Summary: Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag Review - Good Bag!
Comment: I purchased the Everlast Freestanding Heavy Bag and am quite happy with it. It is a very good bag, for the price, and I found it to be exactly what I needed for me and my sons to use for TKD practise kicking and punching.
Assembly was straight forward. All parts were there, except one of the bolt heads still had 'slag' in it, and had to be tightened with a pair of pliars, as the hex key would not fit into it. (Ergo, 4 instead of 5 star rating). Make sure you line up that first 'seal disk' with the notched divits for a tight fit. :)
The foam was kind of difficult to get inside the bag, but eventually fit nicely and looked good. I had to step on the big round foam disk to make it sit all the way to the bottom of the bag (well, the top once it's put on the stand) and be flush, but it worked and made the bag smooth and nice looking.
I used five 50lb bags of kids play sand (they were $3.00 each and very compact bags) and instead of ripping them open, I managed to fit four bags beside each other (standing up position) and layed the last one on top of them. This way if I ever need to break the unit down and move it to another location, I will not be scooping sand forever!!
The bags fit perfectly, the weight is at the recommended 250 lbs now, and the unit will NOT move from kicking and punching (and it's on a carpeted basement floor), even with an adult kicking...there is just the right amount of 'sway/give' from kicks and punches.
VERY happy with this purchase.

Summary: Good Product....so far(?)
Comment: So far so good for this bag. I put 4 60lb bags of sand in the base and have not had any problems with "migration" like some of the reviewers. It is not loud either...if you assemble it correctly. Bag was a little hard to assemble...just read directions carefully and follow EVERY step (I had to reassemble it twice). I would recommend this product to a friend...good for venting frustration!

Summary: What gloves are you guys using?
Comment: The everlast freestanding bag is not meant to be hit with actual boxing match gloves. It is a training bag. I think that is why there are so many reviews about the stand breaking. If you try hitting with a small boxing glove, first, you'll seriously hurt your hands and two the force on the bag is multiplied as the distance between your hand bones and the bag decreases thus dreastically shortening the stands life. You need gloves like these "Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves (Black) ". They don't have to be everlast but you have to make sure they are training gloves. That is the key, TRAINING GLOVES. And there shouldn't even be a choice between water and sand. Standing water is not healthy nor is it clean. Stagnant water draws tons of mosquitos. Buy 4 or 5 sand bags or double up some supermarket bags and go to the beach. Thats the only reason i'm not giving this five stars. Everlast should have known better. As for the training gloves, "It is strongly recommended that bag gloves are worn when using the EVERLAST Free Standing Heavy Bag" is written in bold on the assembly sheet. So to anyone planning on buying this product, be aware of what your buying.

Summary: Worst punching bag ever.
Comment: This brand new "punching bag" broke on the fourth punch. I am not a professional boxer. Do not buy this.

Summary: Great bag, but setup was IMPOSSIBLE!
Comment: Just purchased one of these bags, and thought it would be ready for use in no time. I was SO wrong.
First, I filled the base with sand. It tells you to use water but I thought sand would work better. No problems there.
Second, I screwed on the sealing ring. Not a problem at all.
Then came the flex neck. It was such a chore screwing it on, and it took at least 30-45 minutes. The directions made it out to be so easy...
Then I had to screw the connecting pole onto the flex neck. It was way harder than it should have been, and I know some people will have trouble with this.
Assembling the heavy bag:
Holy crap! Hardest part of the assembly. Again, I hate how the directions make it out to be so easy, but it's just really not. I wont go into detail, I'm just going to tell you all that it's the hardest part of assembly. Good luck, I guess.
My bag looks all deformed and unproportional (I guess I can fix it), but it's still a great bag and I will definitely enjoy using it once I fix the bag.
