How sturdy are the handles on them? Do they look strong enough to hold frozen items lifting in and out of a chest freezer?

The handles are sturdy. I think they'd probably safely carry 10-15 pounds. I don't think the plastic would hold up well in the freezer if you were planning to store them there, but lifting frozen items OUT of the freezer would be fine, I believe.

I have my bins full of meat and have moved them with the handle and they have held up.

Yes, though I wouldn't leave them in a freezer as the plastic may become brittle & break.

I find them very sturdy. I think they would probably hold the baking dishes with no problem. I have used them to extend the shelving space on the top shelf of my older kitchen cabinets.

For short-term storage they are definitely strong enough. They handle fairly sharp recyclable items without tearing as well as heavy items, but as S. Craig said they are designed to be degradable so are not good for long-term storage.

Yes, they slode and lock in two places. Strong enough to carry full of food with the handle. Love them!

I use mine with canned goods (loaded) and they pull without difficulty. They are very heavy duty and much sturdier than those I have seen in most stores.

I haven't use them yet for any heavy duty stuff, just a couple canvas bags. The bars are strong metal with some sort of weatherproof coating. The end grips, that grip the roof rack, look pretty sturdy to me. Assembly was easy. If your boat is fibreglass it should be fine is my guess, but I'll defer to anyone with actual experience carrying one.

They seem to be very sturdy. I used these panniers on a week long, fully loaded (self supported) trip around Vermont and I never had a problem with them. No snagging, tearing,etc. They are heavy duty plastic with strong pull tabs. Also, just FYI, I found the design of these panniers really great. Different compartments allowed me to find things very quickly. I especially liked the large space in the middle, which most others don't have.

Its pretty sturdy, I use them on my Night Rod Special and they fit great, usually use them for small groceries or just clothes when going on a small trip, it'll fit about the size of a box of coke cans in length but larger in width & height

I find the handles to be very sturdy. They have not bent and I've had mine for a few years now. My Husband has even used them and he hasn't bent them either. He is a bit more rough with things than I am, well because he's male ;-)

They work great for freezing; that's mostly what I use them for. I have reused a few bags for dry goods, a couple times, with no issues yet. Most of my bags are used for uncooked foods, and I have not reused those. So far the system has worked well, with no apparent problems.

The handle seems sturdy. The handle is attached by some type of copper rivet and is visible from the inside. I purchased for a wedding gift so they have not been put to use yet

Yes, for me they were. They are VERY strong and sturdy, and I use mine ALL THE TIME. I would recommend buying at least 6 of them - I think I have about a dozen. They are great, but you need to spread out your groceries so they don't become too heavy.

Yes! The bags hold for enough for the freezer, I have frozen almost anything on the bags.

They are very sturdy. They should be able to hold quite a bit just don't overload the bag.

They are pretty sturdy, not too thick and not too thin. They are not welded, they have rivets. Hope this helps!

They have been in my freezer several months. Well made, and I do not think breaking is an issue.
