4 comments about Everlast 4214 Leather Speed Bag (10"x7").

1. Wore out one of the cheapo bags in about three months. This one has gotten heavy use for six months and is still like new. Holds proper psi for months at a time. Shape is perfect, well balanced, seams are easy on the hands.



2. I felt the need for speed! This bag is an excellent general purpose bag for the whole family or group. The size, feel, and response is right in the middle of the "zone". Great for beginners and fast enough for the pro. Make sure you grab the pro swivel for proper bag movement. I've been using much more frequently than my old bag because the experience is sooo much better. Enjoy!



3. This was a gift for my son and he really liked it. It seemed very well made and of good quality.



4. it even came in a bag...i was most impressed. Enough said ....I love products from everlast...they have never disappointed.

4 comments about Matrix Stainless Steel Folding Knife - Black Finish.

1. This locking knife is very durable, product is as described. Great item for a great price! I love the black finish too.



2. This folder is a lot larger than I thought! For the price, this knife can't be beat!



3. this knife is really really sweet when i got it
   It is handful and sharp
   However after some usage the black finish came off a bit and while carrying around, the knot came off, so be extra careful and keep check on that.
   other than that this knife is one great knife



4. it looks cool, but once u get it, it looks very cheap, and I learned tat it is not portable in most of the states, since it's longer than 3 inches.

4 comments about Everlast 4004 Traditional Heavy Bag (40 lb.).

1. The product itself was awesome and my son loves it!!! It is just what I hoped it would be like.The box it came in had me worried at first because it was very flimsy and tearing in certain places. It made it difficult to carry from our porch to my room where I was hiding the kids C-mas gifts.



2. I was very pleased with this purchase, it was shipped VERY quickly, all the equipment was in the box, easy to use, and a greta releaver for stress....
   
   PURCHASE FORM THIS OWNER!!!



3. It's a great, sturdy punching bag that never rips. But, the picture you see is either the 60,70,or 80 pound bag, the bag you get is about half the size of the one in the picture. Other than that it's perfect, I recommend gloves or bands to avoid burnned knuckles.



4. It arrived on time and in good shape, I thought it would be too light being 40 lbs. but no its good and it will give you a good workout.

5 comments about Century VersaFlex Stretching Machine.

1. Recieved my strecher in excellent condition. Assembly only took a half an hour. Instructions work well if you sort out all the bolts before you begin and match them with the parts list numbers. Strecher is very sturdy and works great. A comfortable strech for a great price.



2. I only have a problem with the instructions for assembly. I am not sure If the assembly instructions were not included but what I was given was of little help. I am a mechanic so can follow instructions well but this was tough. All I was given was a full assembly instruction manual. It was very difficult to sort out and a few important things were missing. But the machine is good I just would never want to put it together again.



3. After receiving the item, I attempted (unsuccessfully) to put it together. The instructions were vague and extremely hard to discern. This item could have been constructed much better from such a company as Century. I now have to unassemble the little which I have been able to assemble and return it for a complete refund. NEVER PURCHASE THIS ITEM UNTIL CENTURY MAKES BETTER INSTRUCTIONS AND PUTS MORE SLACK ON THE PULLING CABLES WHICH DO NOT WORK!!! DO NO BUY!!!



4. I'd read reviews on this product before selecting it from among similar products. My notes are as follows:
   
   ASSEMBLY NOTES:
   
   1) Most indicated that assembly was difficult because of poor instructions. Provided you're reasonably competant and careful, it's not that bad. I only had to go back and re-do one step because I'd used the wrong bolt in the wrong spot. There was only one major snag (see below) but this may have been just a fluke. All in all, I was done in a couple of hours, including interruptions from the kids.
   
   2) This is difficult to explain, but the cables used to move the leg braces were too tightly wound into the ratchet to hook on according to the directions. I ended up having to disassemble the ratchet entirely to unwind them far enough to hook on. That was a real pain and certainly not covered by the instructions. However, I was still done in less than two hours. It just took a bit of swearing and the courage to stray from the instructions a bit.
   
   3) Again, difficult to explain if you don't have the thing sitting in front of you, but ... there are two oval-shaped braces that come up off of the leg pieces. They keep your legs from sliding off to the front. those oval pieces can be removed and inserted into any of three positions along the leg piece depending on how long your legs are. On mine, the cushion overlaps one of the holes (the one I need, naturally) and the oval piece won't slide in right. Not a big deal. I'm sure I can get it in there, but I haven't fooled with it yet.
   
   USAGE NOTES:
   
   1) Now that it's set up, I find that I really wish the thing had a mechanical way to get your legs back together. The ratchet works great for pulling your legs apart, but once they're there you have to get them back together on your own. With your legs splayed out like that, you can't really exert any inward pressure. You end up having to push your knees together with your hands. Not perfect, but it works.
   
