CaptainACARS's Review of The Headrest Safe Co. Gun Safes
I really love the concept of this item, and I do like it personally, but there is a lot of room for improvements. The manufacturer had to give up a lot to make it universal. The biggest thing that could be a challenge is color matching, I had to exchange my first one because I bought light grey, and ended up needing dark grey for my truck. Optics Planet took great care of me, but it is still a hassle nonetheless. Another issue is that the pin/inserts being universal, the headrest comes with adapters, which work, but still not a great fit. The fingerprint ID is a bit finicky, but does work. The magnetic door on the side is very good, and fits so well that you can't tell there is a door there, even if you are looking for it. It is much firmer than my stock headrest for obvious reasons. The space inside is ample, and can fit anything you would reasonably expect. It does not have a tilting feature, so for me, the headrest sits to far back. Probably the best way to decide wether or not to buy this, is if you want to actually use your headrest as a headrest, if you actually use your headrests and it is important, I would probably pass. If you are like me and rarely, if ever use your headrest, this is a good product and I recommend it. Of course, last but not least, it is expensive, and most people will probably want the matching headrest, which is another swipe of the credit card, and that will put you out $500-$600 depending on the discounts you can get. All of this factored in, I like it, but totally understand those who don't.
Pros:
- Lots of space, great idea, practical, does a good job of being inconspicuous.
Cons:
- Losing usefulness of the headrest as a headrest. Universal pattern make for a poor fit in some vehicles. Color matching can be difficult, expensive
Best Used for:
- People who a safe is more important than a headrest, if you like a place to put your head back, you should probably pass, if not, this product will probably make you happy.
Would Recommend:
Yes
