EverlastDe01 D/E Anchor,Black, One Size

Very impressive. It lasts long as well since mine is still in perfect condition

Bought this to load my heavy bag. After less then 3 months, had to remove it. The external pocket is torn appart, by just gently rubbing on my gym mats. The pouch inside started to leak, which made me notice the external bag was rubbish then detect the leak on the internal pouch. The internal pouch strarted to become porous in some places which means you can use water to load the thing... unless you like it wet where you practice you kicks... ridiculousEverblast dir not blast me with quality on this one!

Really sturdy and weighs my heavy bag down perfectly, which was needed as I've got it hanging on a heavy bag stand. I decided to fill it with around 40kg of sand, which seems to fit in bag perfectly.

I bought this for my Everlast Heavy bag. I found using water the bag would slide a little, as well as the water allowed the top of the anchor to flex/move adding a little extra sway to the bag so I ended up filling the sleeve with sand, and put the bladder into storage. When zippering the bladder back into its sleeve be careful and ensure you keep the fabric lip between the zipper and the inner bladder. As you can see people are complaining of leaks, and a zipper rubbing against that bladder, or accidentally hooking it with the zipper will destroy the inner bladder.I found the anchor was well made. I will save some people the hassle and describe how to properly fill the bladder, and save the mistakes I did make. The Everlast sleeve and the inner bladder are almost the exact same dimensions. So what I found was I had to open the sleeve, leave the bladder inside and fill it that way (taking it out and filling it and trying to put it back in was well beyond my Tetris abilities, the zipper just didn't open wide enough). Then once the bladder is full you can just grab the side of it and it will easily adjust it within the everlasting sleeve so that you can have the cap point the right way up. This will save the issue of trying to fit a bladder the same size as the sleeve into the zipper opening which only goes about 30% of the circumference of the sleeve. It will also save those with little patients from accidentally tearing the bladder on the zipper.

I like that there was an internal bladder. Initially I filled it with water however I found that it allowed the base to roll from side to side. I put in 50 lb of sand and that seemed to work much better. My only complaint about the item is that the d-ring attachment is very flimsy. The nylon webbing that holds the D-Ring in place was showing signs of wear after only a couple of days of use and I was concerned that it was going to rip in half. I went to the hardware store and bought an eye bolt and a number of different size washers. I used a soldering iron to melt a quarter inch hole through the existing webbing then the secured the eye bolt through that hole. Problem solved. However this should have been something the manufacturer designed correctly in the first place. Happy with the item from now.

I bought mine back in November and here I am almost three months later with a leak at the top of the inner bladder after semi regular use. If it was the bottom that tore I could understand how seeing as the thing was dragged in the ground regularly, but the top of the bladder? The sleeve was closed at all times and was the only thing connected to the punching bag. I am mystified and disappointed. :(