   2) The leg pieces aren't quite wide enough in my opinion. If you imagine those leg pieces like tables, you put your legs on them and as you stretch your legs will tend to move forward on them. At the extremes, even though those oval pieces keep your upper leg from moving much, your heels will tend to come off the ends of the leg pieces. A better design would be to have those leg pieces wider at the far ends with more padding towards the front.
   
   OVERALL ASSESSMENT:
   
   This was the least expensive option and it does what I want. I didn't pay for bells and whistles and don't mind that I didn't get any. I've never owned one before, so I have no basis to compare with other machines of this type. Given that it does exactly as advertized, no more, no less, I give it three stars.



5. I got this in a few days ago and I am very impressed in the solid construction. It is not as thick a a Bowflex but is heavy enough to last. One can measure the degree spread of the legs to follow your progress. Engaging and release of the gears is easy. The back and leg rests are leather like material that are durable. This is a good product. The down side is the instructions. There is about four pictures showing all the pieces and their bolts lined up but no step 1-10 type instructions one would expect. Having said that, after some careful examination of the pictures I had it together in about an hour.

1. It is not a switchblade. The knife is well made and rugged. It was delivered quickly. It is easy to use.

2 comments about Quick Strike MMA Grappling Gloves.

1. I've mainly used these gloves for bag work so far to break them in. They are holding up quite well. After 30 minutes of bag work I had bruised the inside of my pinky fingers from the stitching being too bulky in that area.
   Don't expect top grade pro gloves out of these, but DO expect a good set of durable training gloves for a very reasonable price.



2. First off, I'm definitely not a pro at MMA.
   With that said, I can still surely say that these gloves are for sure not of the best quality, they have no leather, even though it says they do, they are not shaped right, so you chafe till you bleed, and the seams come apart quite easy.
   Although I have this laundry list of problems for these gloves, they are still ok for the price, I mean come on you are not going to find a better price than this.
   Overall, I would buy them again, as a backup set, but definitely not as a pair for sparring.

5 comments about Desk Mounted Punching Bag.

1. does not stick at all fun to punch when i clamp it to my desk



2. The product did not stick to the table, fell of the edge and broke. I will return the product to get something different.



3. Plain and simple, the suction cup does not stay stuck to ANY surface. You punch it once and it sways once and falls off right off of what ever surface you tried to stick it on. Horrible product because you can not punch it more than once.



4. I think it would be common sense for Everlast to test this product before releasing it. It is a cool novelty item I guess but if you give it a light punch or two it flips right over. It has absolutely no suction on it no matter the surface. So as you now see what everyone has been complaining about just don't even bother wasting your time on this unless you plan on gluing it to your desk.



5. Wont stay put when you punch it. My two year old knocked it off my desk top. I was very disappointed. Dont waste your money. Wish that I could give it zero stars

5 comments about Everlast Double Mouthpiece.

1. I bought this thinking I could cut it down and that it would fit my 6 year old son. It does not fit even with cutting it like the instructions say. You're going to have to look for a specific "childrens" mouth guard. I'm looking into the Shock Doctor line of guards.



2. It is made for a small mouth (or maybe my husband just has a big mouth)as far as the area around the teeth but you would need a wide mouth for the area between the teeth. I hope that isn't too confusing. It just didn't fit very well or comfortably but others may find it suitable.



3. I have used this for martial arts sparing and the hole in the center makes it easy for breathing with the mouth piece in. It protects upper and lower well.



4. I lost my last mouthpiece. It was a single layer, and I have seen a lot of people with double layers, so I went out and bought both a Century single layer, and this Everlast double (only double in the store).
   
   Let me tell you, this thing is terrible. I spent around an hour trying to shape this thing, but it's just impossible. The distance between the front row and the back (where your teeth go) is wayyy too big. There's no way to form to both sides of your teeth... unless you have molars for your front teeth. This makes it impossible to make a solid fit, so unless you're always chomping down on it, it's going to fall out during sparring.
   
   And yes, I did push with my tongue during forming (tried numerous times), but it's just too wide.
   
   If that wasn't bad enough, there's not enough plastic to run all the way to your gums. This also means this thing is going to fall out the second you stop biting down. It also means it's poor protection.
   
   The only thing they did right was the hole where you're suppose to breath through. Seems adequate.
   
   So to wrap it up, this piece of junk is completely useless. Even if your mouth is small, this still wont work because there's no way to get it form to both side of your teeth.
   
   At least I have that Century single layer one. That works fine.



5. do you know teeth are very important, what would happen if they got knocked out......well i for one don't want to find out so i bought this little mouthpiece, and i must say it doing it's job quite well!!!

2 comments about Anti-Bacterial Mouth Guard Case.

1. I train in Mixed Martial arts and this case hooks to my training bag so I always have my mouth piece.



2. this product is very good. i did not know it had a whole in the botton for the mouth guard strap. my mouth guard has no strap so this is kind of pointless since dirt can still get in when in my bag. i put some tape over it and it works just fine. other than the whole the product is very good.
