Any problems with the handles bending?

No I havent had that problem at all. They are pretty solid and thick, not flimsy at all.

No problems, it's very durable. I am able to squeeze halves of an orange or large limes, quite easily, extracting almost all of the juice and pulp, with only the rinds remaining. I purchased the utensil more than six months ago, and use it almost daily. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

None. I've used many of these and this is the best quality I have seen. My wife is Mexican and uses it everyday. Great product!

The juice press is sturdy and I can't imagine the handles bending unless someone attempts to juice the lemon/lime whole versus cutting it in half first.

We actually returned this item after receiving it due to the fact that it was cheaply made and had hollow handles (which would likely collect moisture/debris and become gross over time. I wouldn't be surprised if the handles bent but I did not actually have that experience as we sent it back. Overall impression is that is is junk. Designed to last a very short time. I would recommend just spending more money and buying a product that will last. It will save you money in the long run.

can't say what the rating is, but they are sturdier than any of my other metal cups. I bake often and I have not experienced any bending of the handles.

They are sturdy. I've had mine for two years with normal use. I've had no issues, but I never TRIED to bend them with one hand, either. You will love them.

The handles are about 4 inches long. They could possibly go through a 90 degree bend, but the handle would be bent permanently.

I have not actively tried to bend the flatware but during every day use, including the dishwasher and four boys, we've been very pleased. The utensils are sturdy and have not displayed any bending. We've been using them for over a month daily.

I use 45lbs regularly and they have not bent. Have had as much as 75lb on with no bend. They have been great!!

You would have to alter the handles someway in order for them not to twist. The rotation of the handle adds variation and a better contraction at the top of the movement. Try them out and see...u can always return them!

I have had no problems with the handle. It doesn't get hot and hasn't loosened at all. Please note however that when I tighten the upper portion to the bottom I do not use the handle for leverage. I grip the body of both the top and bottom to tighten. Also what is difficult to see in the pictures is that the black plastic on the handle is made of two pieces which run vertically along both sides of the handle and leaves a strip of the metal exposed. It doesn't seem to affect usability though. It's just something that was not apparent from the photos.

Nope. The handle is all metal, kind of like a strong hollow tube. I can't imagine it bending at all. It is covered in a thin layer of rubbery plastic from the end to about an inch before where the handle meets the scoop. I like that it doesn't go all the way to the scoop because it could get dirty and be a pain to keep clean otherwise.

I did not experience any of these issues. Some of the dividers fit a little tighter than others, take your time and they will go in. My handles sees to be on solid. I have two and am very happy with them.

I simply tightened it by twisting handle & had no problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Haven't used it a ton, but I don't see that it will have any issues. We really like it and it's nice the handles remove for cleaning and storage.

I really don't know why it would bend. Our unit does not because the handle is very strong. Hopefully you ordered the correct model.

Very solid, cant picture causing a bend these handles through any standard usage.

They are pretty solid, I think all inverted L handles wiggle a little. My 5 year old son uses ours and we have had no issues. Great water pressure. Looks beautiful installed. Needed a lot of extra hardware to install though, must be handy to install correctly.

As far as I know, my handle softened is working fine so you may want to contact seller for defective item.
