Everlast Wood Beam Holder (EA)

This is a super sturdy set up and is very easy to install. The base needs to be secured to a floor joist and is attached with two 3" lag screws. You will need a basic standard socket set at minimum to complete the install. I would recommend holding up the base where you want it, marking out the two holes for the lag screws, then drilling pilot holes with a 1/8" drill bit. This will make screwing these in a lot easier and will not compromise the weight rating.After securing the base, you simply attach the swivel with a lag bolt, lock washer and nut. This allows the bag a lot more movement. After the swivel is on, simply hold your bag up and put the included last lag bolt through your bags chains and tighten the last nut. The entire process took me 10 minutes and that includes cutting away a 4x4 square of drywall.The bracket is rated to hold 100lbs. Don't know that I'd test that though. I filled mine to 60 lbs which is plenty for who we installed it for.

This is a great piece of simple mounting hardware. I have two of them between joists in my basement ceiling hanging a single 100 lb heavy bag. Take a close look at the picture and you'll see that some of the thread on the horizontal bolt is in the mounting area of whatever you use to hang your bag. Ideally the thread should be pushed out a bit to give a smooth bolt interface to your bag hanging equipment. I couldn't find anything of similar size with the threads further out, so I hope the bungee cords I'm using for hanging don't fray on the bolt grooves. No sign of that after three months of daily use.The only problem with this hanger is the nut on the top. That nut can slowly loosen and even come off over a long period of time. Once it loosens it creates a gap between the two black metal surfaces that can then be heard clacking when striking the heavy bag. A trip to the local hardware store for a nut with a plastic locking collar was what I used to make sure I don't get any loosening of the hanger.

I am using this hanger to hold a 100lb heavy bag. So far it is doing just what it needs to be doing. I have seen some other reviews stating that the bolts have either shattered, bent, or broke in some way. Mine have not done that (yet) and I am not seeing any signs of that happening. I have had the product for about a month now. I will update if there are any issues with it. Again, this product is holding up my 100lb heavy bag from a wood beam in my garage and is doing just what I need! I would give it a shot even if you are second guessing with other reviews (it doesn't cost too much compared to other hangers)!

This has been holding my 100lb mma bag for about 6 months now w/ daily use, and is holding up really strong. I ran a 2x4 across celing joists in the opposite direction then mouted this to that 2x4. While it holds into that well, the only problem is the bolt that the bag mount goes to comes undone occasionally. I use a heavyweight bag anchor which keeps the spinning down, but every couple months i find it still loosens out a bit - no matter how much you torque the bolt/nut down. It's not a big deal to just check it and retighten it once a month or so. I'd probably replace the included nuts with some heavy duty locking nylon ones, maybe one on each side, to remedy the problem - i just dont think it's that big of a hassle to bother right now. All in all it's a great anchor, solid steel, perfect price.

This has been doing a great job holding up my heavy bag and taking whatever abuse I throw at it. Great quality.

I hung my 80 lb heavy bag from the center beam in my home in the basement on this and it works great. Use a caribiner or a little S hook to get the right swing on the bag. It works great though. I get no crazy wild swing on the bag, it stays in a small arc and no vibration or bounce. Also because I used chains up to an S hook, I get ZERO SPIN. Let me repeat that since everyone's talking about SPIN.I use an "S-HOOK" and four bag chains up to the S-HOOK so I get NO SPIN. None. ZERO. Bag doesn't spin, at all.So if you got spin, then try 4 chains and an S-hook (a climbing caribiner works great too). What I mean by that is each chain goes to the S-Hook. If there's a swivel bolt at the top of your bag chains then bypass it. Just hook one link of each chain to the S-HOOK and you'll get no spin.Also, if the main U bracket is spinning then you're not connecting it right. It has lock washers. Lock em down.Bought two, one for the garage.

I did a little modifying and bought a couple of my own screws and bolts in the process. Instead of mounting it with the wood screws, I bought 2 screws that go all the way through the wood and fastened it with flat washers and stop nuts. For the part that kind of spins, instead of using a lock washer and a regular nut, I use a flat washer and another stop nut (lock washers with the nylon thread).With the 2 screws going all the way through the wood and fastened with the lock nuts (or stop nuts), it will hold WELL OVER 300lbs. My bag is 100lbs and I weigh 170lbs. With the combination of me hanging on my bag full weight, it's 270lbs and it doesn't even phase the bag mount! It will tear at the bag before it breaks at the bag hanger!
