very cool, but the 2 safes didn't land the same way

[GWiens2001]

Not a lot of difference in how they landed.

That is how the criminals back in the 1800s would open a stolen cast iron safe. They would drop it from a tall cliff. The cast iron would shatter. But it must have been a bear getting a large, heavy safe to the top of a cliff.

Hahah yea Gordon probably right. Back then men didnt have hair products lol.

There are a few things that can be questions about this video but its just a fun watch to see how different they are and how the cheap one busted open.

[GWiens2001]

Yeah. Only problem is that now we will have criminals renting 100' tall cranes so they can open their stolen safes.

Hehe

The 'Chinese' will make you whatever you want, and you pay accordingly. No matter if you want high quality cutting edge stuff, like a new iPhone, or a security door made out of tin can metal that a kid can open with a can opener

You tell them what you want, and they make it. The thing is, and it's quite amazing that people still don't get it, that in a lot of industries there have always been this belief that a 'metal door' is always a rolled steel door. A 'rubber hose' is always made out of good quality material that withstands both heat and solubles and a electric wire contains pure copper and a plastic coating suitable in both walls, cars and boats. If you didn't need it, you still got high quality stuff. With stuff from 'China', you can get whatever you want, made however you want. A metal door made of pot-metal? A rubber hose that isn't UV-resistant and only capable of handling rain water? Sure, here you go. They don't care. You're the jackass that ordered the crap, and payed for it.

A 3000$ safe that costs like 1000$ in labor and material, compared with a 1000$ safe that costs 35$ in labor and material. (numbers not real) Who's gonna win? If dropping a safe from a 100' crane is part of some hillbilly-security specification, and both safes are supposed to withstand that: Blame the manufacturer. But it isn't. Test them to the specs they are supposed to fulfill. No specs on the 'Chinese' safe? Well, that's because whoever ordered them in the first place didn't care for that. Or didn't want to pay for it.

'You get what you pay for' is so old and wore down, but still kinda true. 'You get what the distributor/purchaser payed for' is another

+1 Berget.

You can get some good stuff out of China - but you are going to pay more for it. But since most people trying to manufacture out of China are trying for cheap as dirt pricing, thy are going to get dirt... cheap.
