Tools and Hardware Reviews of SentrySafe AS-1 Autosafe with Security Cable
Customer Review: Lock has issues, but safe works as good deterrent
Summary: 4 Stars
Have had this safe for about a year. This serves its purpose well as a temporary but secure storage compartment in a vehicle. It will hold a Springfield EMP 40 cal or 9mm, Taurus Millenium PT111, Kimber Ultra CDP II in 45 or 9mm, and Springfield XD40 / XD9 Subcompact. You may also be able to put an extra magazine in there for storage, depending on type of weapon. It will also hold an Ultrium LTO II or III tape with room to spare. You can easily hold a man's wallet and a full-size Garmin GPS without problems.
The tumbler/lock binds, and is annoying when you have the safe in a tucked away location in the car and you are trying open the safe. The lock binds only when you are trying to open it, not when you are trying to close it. The rubberized key is bulky on the keyring.
I do not find the two exposed horizontal bare metal "bars" along the bottom edge of the safe to be of any hindrance. I like the flexibility of the enclosed cable, and think the way it attaches to the safe was ingenious.
I would buy this safe again if I can get one with a good lock/tumbler. It's a good value for what you get.
Customer Review: It worked - saved my wallet and watch
Summary: 5 Stars
Ordered this auto-safe several months ago when I started jogging and parking my car in areas where people jog - which also happen to be areas where there are lots of car prowls . I don't like jogging with my keyring and watch and I didn't like leaving my wallet at home. When I returned to my car today after a very short 2-mile run I saw my driver-side door lock had been punched out. They tried to pull the auto-safe out but were unsuccessful - the cable is attached to the seat frame. It contained my wallet full of credit cards, cash, ID, etc., my full set of keys and my good watch. They did get away with my gym bag full of clean clothes but not the auto-safe! Well worth the money I paid for it.Customer Review: Too Short!
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bad:
Saw this on another website when looking for a portable gun safe.It works for a small frame revolver or a sub-compact auto. But that's it.Before you buy, measure and include the grip, most manufacturers only measure the slide on their autos. So if rely on what they say you might come up short.
The Good:
Seems to be built well. Large enough for my check book, camera, cell phone, wallet, and a small gps. My truck does not have a locking glove box or center console, so this works great.
Conclusion:
If it were 1 1/2 inch longer and 1 inch wider it work for most compact autos as a gun safe.
Customer Review: Auto Safe
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Auto Safe about a month ago and I really like it. I travel a great deal and am paid in cash and checks. Since I'm on the road I can't always get to my bank. The auto safe is a good place to place cash or other valuables. I have permanantly mounted the auto safe in an inconspicuous place in my van. It can't be seen from the outside and if you're inside I'd have to tell you where it is for you to even notice. I highly recommend the auto safe for anyone looking to protect their GPS, Camera or Cash. The price is great too.Customer Review: Car Safe
Summary: 4 Stars
I am very satisfied with the car safe. I immediately hooked it up around the seat of my car to hold my passport after I got it. I found the instructions to be very simple since there was nor extreme assembly although I did receive one small accessory broken from shipping (I didn't want to use it any way so I did not bring it up to the seller.) It was a bit pricey too but well worth the safety I now have for my passport and other goods in my car.
