A Safe So Complicated That No One Will Open It, Ever

Mark Wilson — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:45:00 EDT

We think the Band Saw Safe is as charming as safes come, with various arrows rotating to confound would-be thieves from opening the box. The only problem is, even after reading the description five times though, we still don't fully understand how you actually open it.

The 13 drawers of this band-saw box rotate rather than open outward. Objects for safekeeping are placed into the large, central drawer through a hole in the bottom of the box. Since the arrows on the front of each drawer point toward the drawer's open side, objects may be moved from one drawer to another by first lining up the arrows on the two drawers and then rotating the entire box so that the objects fall from the first drawer to the second.

Then again, maybe it's called the Band Saw Safe for a reason—the key is in the name. [Rogue Cheddar via bbGadgets]

Bentley Makes a Safe For Expensive Watches, Perfect for Wall Street Execs Looking to Piss Us Off Even More

Adam Frucci — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:20:00 EDT

You know you're rich when you drop tens of thousands of dollars on a fancy watch. You know you're obscenely, ridiculously rich when you have so many of said fancy, expensive watches that you need a specially-designed safe to hold and show off all of them. Stockinger and Bentley have teamed up to make a line of safes designed to hold watches and only watches. Some of them even have some sort of fancy, high-tech watch winder inside. But people won't buy it for that. They'll buy it because they want to store their million dollars' worth of watches in a safe with the Bentley logo on it, because they are douchebags. Case closed.

SentrySafe Fireproof Waterproof USB HDD Housings Save Your Data (Not You) From Armageddon

SentrySafe has made safes for 70 years, but now they've teamed with Seagate/Maxtor to make hard-drive housings that withstand up to 1550degrees Fahrenheit for a half hour, and "full" 24-hour water submersion. Some like the Fire-Safe/Waterproof 80GB and 160GB ($320) drives are freestanding units that house 2.5" bus-powered drives in impervious containers. The other alternative is a full-blown $520 safe that has a USB pass-through for your bus-powered drive. A third option is a smaller filing box, the Data Storage Safe, which lets you keep DVDs and other small documents along with a small USB drive. [SentrySafe]
