| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Sold on Kettlestacks ! (find out why they're the best deal out there) I had never worked out with a kettlebell so I knew I wanted an adjustable model to figure out what weight would be best for me. The other adjustable-style Kettlebell on the market cost $149.99 (plus $72.87 shipping). That's $222.86 for one bell! No thanks. For ¼ that price I found kettlestack. Understandably, there are no weights included. I was able to find a 100 lbs weight set at my local sporting goods on sale for $50 off and the store's website had a discount coupon for 10% off.
Within minutes of working with my newly assembled 35 lb. Base kettlestack I ordered another one. The solid quality was instantly felt. I have now two complete kettlebells from Kettlestack at a fraction of the price I would have paid anywhere else, and the money saved I put it toward a kettlebell instructional DVD.
I am glad I didn't let one review on here hold me back from seeing this piece of fitness gear for myself. Although the reviewer was sincere in his comments, the two complaints were about 1.) "unpleasant-smelling" lubrication and 2.) the fact that kettlestack's parts are similar to hardware and therefore should be half the price it sells for.
One: I don't know who's out there looking for pleasant smelling lubrication. In my kettlestack kit there was a small amount on the washer and this grease is there so the bolt can be safely & adequately tightened. Once the washer is against the weight plate it's not something that will be smelled. Two: If you think it's just couple bucks worth of hardware, you're mistaken. Research their website you will find out that the support bands that hold the weight plates are made from a single piece of laser cut spring steel that is bent to track through the internal channel of the heavy duty ABS grip handle. Because of this design you cannot pull them out. On top of being incredibly strong, the high impact ABS polymer handle is the same material used in football helmets. Therefore, it is well worth paying approx $50 for quality materials that are assembled so well.
