[LIST] Bitcoin Seed Backup Tools

[DaveF]

Side comment, but lets leave it as Dave knows for some reason....

With the seed plates that use a punch tool, be very carful as to the strength & quality of the tool and the force you are hitting it with as you are holding it.
And perhaps a bit of eye protection in case the punch tool shatters into about 73 billion pieces. 

Just saying I'm an out of shape computer nerd so someone a bit stronger may have some experience with this too....

I think this topic deserves a little bump

It deserves an update as well

- Some of them have outdated links and prices.

I hope nothing happened to both of your eyes and hands ^{[this is the first time that I'm reading something like this]}, but how hard did you hit the punch tool?

Not hard at all. But, lets be blunt it was, as have been most that I have seen, a cheap made in China piece of crap.
I'm sure there are some seed plates makers that do not give you an automatic one give better manual ones.

But the last few generic ebay / amazon ones have really sucked.

<shrug> It is what it is, when you are getting something like this shipped to your door for under $15 you don't expect quality or durability of the plate or the tools. But it's still better then paper.

i would like to add the 'recovery seed BTC plate' from user willi9974 to your list.
this stainless steel plate is available in a 6mm thickness (weight of 450 grams) or a 4mm thickness (weight 310 grams).
there is also the possibility to use this plate on both sides (with a 24 seed). the whole seed matrix is very detailed lasered on the plate.
a complete stress test was done by Jameson Lopp with the plate. in the following link you can see the results and some pictures: https://jlopp.github.io/metal-bitcoin-storage-reviews/reviews/willi-recovery-seed-plate/

the whole plate is made of a v2a stainless steel. it is an acid resistant 18/10 chrome nickel steel, which due to its low carbon content after welding is intercrystalline resistant for plate thicknesses up to 5 mm even without subsequent heat treatment.

Just because I was watching Air Disasters https://www.smithsonianchannel.com/shows/air-disasters and saw them X-Rays and a few other things to look for damage that is not visible to the eye inside of parts. Has anyone tried to look through seed plates to see what can be seen without actually opening them?

Kind of James Bond / Mission Impossible thing where they get your seed plate, scan it, and then put it back without you knowing but I was just wondering if that is even a possibility.

Not a big worry and I'm going with probably not, but you never know.
