Good stockpot; just be careful with it

All in all I'm happy with the two I bought of this model stockpot several months ago. I do find myself handling them very carefully, especially when full, but even when empty, since even casual bumps can dent the lower edge, apparently. The metal is very light gauge and the handles are riveted on, so they're not as secure as they would be welded, and tend to pop or flex slightly with the thin side metal if they're handled without thought. This style handle also allows the contents to leak out through the handle attachment points, the rivet holes, when the pot is filled to the brim. But the pots still perform well and are easy to clean and so I would buy them again, even knowing their limitations, since for the twenty dollars apiece I paid for them they're an excellent buy.
