is there really a difference in the jolly tug-n-toss described as "heavy duty?"
361502
Some of the smaller balls are made from a different material. We have a 6" and 3 10" tug and tosses, I'm not sure if the 8" is the squishy like the 10" or harder like the 4" and 6". The 6" and 8" bounce and play are made from the squishy materiel like the 10" tug and toss. My dogs are both German shepherds, the female sometimes gets the 8" one stuck in her jaws and has to use her foot to get it out. The 6" one doesn't give her a problem. The dogs like the squishier ones better - they make more of a woosh than a popping sound like the harder jollyballs.

I bought this for my 50 pound boxer Lilly. I would say it is heavy duty with out being hard as a rock. This is like really thick rubber. Soft enough for her to be able to bite and carry with out hurting her but not bite out any pieces. Very sturdy.

This is the second Tug-n-toss Jolly ball we have owned. My husband ran over the first one which sliced off the handle leaving 2 holes in the ball; however, it does not "deflate" and the dog still plays with it. It is just harder for him to pick up without the handle. Bottom line - these are tough toys and made to last.

This toy is really heavy duty. The handle is solid and flexible. Unless you just let your dog use it as a chew toy, this item will last a long time.

My dogs tore off the handle, other than that the ball is still intact after a couple of months of play. I have another ball just like it that is deformed but still in play after 4 years.

They are certainly one of the toughest on the market though the handle is its weak spot, my 7 month old Chessie had the handle almost chewn off before I took it away from him. He plays great with the regular ball though so that is what I'll stick with.

It is pretty sturdy. My dog did chew the handle off in a matter of a few days but the rest is in great shape and I would recommend this for any pet.

They are the same. I highly recommend this booster! We started using it when our boy was 6 months old and now at 16 months we're still using it. It's awesome! Friends of ours have the same booster and they are also very happy with it.

To be honest, I didn't double check- but i believe it was the heavy duty version, and more expandable length

I do not know about the difference, but this booster is great. My hranddaughter is a big one year old and it is terrific. It is easy to attach and easy to take to other places. We will take the tray off and use it directly at the table soon. She loves it. It is also very easy to clean.

I bought the F7411-900 because it appeared to be somewhat heavier duty. Even so, the plastic parts are NOT over built and need to be handled carefully to avoid damaging the plastic parts. I would NOT carry either plastic container by the included handle. When filled with fluid they are too heavy for the handle. Put your hands UNDER the container when carrying them while full. All parts need to be thoroughly cleaned after use because the machine picks up an amazing amount of dirt, sand and fines that can wear out the small plastic and rubber seals and hinges etc. simply by rubbing or vibrating from motor running and machine movement. The machine picks an equally amazing amount of hair and it needs to be removed before it drys onto the various housing parts and the screens and filters and ducts.

The difference is the category of the listing, one is in the "Outdoors Sports" and one is in "Toys". Other than the listing it is the same item.

There are heavier. I use different ones for different things...the more expensive ones are thicker and therefore more durable.

They make the product in two different holding strengths. I can't recall what they call the heavier duty one but, if that's what you wound up with, it will be clearly marked on the can, is usually referenced in the name of the product when advertised on line, and you can read that it's extra hold or extra strength or something like that in the pictures of the product. We've used the regular hold for years and it seems to be the same as it always was.

Just looked at Amazon and there is no difference except for color. They all cost the same. Only one color available when I got mine. Anyway they work great if you have a big dog that is a puller, as mine is, a 70 lb. hound who tends to go after squirrels and such, he's never pulled me over with the tow bar because it attaches to the axle, not under the seat where most dog bike leashes attach. I got a harness for him so he doesn't pull from his neck so much and I still have the halti and leash attached to his face just in case, but so far I've loved this product!

I know nothing about the lighter one! But this one is awesome! VERY sturdy! My grandson plays with it for hours!! Very solid! Sorry I could not help more, I know nothing about the other one!

There isn't a huge difference. If I was you I would go with the heavier hoola hoop though. I got the 3 lb one and now that I'm used to it I really wish I had gotten a heavier one.

I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. I bought the Bruder man Crane and my grandson loves it. He isn't very gentle when it comes to toys and has had it for almost a year. It is holding up very well and nothing has broken on it.

This one is more heavy duty than the Amazon version. Amazon sells a different handle.

I had actually bought the ball Dyson prior at toys r us and was very displeased. The suction was nonexistent (but even on this one it is minimal.) But there. And the ball one was just chinsier or not put together as well. And the same price. Either way I would recommend this one over the other one any day. Its still holding up and my son still enjoys playing with it.

I'm am not familiar with either of those. I do know it is a horrible choking hazzard for any dog. My dog had it in pieces within only a few hours. They claim it is made for heavy chewers. It definitely is not.

not this one. there is the other version with a level wind. Otherwise, it is a good reel. Fast, smooth retrieve and a quality drag system.

i think because its thicker. i bought a cheap one at big lots and the difference was ridiculous ! The spasilk one was soooo much softer and the cheap one was very ridgid - i hope that helps !
