand.
You don't mention the cables available to attach the box to a solid fixture in your vehicle to keep it from getting lifted. One note buy, the cable from Snap Safe they are cheaper there then from Stop Box, and stop box gets them from Snap Safe. I find it interesting Snap Safe sells cables included with their lock boxes. Stop box sells them separate. So you pay over $100 for the box and an addtional $25 for the cable. These boxes are good I guess, but in States like California they are not CADOJ approved so you could not use them for storage per se.
They had a bogo deal and the third one for 60 instead of 150 so i picked up 3 and im giving one as a gift. That means i essentially paid $70 a piece, personally i think they should sell these for $50 a piece especially when i could go to harbor freight and buy a steel lock and key box for $20 so for the cost of one of these on sale i cpuld get three steel ones.
It's definitely a higher price point for what it is. I'm almost three years into using mine and it works great. I'd still buy another one if it ended up breaking.
@@stronghandhanson My advice to you that during a home invasion you tell the no ! the average police response is 19 min , you just tell that MS 13 gang member who is going to grape you and your daughter that your home is a gun free zone and you voted to defund the police so your on their side,,, tell me how that works
You have to press down on the lid to unlock, but then up on the lid to open it? All while it’s sliding around a bit? Seems like a bad design for a critical safety device.
It's spring loaded, so when you push down and apply the finger code, as soon as you release it opens. You can see how quickly I am able to operate it in the video. Much faster than any keycode combination or thumbprint reader device. .
I’m kind of mad that they advertise this as a safe by saying that they don’t want electronics and batteries to get in the way of accessing a gun… which is a subtle way of saying that it’s some kind of safe
16 possible combinations. Least ridiculous part is the mystique of having to push down. Could use a padlock point, to attach a chain, so stupid criminals can't wander off with it. Not knowing what was in it, criminals may leave it. I still wouldn't give $20 for it....
Sorry to hear that! I still have the same box and use it daily. I agree they could make it feel more durable though. Although, after probably a thousand opens and closes throughout the last three years it hasn't had any issues for me.
It's not designed for it, but there are rubber feet on the bottom that can be peeled off and have an indent in the base. You could easily drill through to attach it to a table.
Correct. It can easily be stolen (doesn't attach to anything) and only has a handful of combination possibilities so any adult or teen could open it. Mainly for concealment and young child proofing.
What would be better? What examples do you have that is a locked box that keeps your firearm safe from others who aren’t supposed to access it, and is in your budget range?
Ok, tough guy. I dare you to buy one and try to break the polycarbonate shell in 5 minutes. You won't. This is to stop thieves or keep a gun out of reach from those that don't know how to open. It also comes with a lock and cable if you choose. That way a thief can't run off with your locked box.
Many comments here are folks whining about the price of these boxes and the one you are comparing, the Titan Compact, is $359.!! Yep, the Titan is more secure than this box, but the Titan also is 1) much more obvious that it is a “safe” and something a perp might want to steal, 2) is more bulky and less portable, and 3) a person can almost buy six (at the 2 for 1 deal) if these boxes for the price of one Titan Compact.
@@InformalWarfare You are correct. Stock is 6 but you can expand it. I recently received their newest edition of the StopBox and it has quite a few improvements including in the combination department. I'll be doing a review on the new box very soon!
have one is work great, no issues at all. good money spent. one question can you travel with loaded magazine in gun and extra clip inside stopbox in California or other States?

So good job on that.
There's always someone sharing their negative thoughts, smh. Out of the 37,000 views, I'm pretty sure none were criminals. This video was physically searched for by responsible gun owners. Highly doubt it was suggested. Also, you can change the combination.
I feel as if this type of opening design shouldn’t be reviewed online so you don’t give children or thieves hints on how to open this. Just leave this information exclusively to its owners
This Is absolutely stupid, guns come with a box, its so waste of money, come on people get real you can take the tabs off the box, makes absolutely no sense and some guy thinks he came up with something spectacular 😂😂😂😂
@belegionary right exactly right by the bed, I used to sneak cigarettes from my dad's dresser and id find the gun when I was 12 years old but I'm 49 back before adhd meds, correct Terminology I amphetamine salts giving to children way before the 🧠 is developed and the internet and games while they are growing messes alot of children up, but getting back to the point you never heard anything about school shootings in the 80s and 90s got to be a reason in behind it.
Its weird hearing you swallow so loudly.. so much cringe I ripped my airpods out and nearly threw them.. I didn’t make it very far in the video but I’m sure it was a great review.
This shit would sell like crack if the owner didn't actually smoke crack and sell it at the insanely high price that he does. This should be no more than $70.

Looks cool the price point is horrible.
You keep saying it's not a gun safe, and then you have it titled as a gun safe review?
The title is for what people will search to find it, not necessarily what it is.
Did you ever make a video for the "pro" edition? Thanks!
No, I have not made one yet, but thank you for the reminder (even though I'm months late to this comment...). I plan to publish that review next week.

It’s a matter of time before Chinese knock it off.
Then go make one for that lol
Mine has trouble closing.
What does “trouble closing” mean? Is your pistol perhaps a bit big, or perhaps the foam needs to create “memory” to the shape of your pistol?
You wasted you money on this😂😂😂😂
Is this size that you have the smaller one or the bigger one? They sell two on their site
This is their standard box (the older model), but I will be doing a review soon on their newer Pro version which is a touch larger.
@ thank you for the info my friend. Loved the video, we appreciate you making it
Just don’t think this will stop a toddler from trouble shooting the combination using 2 hands. It looks like a common toy.

The new one is
My Glock 17 gen 3 with a RMR and TLR-1 does not fit in the stop box with magazine inserted.
Why do you use 2 hands to open or close? Can it not be done with one?
It can be done with a single hand. I open the box with a single hand throughout the video.
That handgun is g19 size correct? I am worried a g17 with threaded barrel and holosun 507 wont fit. Any idea?
Exact same question haha.
Dimensions on website
I know it’s been a year but My g17 with optic and light doesn’t fit in the stop box with the magazine inserted.
Neither does a Glock 26, without fear of breaking the hinge or the box
Is this DOJ approved?
I feel the combination is to easy to guess on this device.
6 ? They said there’s 81 potential combos
This is the old model and you’re referring to the new model (Pro)
For a plastic box that you can cut into it with a Dremel... for $165 is a rip-off... maybe $50...
Is this only for child proofing ?
Correct. It can easily be stolen (doesn't attach to anything) and only has a handful of combination possibilities so any adult or teen could open it. Mainly for concealment and young child proofing.
Good review 👍👏
