I purchased from Kettlebell Kings after doing a bit of research online, as I have never used them prior. All those in the know were recommending their kettlebells as being among the best for home gyms.I was absolutely thrilled at the incredible speed of the delivery, just 3 days and it arrived snug as a bug in a rug in a perfectly packaged box, with large styrofoam insulation secured around the powder coated, 16Kg/35Lb kettlebell with a long, wide strip of packing tape that kept the two halves of the foam perfectly sealed around the bell. A clean order sheet from the company was situated at the top, so you could doublecheck the contents prior to completely removing from box.The bell itself is beautiful, the black powder coat finish, the smooth yet grippable handle without and bumps, burrs, or jaggies, the seamless transition from handle to bell via the single cast process, not to mention the engraved logo and weight stamps. This piece of equipment felt wonderful to workout with as I followed along with some beginner routines with one of the trainers online. (This is seperate from Kettlebell Kings, who I do believe sells some programs which I did not purchase, as I am searching for my own choices in online instruction.)My limited exposure to hands on shopping for kettlebells includes Wallyworld and that big sporting goods store that shall not be mentioned. The kettlebells offered at those locations seemed rougher and welded together. I am glad that I spent a little more money and ordered a quality kettlebell from Kettlebell Kings.I thank them for the care in the packaging, for sending me a showroom quality bell, and for getting the item shipped to my front porch within 3 days of ordering!This was my first non-competition kettlebell from Kettlebell Kings. The finish/design appears to be every bit as good as my Rogue kettlebells but cost notably more.It is comfortable and swings well. Never mind the expense (which it is not expensive), this company is getting it right. I was looking for a good one which didn’t cost me an arm and a leg (sorry Dragon-Door, your stuff is great but WAY too expensive). My place of employment had some sitting in their gym. I did a workout with them and I was sold on them.It’s legit. I own a gym and train myself as well I really like the feel of it. I have big hands so I like how big the handle is.I've been using kettlebells for a couple years, usually just buying the cheapest ones I could find on Walmart's website. When the 70# kettlebell I ordered was shipped to my local Walmart and was cracked all the way through the handle, I decided it was time to upgrade to a higher quality.The first thing I appreciated about Kettlebell Kings was that the bell was nestled in form-fitting styrofoam inside a box. Other kettlebells I've bought have either just been rattling around a cardboard box or (like the broken 70# one from Walmart) just wrapped in plastic wrap. This was secure and stable and delivered without blemish.I've been using the Kettlebell Kings 70# bell for a few days now and have been really happy with it. This is my first powder coated kettlebell, and I was a little concerned that it might feel too rough and scrape up my hands. But the handle is both smooth and grippy, with no concern for hurting my hands or being unstable for holding it over my head. I will have no hesitation buying another Kettlebell Kings kettlebell when it's time to buy another one.Happy to receive a 24kg bell within 4-5 days or ordering. Handle and powder coat feel superb compared to many other bells I've swung. In terms of performance and use as a weight this exceeds all my expectations.As for as cosmetic issues, my bell appears to have suffered an issue during the casting process, smearing a section of the top half of the recessed logo. It does not effect the performance, but I wish it wasn't there. Additionally on the underside of the bell, where it is ground flat, mine has an unsightly darker smudge of powder coat. Again, these issues in no way negatively effect how the bell weighs of performs, but just how it looks.I love the bell and will definitely be ordering more in the future, especially with amazon shipping, just be aware that there may be minor cosmetic things with them. I'm able to look past them because at the end of the day, its just a big iron ball, but I would have liked to see it better.These are the best. The shipping is ridiculously fast and they are packaged carefully. I had a 32 Kg bell delivered and the box took an (understandable) beating en route. After peeling back the package, that beautiful powdercoat was unharmed. The logo side looks awesome. The grip is especially great with chalk but also works great without chalk. I shopped around and used several competitor's products in various gyms, and I can say without hesitation that Kettlebell Kings deserve their name. This is clearly a step above Rogue and even TRX, which don't have the same broad, very flat bottom. That sounds stupid until you have to deal with a kettlebell that wobbles on you. These are the best. They look so beautiful that I display them proudly and handle them carefully, but I don't think you could hurt these even if you abused them. Excellent casting on the metal and the coating is best of show. Will continue to buy until I have a full set.Buen producto, llegó en buen estado, material de buena calidad.
