Are they impact resistant? I want to use them in the workshop where small metal pieces fly at high speed.

They seem like they would be. I guess it depends upon the speed of the metal pieces. While I have not done any type of ballistics test on them, the plastic is strong. Mine have weathered multiple lawn mowings and being found and played with by young children (2 and 5). They still work as well as the day I got them.

they are pretty durable, but will get bent when wheels roll over them. They're pretty large & get stepped on frequently. They slide on wood floors VERY easily & won't work if you put any 'skid-free' products under them. Good luck

I throw them at wood everyday. The design makes them a little less "point strong" than a Cold Steel Tru Bal or something but I have had no problems and after a rain my targets tend to get pretty hard due to the amount of pine resin in them. They won't last forever but I've already put thousands of throws on mine and I keep them sharp so they stick with no damage.

I guess it would depend on the person getting hit and the amount of force used. These aren't flimsy, they are solid/firm plastic. My sons play pretty rough with them regularly and only complain if someone is getting too hard. Always treat others the way you would like to be treated- No matter what you are using!

They are solid. Had mine for awhile and dropped them a few times and no problems.

I have no idea. They are made of metal and my wife hasn't had any problems with them.

I have never tried it, but I have serious doubt. If they work, it won't take long to destroy them. For cement, you will need something with wheels.

Well, depends how forceful you are, but id be careful. They're sturdy enough for travel but it's mostly plastic so it'd probably break if you threw it at a wall. They'd survive being dropped on the floor.

They're made of metal. Very sturdy, and you can do one handed manipulations very easily.

In my experience they are not strong enough to support moving the structure. I'd argue that even if you built it on a surface and moved the surface they would likely fall apart.

No they seem to be pretty strong. I haven't had any problems. Hope this helps.

I've owned one like these before. There are on the lighter end being plastic. Which makes them very fast. They are pretty durable. I won't practice them over cement. But it you where to slam them on any other surface you won't need to worry about them cracking. I enjoyed the ones I had. They're almost as fast as he fake styrofoam ones with the plastic tube inside. There very easy you us. Hope this helps

If it is just the metal and not anything broken off you should be fine. They are quite tough!

If you are not driving them into things as you state, you shouldn't break it... But if you do RUN into things going fast, good chance it will break. So far so good on the one I got my 10 year old for Christmas. Luckily we have a lot of wide open area for her to drive it. She has hit a few things at low speed and it hasn't broke yet, but nothing has been hit at full speed yet.

No, I think they're just plain old cast metal. I do however, think (judging by weight) that the moving parts are hardened steel.

Yes! I and my husband (who weighs over 200 lbs) use these in obstacle courses with our son and his friends. We've stood, jumped, and leaped on them with no damage whatsoever. They're virtually indestructible, from what I've seen of them. Very well engineered, with gripper rubber edges around the bottom, and textured surface (to minimize slippage) on the tops.

Yes the are made of metal, but the only draw back depends on what your gonna use them forAside from them being made of metal the are pretty weak against hard targets.
