Has anyone had a problem with the hollow handle breaking up?

No problem with handle! Strong, lightweight & makes it easier to control the business end!

I just split up about 20-30 logs, and smacked the handle at full force a bunch of times with nothing occurring but a marred finish. The hollowness actually helps to dissipate the force and it just bounces off.

NoIf your getting it for chopping opt for 36"Just got one and it is much better than 28" for splitting

No way, no how. The handle is strong as can be. Maybe if you let it rot out in the sun and weather for a year and then tried to use it, but who would do that?

I am not sure about this one, but if the handle shows signs of abnormal use, they probably will not honor the warranty... But it wouldn't hurt to try :-)

I have four of these jugs and have not had any problems with the handle. The only "issue" I have had with them is when using them with EXTREMELY pulpy vegetable/fruit juices the airhole in the knob at the top of the spout can get clogged with pulp and create a vaccum, slowing the pour. P.S. If you have TJ Maxx/Marshall's in your area you can sometimes get these jugs there for around $5.

No, sorry I hit yes on accident.. thought it was "yes I would answer". Been using mine daily ever since I got it and have had no issues with the handle what so ever. In fact mine is still rather stiff and does not fall down.

I would suggest contacting the manufacturer. One of the few design issues I have is the way the handle works, it's too easy for it to catch when I'm rotating the drum forward. Fortunately I've been careful and haven't had a handle break.

How are you getting BD to replace the handle for free? This is our third summer with it and the handle just broke yesterday.

My handle broke also but I was able to superglue it back on. So far it's holding up. I would contact Rival with your question and/or look for a possible new/used replacement on eBay.

The handle broke on my pan also. I notified amazon and they sent a replacement right away. The thing is when you do put the new handle back on do not tighten the screw too tight. I've not had any more trouble with the handle since. Hope this helps.

We did not experience that issue with our cooker. However, we threw ours out after the handle broke off while transferring the cooker from the cooktop to the work surface. We think it is poorly made so not surprised to hear of your problem with it.

I've been using my cup now almost daily to drink my tea out of and have had no problem with the handles being unstable in comparison to any other of the cook/boil cups I've used. Hope that helps u ;)

No I have not. Make sure you turn and TIGHTEN the handle in place after you've adjusted it to the length you want it at. I'm sure that's what's wrong.

I have not, and I have not had any problems thus far after quite a few months of use. No idea long term (yet). That said, I am an amateur cocktail maker and a professional with more knowledge on the matter might be able to provide a different view.

I agree with two other answers, but I can only speak to the one I own. My handle has a dimple on the inside at the top attachment of the handle and has a hollow space slightly at the bottom attachment of the handle. so my answer would be that the handle is solid for the most part and has about maybe 10% of the handle area at the bottom attachment being hollow.

A better question: When the foam tears off completely, can I still grasp it by the metal part of the handle or is there a problem there?

Mine also failed. The handle broke at the base attachment. I loved the opener but would like it replaced (hopefully a re-enforced version). I think the product must have had manufacturing defect as it was not abused or overused. Now I can't find any phone number or address to inquire about warranty. Anyone have any leads for me?

I've never had a problem with it. Squeeze the handle and it sprays every time. Perhaps you've inadvertently disconnected it or clogged the nozzle. It's pretty simple mechanically, so you can take it apart, inspect, and reassemble it in a few minutes.

My handle has started to loosen up. It can easily be felt, to move around, when making any strikes with the sword. I've attempted to contact Cold Steel's Customer Service, via e-mail, to no avail. Thus far; the pommel has not completely flown off(guess I'm lucky).
