Hi I’m new to this, I’ve bought a Everlast speed bag platform and assembled it and put it on the wall in my garage. I’m having an issue with the swivel it doesn’t seem to turn and is tight. Complete novice so any help would be much appreciated!
Problems with swivel

More recent Everlast platforms (I ordered mine in April) are furnished with a swivel that does not have a bearing. Just a shaft into a cavity, slightly oversize. Mine spins okay enough, not smoothly, but it also jiggles. If this jiggle space wasn't enough, it would be tight and probably wouldn't spin, as you have described.
I could tell right away it wasn't going to work for me (noisy), so I ordered this one that looks just like it, but has a bearing: https://www.amazon.com/Speed-Bag-Cot...dp/B00076ZEE4/
A call to Everlast would probably resolve things, but for less than $20 you can get a much better design.

Tapcons should work 1/4X 13/4 to 2 inches long drilling the holes neatly is the key to their success especially when you need to
maximize their resistance to pull out Redheads or sleeve bolts are another option they require much larger holes and you will
probably have to enlarge the holes in the steel frame What did you mount the wood with the first time? Tip don't over tighten Tapcons
they are useless if they strip out in the hole
