Review on πŸ”’ HDE Laptop Security Combination Lock with 4-Digit Code by Joseph Hall

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cheap visual deterrent, deadly stench

The Chinese instructions make building the combo a lot harder than it needs to be. Simply set the lock to the default combination of 0-0-0-0, then use a pen or other thin object to press the side button while setting the new combination. The actual security offered by the lock is questionable as it looks and feels like it could be pulled out easily. However, it acts as a very approachable visual deterrent and works great as an extra layer of security in my dorm room. IMPOSSIBLE. The smell woke me up last night and I could hardly breathe. My throat is so swollen today and I'm still trying to ventilate this room. I later read in another review [.] that these foods are known to cause cancer. I read the smell warnings before buying this but didn't think the stench could be THAT bad. But believe me it is! If you use this, you should probably let it air out for at least a week!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
