The best kettlebell is the one who offers free shipping.

*By functional I mean you can comfortably swing or carry it **bestgym.equipment** around as one would expect of a kettlebell weight. By versatile I mean the protective coating does not prevent attaching magnetic micro-plates to increase the weight, so, for example, a 35 pound kettlebell can be increased by up to 5 pounds in weight or possibly a bit more by attaching magnetic micro-plates.*

Unless you KNOW you're going to be on a padded surface all the time, I would stay away from enamel KB's. I owned one with enamel and it hit some concrete when I was doing some high reps and it chipped, creating a sharp edge making it almost worthless in my opinion. I'm looking at the Rogue KB's. They have a decent reputation and are priced right. I own other things built by Rogue and I'm more than happy with all of them...very, VERY well built.

Really detailed video. I've watched a couple different reviews and no one ever seems to talk about the distance from one side of the handle to the other. I have big hands and with a lot of kettlebells, if I'm using both hands, leave almost no room for my pinky fingers. Adding that to your comparisons would've made this a more complete comparison for me

I have the rep fitness bell and it’s been awesome. It’s also waaaay cheaper than other KB sellers! I don’t see paying a lot more $$ for a piece of iron with a handle just because of a warranty or the coating or something like that? Kettlebells USA are crazy expensive and so are kettlebell kings. Titan fitness also have some extremely affordable KBs.

Thanks for posting this. I own a Rep Fitness kettlebell. How would you rank the Rep Fitness, TRX, KB Kings, and KB USA for handle roughness, handle thickness, and handle width (from least to most)? I've read the Rep Fitness and KB Kings are essentially indistiguishable, but don't know if that's true.

Have you tried Vulcan competition bells? I order a few cast iron bells in lighter weights and some vinyl ones for home simply because it was all that was available. Everyone is telling me I wasted money on the spri ones. They are like 70-100 lbs so I’ll just be using for deadlifts. Should be ok. I want to get kettle bell kings or a Vulcan competition in around 26 lbs for presses.

Thanks alot, by far the best “how to chose a kattlebell” video on youtube. I’ve a very small hand, however I been working out with a amazon basics thick handle kb. Recently I tried a small handle kb and right the way im able to lift an extra 10 lbs without doing much effort lol 😂 now im debating between a small handle coated kb or a competition kb for home use strength/cardio training

for competition kettlebells (the colourful ones) to remain the same size (to allow for efficiencies) they would need to be hollow.

BIG problem: the Amazon basics is 50lbs which is 22.7 kg??!! The standard in the KB world is kgs rising in (traditionally) 4kg jumps from 8kgs up so 22.7 is neither fish nor fowl. Not good!

He mentions it briefly at 11:20 in the KB USA metrixx classic. which looks very similar to dragondoors RKC Kettlbell. Otherwise the reviewer seems to really love rogue.
