Sporting Goods Everlast Training Bag Holder


In association with Amazon.com


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Product! Worth the price!
It's easy and self explanatory.
It does the job, no questions asked.
It evens comes with the 2 bolts [as pictured :)]



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great product
This holder was perfect for my heavy bag. I mounted it to a ceiling joist in my basement. Always drill holes 1/8" smaller than what you think you need, and the screws will fit tightly. Use a socket wrench to crank the bolts in well.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - It works, could be better.
This product works fine, but the horizontal bolt's threads will rub on your bag's hook. Can be a little noisy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simple, Classic, Quality
This product is acceptable.

This is much easier to install if you have a good socket wrench.

The directions are written in extremely small type, and it is difficult to make out the diagrams. However, this is not a problem because, unless you are mechanically challenged, the item is self-explanatory. It is much easier to install the lag bolts into a wood rafter if you drill some small pilot holes first. A small hole will not reduce the holding power of the screw. The directions do not tell you this. They could be improved if Everlast were to tell you that this is an option, and instruct you what diameter hole was appropriate.

The nuts, bolts, and lock-washers are standard items that have been used without problems for a century. Another reviewer complained that they loosen up quickly, but I can only imagine that he has the lock washers in the wrong spots. If it is assembled according to the directions, and tightened sufficiently with a wrench, adjustable wrench, or socket wrench, it will remain tight. If you try to tighten it with pliers, you may have a hard time keeping it together, but that is not a fault of the item itself; pliers are not the correct tool for the job.

This item would be better if it included some good rubber bushings. Anything that reduces the vibration in your rafters would improve this item. Fortunately, it's easy to make something that will serve this purpose.

Summary: a tried-and-true method of hanging a punching bag.
