Clach cuid fir , manhood stones (but equally worthy of challenging women), are a Scottish tradition. Lift the one outside a fellow's home and he might consider you worthy to be his guest; and if you were a lad moving into manhood, a successful lift earned you the right to wear a feather in your cap.

Lifting stones is demanding, to be sure, but a way to gain many of the challenges and benefits in an eminently more versatile, not to mention cheaper and safer form is via the wonders of sandbags.

Indoors or outside, our Tough-As-Nails Sandbag is made for tough stuff, like lifting, carrying, throwing, loading--and it trains your grip each time you work out.

This year, we redesigned the inner collar, making the sandbag even quicker and cleaner to close.

Small Tough-As-Nails Sandbag Set includes:

Small Tough-As-Nails Cordura Sandbag, 18" x 30" and holds 100 lb. of sand fully loaded; coarser-grained sand works best
Two 20" x 36" Small Liners (Yellow) to use as full size or partially filled to make a bunch of sandbag "weights": fill, fold and secure with duct tape
