Hanging the round Jul 22, 2010
I have a very small space for my heavy bag. This hanger allows me to swing it into the space for workouts the swing it away when I am done. Good design, easy to install and supports my 100lb bag and crushing blows ;) without a problem.
Not bad.............. with some mounting changes Feb 28, 2010
I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and it is holding up OK, Like everyone else I had to modify the mounting of the wall mount. I didn't want to transfer any vibration to the studs or house so I borrowed a rotary hammer drill and installed 1/2 inch by 2 inch long drop in anchors into the foundation. Then I cut 1/2 inch threaded rod long enough so the mount would be just even with the drywall face. Finished off with a big washer and nut on both faces of the mount and there is NO sound when punching it. I only used the 4 inside mounting holes and those had to be drilled out to allow the 1/2 inch rod to pass through.
If I was going to use the studs I would have mounted the mount to (2) 2x6x54 inch with carrige bolts coming through from behind. I would have removed the drywall so the 2x6s are sitting directly on the studs and mounted the 2x6s with a total of 16 3/8 inch by 5 inch long lag screws to 4 studs, pre drilling the 2x6s and also pilot drilling the studs.

TKO Heavy Bag Wall Mount Aug 17, 2009
So far this unit has held up well; however, I noticed that they sell a better unit for about $10 more. The other unit is more robust and would have been a better option. This unit works well but you will need to mount it on boards to provide a more secure installation. I installed mine on (2) 2"x10"x68" boards and lag bolted the boards to the four studs that they crossed. In this way the weight is better distributed and no solely focused across just two studs.
What I needed, but..... Jun 29, 2009
I had just hung my heavy bag from floor joists in the basement but after a short workout, it was clear that it would shake the room above it apart. I decided to purchase the TKO wall mount and use it in my garage.
Even with the free shipping, which supposedly takes longer, it arrived in just a couple of days. Others have bemoaned the lag of bolts supplied with the mount and I agree.
Mine had another problem. The swing arm would not slide into the wall bracket no matter what I did. There was a problem with the thickness of the bushing that was already placed inside the bracket sleeve. I had to work for 30 minutes to get the sleeve out. After it was taken out, the arm easily slipped into the bracket.
However, I decided it would make too much noise without the bushing. I called the customer service number printed on the mount about the problem. They are sending me a new bushing without any problem.

Great product. Also Be sure You reinforce mounting points on wall with 2x6 boards before mounting on wall. It wont rip out or damage the wall. other than that it works great.
