Advantages: Extremely durable, very much value for money
Disadvantages: A little expensive for amateurs.

...I use this bag 3 times weekly and am very pleased with how it has endured the punishment I give it. My mate who also uses this bag is an amateur MMA fighter and gives it hell and yet it is still hanging firm, even when he takes it down for floor work it does the job and is an excellent piece of equipment. Expect prices of between £40 to £50 however my bag was second hand and cost me £10. Even as a second hand bag it looked almost as new, with no significant damage to the leather and quite simple to mount on the wall. I'd definitely recommend it to inexperienced users as well as more keen boxers, boxing is an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise and this bag will meet the majority of people's demands....

This does not mean that it is weak, as I used it once as as a hanhold, jaming the axe horizontal across the top of two boulders and hauling myself up on it, the shaft did not bend and their is no sign of cracking. The shaft appears to have a protective coating on it that also allows for extera grip by having loads of small raised bubbles on it. The head of the axe, is quit tough, and has not been disfigured...
