The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits di

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.
EDIT: Another reviewer complained that the bolt’s threads rub against the bag’s hook. As he said, this makes extra noise. However, I found that the threads ground their way right through my swivel; it just broke tonight and the bag came crashing down. The quarter-inch thick metal swivel was ground through as if I had attacked it with a file. So yes, the threads on the bolt are definitely cut too far up, since they act like a file.
|Easy set up, no issues after two months of daily use.,
After reading the reviews here I was a little skeptical, but being “handy”, I thought I could make this unit work. I was right.
Aside from the items in the packaging I used these additional items: A roll of electrical tape, a carabiner, a utility knife, stud finder, socket set, drill.
My bag is a 100 lb Everlast.
I did it like this:
1. Use stud finder to locate a beam. Note: Stud finder kept going off when it touched my skin, but you may not have this problem.
2. Cut away small rectangle of drywall on ceiling the size of the device.
3. Use device to mark hole locations on beam, and pre-drill pilot holes into them to keep beam from splitting.
4. Per instructions, assemble two pieces of unit with center pin, leaving some play in the screw/bolt for movement.
5. Wrap horizontal screw in black electrical tape to keep bag chain from wearing out the screw. Put screw through assembly. Secure bolt.
6. Loop the carabiner through the top of the chain/strap that supports the bag. This allows for easy setup/tear down if needed.
7. Use a chair under your leg to balance the heavy bag on top of, clamp carabiner to horizontal screw.
DONE!
