Like any item, there are high quality and low quality kettlebells. We work hard to make all of our kettlebells really high quality. The reason we choose to focus on high quality equipment is because we know that the quality of a kettlebell can actually affect not only an individual workout, but your overall fitness goals. If you do not have a piece of equipment you trust or enjoy working with If it will affect your ability to workout correctly and you will end up not using it over time or will simply be unable to because of the physical deterioration of you or the bell.
