A Great Little Peace of Mind, January 30, 2008

I picked this up for a pretty good price and was pleasantly surprised to see it said Made in the USA when I got it, cool. It's big enough to hold some of my papers, data discs of family photos and a couple other things. It gives me real peace of mind whenever I leave the house that even if the worst happens I'll still have some of my most important stuff. They even offer a replacement program where they replace it for free if it does ever serve it's purpose and melt down protecting your stuff!

From their website, it will protect USB drives, CDs, DVDs, memory sticks, etc. from an average fire. I think it protects pictures adequately, but it won't protect floppies or negatives. It's maximum internal temperature should only get to about 350F, so theoretically anything that could survive a half hour in that should make it.

If you want to store things like tax records or have flood risks, don't get this; go get their hanging folder unit that's also waterproof... Read more

Poor manufacturing quality, August 5, 2010

Overall I'd rate this box two stars, because it is indeed a box. It has an interior space you can put things in. And that's about all it has going for it. It seems to be 100% plastic, with a foam insulation in between the layers that has water content in it, which is designed to help protect the stuff inside from fire. The lock is hardly a lock at all. They should have just some sort of clasp or hasp, and give you the option of putting your own small padlock on it. As it is, the lock is just a step up from a child's diary.

Also, the manufacturing process evidently leaves something to be desired. I received a defective item. The lock mechanism was never fully assembled at the factory. The inside part of the lock was never attached to the lid, and I can tell because of the plastic tab left over from the molding process that was still connected in the spot where the lock part should have been. I tried to attach it, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it at home. Seems... Read more

An inexpensive solution to a common problem, October 16, 2009

And there is more room inside than I thought there would be from looking at the picture. One suggestion to would-be users: Store your booty in a ziplock bag with a little dessicant to avoid dampness from inside condensation or outside water intrusions.
