Tru Grit - 44-lb Cast Iron Kettlebell - Black

Great product for price. I've ordered five total of various sizes and every single one has come damaged from transit. Fortunately powder coat chips do not impact the functionality, so returns were not necessary. If you are requiring perfect looking bells out of the box, perhaps not the deal for you. I'll add BB gave me 10% on some of them for the damage. Not the same as an open box discount, but a token gesture on their part. I took it as I don't mind the chips, and I was uninteresting in repacking and returning 26 and 35lb weights.

Great quality! We've been needing to buy some kettlebells to use for our home workouts and were so excited to find this brand on BestBuy. We bought a couple different weights from them and they're all great!

I purchased this item so that I could have a pair of this weight. I have and routinely use three different brands or various sizes. Shipped quickly and arrived undamaged. Packaged well but only single boxed, premium brands double box but I can verify that doesn't guaranty it will arrive undamaged. Quality is good enough. It's not the prettiest kettlebell but you will pay double for looks. The coating was intact, but as others noted the smoothness around the handles could be better and the paint seems to rub off with use (my hands and forearm have black dust when I use these heavily). Does not effect usability and with use no kettlebell will stay pretty. The handle is a little wide, which does effect double kettlebell workouts. For most who will only need one this is probably a benefit, but it takes a little adjusting for. It appears to be one size larger then other budget brands you typically find at sporting good stores.

Minor scratch but most likely from shipping because the box was halfway ripped when it arrived. The weight is accurate, looks and feels great.

Got these on sale, and for what I paid for I would say it's a great kettlebell. I took one star off rating due to issues with the handle. Like other reviews, the underside of the handle is uneven/jagged. My KB handle not so much in that it would hinder or hurt your hand in quick workouts/sets, but I could see it ripping into your hand in longer sets. Quick fix would be filing/sanding down. Don't know how much it would effect the coat. As for shipping and quality, it seems they changed their packaging and it came well protected. No scuffs or dings on bell. KB feels well made. Only thing was paint was sticky to touch and is easily rubbed off.

It's very hit or miss on quality of the kettlebells. I've ordered a few pairs and some show up with just superficial scratches which is acceptable, but I've also received KBs that had large sections of chipped coating, poor paint quality, or just weather damaged as though they've been exposed for some time before being packaged (possibly these are "refurbished" and being resold as new). Speaking of packaging, Tru Grit is absolutely terrible in packing the KBs. This is the difference you pay for with bigger name brands. There's hardly any cushioning inside (in one set it had NONE) so it's easy to get dinged and damaged. You may luck out that even with all this they might arrive fairly unscathed but it's a gamble.

The handle doesn’t look nothing like the pictures in person, it’s probably a new handle design that the company hasn’t exposed about yet, they should change the pictures tho. The paint job was also off on one of the kettlebells, but overall it’s still good pair of kettlebells for the price. Heck of a deal! I Just wish the handle of the kettlebell was actually the way it looked on the images advertised. Other than there good.

Bapas got a brand new b b b bell bubba, b b b beast of a weight B, says 26 lbs but I think it’s more like 27
