It has sturdy construction. My bucket has an extra cutting edge, so the forks don't go all the way against the bucket edge, so they can turn if you hit something while going under the item you want to pick up. The bolt threads are not very strong, and the nut won't move on the bolt. Overall, with a helper, I can use them, but I may take a little bit of time to fabricate them a little differently so they are stronger.
