Ugears Safe Review

I bought the Ugears safe on a whim. I really enjoyed it!

[WilliamDP]

Thank you for posting this great review. I have built a couple of UGears kits (the timer and the tractor) and they are awesome. This safe looks more complex than both of those put together!

After two tests mine ran smooth as butter that was mixed with sand.

I made the exact same mistake when I made my model (placing the front face the wrong way round). I have found a fix to the stiff mechanism and that is to remove the rubber band. it stops the locking mechanism rubbing on the discs and also makes the safe slightly more secure as it does not automatically unlock as soon as the 3rd correct number is inserted

[danadworks]

how do you set your own code for the lock?

[darkknight]

Did you grease all moving parts well enough? I have used quite a lot of candle on my safe (maybe more than necessary), and it seems that the lock on my safe runs a bit smoother.

Other than that, good job :)

And by the way, did you notice the quite obvious mistake in the manual on page 18? Hard to miss actually..

You payed 55 bucks? I just payed AUD$110! with the conversion, that's only AUD$71! Man, we get ripped off big time here in Australia. Great video though, very informative. :-)

Was going to buy for Christmas gift but I think they would hate me after opening. Looks fun though.

[kosterix]

can you, like lego, take it apart and store it and put it together again?

[BlackDragonWitheHawk]

mine is quite warped since the first 3 stepps were astoundingly difficult to assemble...
Maybe I get a second one and try to get a smooth version 2. try

I also got the safe and I disagree with your opinion of the product. It is really awkward to fit the pieces together and the instructions don’t mention the use of a hammer but, the pieces won’t fit otherwise. I feel like they could have made it easier to assemble if they changed the order of the instructions. Also, the fact several people put the door on backwards shows that the instructions are t as clear as they seem

[kraddoomsters]

wonder if you could use grease to make the pieces run smoother

[kennethblackstock]

it is fun but you got to have time on your hands..I got a safe..and a lifter

[mairim]

I need help!! How do I set the code 158? Please

[austincreates]

its always stiff at the first few times after that, its very, very smooth, as if its not even wood anymore

[quyetduy]

Can you tell me which software can design be ugears. i want learning it

[craignichols]

Did I miss how long it took you to complete?

[shanek]

I'd never get through it without breaking out my pocket knife and whittling, and thus fucking it up and getting pissed, then stomping $57 away.

[CaseyMichaelsMusic]

If this is made out of wood couldn't someone just take a sledge hammer to it and break in? It's light enough to run away with not very safe

[Nicap]

I built the tram.
Fiddly, frustrating. Very easy to break parts.
Didn't enjoy it.

[monkeyjuju]

So basically it's just a more intricate Dollar Store wood model for 56x more money -_- I'll stick to my wooden dinosaurs
