Kettlebell Kings Adjustable Kettlebell Set, 26-70 lb - Strength Training Kettlebells with 7 Plates - Secure Lock System and Durable Steel Kettle Bell for Swings, Squats, Presses and Full-Body Training

If you're considering spending a few hundred dollars on an adjustable competition kettlebell and have done a bit of research it's likely you've narrowed your choices to Kettlebell Kings or Bells of Steel.End of July 2025 Kettlebell Kings was $229.99, while Bells of Steel was $330.99. A **WHOPPING** $101 difference. What do you get for that extra money?1. Quality-wise **ABSOLUTELY NOTHING**; powder coat/paint, grade of steel, and locking system are **EXACTLY THE SAME** for both bells.2. Bells of Steel differentiates themselves by offering 0.5kg and 1kg (1x each) weight plates along with the standard 2kg, 3kg, and 4kg plates. Nice marketing gimmick, but kettlebells work **MULTIPLE MUSCLE GROUPS** to target **STRENGTH & ENDURANCE**. Do an online search and you'll see that experienced kettlebell users recommend 2-4kg weight progression for both male & female.To back up the statement above, purchased the Kettlebell Kings for a female in her late 40s who had **NEVER DONE ANY TYPE OF STRENGTH TRAINING**. She easily progressed in 2, 3, and 4 kg increments in the past month. Yes, in only **1 MONTH** - very proud of her for putting in the work. 💪💪 Liked her bell so much I picked up a second one a few weeks later.Don't get me wrong. If micro-loading is your thing and you have the extra cash more power to you. But practically speaking, 0.5kg and 1kg progression add **ZERO** value for most people. $101 saved is **MUCH** better spent on a 2nd or 3rd training tool like a steel club, mace, or sandbag. You'll get stronger as a result of having more variety in your training.

Nice kettlebell , easy to change the weight

I had to give the 5 stars, The packaging was great. Delivery through amazon actually came up to the 3rd story apartments. Positive, price, build and delivery. The only negative which is not enough to take away from 5 stars is no instructions. I had to go to the site to find out the bell and housing and the first weight is 12kg and the rest of the weights are labled for size. It would be perfect if it came with the weights.

I bought one of these a year ago and I really liked it. I decided to buy a second one expecting that it would be the same quality. It was not. The bottom portion didn't align with the to part of the bell. The bolt and nut were also so tight I had to use extra tools and force to open up the bell. The mounting hole in the weights was so tight with the threaded core that it was very hard to take them off or put them on. At one point I put in a couple of weights and hand tightened the nut, when I went to take them off I saw the plates were crooked and I had to take it outside and drop the bell on concrete to get them loose. I don't know what happened in the past year but this is not the same thing I ordered before. This is way to hard to use. The tools that came with it were not as good as the ones I got last year. Not worth the time to figure out and return. Just skip it.

This kettlebell is bomb!I was going through a lot of options and brands and models but I’m glad I chose this one. I never thought I would drop $200 on a kettlebell, but considering the versatility and build it’s definitely worth it!It’s very sturdy and even when doing things like swings, the weights inside don’t fiddle around. This is a great deal for anyone looking to make some gains.

So to be fair,I’m athletic, not a bodybuilder, but I have a home gym with free weights (dumbbells, from 10lbs to 50lbs and number plates fit well over three hundred pounds and three different benches, curl bars, etc)Both kettlebells, the retaining screw was so hard to get off, I had to use a plumbers wrench, and tap the inserted allen wrench to get the screw to “break” free so I could remove the shell to get to the weight plates inside.The first kettlebell, (I bought two), opened up like a charm and I was able to easily remove the retaining nut and adjust the weight stack to my comfort level). It went back together fairly quickly and I turned my attention to the second kettlebell.Same problem as the first, retaining screw was incredibly hard to remove and I had to “hammer” the allen wrench to get it to break free.That’s where the similarity between the two stopped.No matter what I did, I could now get the “loose” lower half to separate from the upper half.I tried everything at my disposal. I tried rolling it along the seam and picking it up a half inch or so to “tap” it.I tried actually tapping it with the plumbers wrench handles along the seam.I tried using the other kettlebell and while holding one in each hand tapping them together while rotating them and then setting them down, adjusting my grip and continuing to rotate until they went full 360, and nothing.I gave up at that point, went back to Amazon and ordered a rubber mallet set.So here I sit with a 70lb doorstop, just patiently waiting for my rubber hammer set to arrive.So be warned, and maybe order a rubber mallet set at the same time as you order the kettlebell(s) just in case.They are sturdy as hell though… cast iron and built like a tank…. But, it’s kind of ridiculous how hard they are to open.

Kettle bell did not open after removing retaining bolt. Customer service ignores you.So, I asked Reddit and learned the two halves do not thread together, so I just whacked the bottom with a rubber mallet and it popped open.Company meeds to do better, but it is a fine bell.

The media could not be loaded. Did NOT come with the tools.Bottom does not align with top.After all the research I did before this purchase I’m super disappointed.
