I have to say Im pretty impressed with this thing. Dont even bother if your playing with anything less than 35 or 40lbs as it becomes more of a hassle to adjust it. I got 60 on it and swings and snatches are the same as a regular old kettlebell. Two hand swings are pretty good though my hands are pretty huge in width. Pretty Cool investment. Recomended if you play kettlebells.
Just got my first Kettlestack (adjustable kettlebell). I love it. Feels just like regular kettlebells. The cost is equal to the shipping cost of some kettlebells! SL, Brooklyn, New York
Hey. I've had my kettlestack over a year now, and after all sorts of wonderful kettlebell workouts, it works just as well as the
I have worked with a wide variety of solid kettlebells. Most of them have come out of Russia, but I have also trained with Polish, Hungarian, and Czech variations in addition to kettlebells produced in England and Germany. The one thing that I appreciate the most about kettlestacks (adjustable kettlebells) is the greater distance between the portion of the handle which you grip and the core. This distance is greater than any of the bells I have worked with so far, and means that there is no danger of having to let the wrist fall back even the slightest bit to avoid the ball (core) hitting the back of the wrist. With the stacks, you can even flex your wrist slightly forward and the core will still be on your forearm where it belongs, and not your wrist. In addition to that, the stability of a k-stack is superb, and adjusting weight is easy. Instead of having 12 kettlebells filling my living room, I could have two k-stack handles and a pile of plates and be good to go. Kettlestacks cover the spectrum from 10 kg to 48 kg (less than 1 pood all the way to 3 pood) quite perfectly as well.Excellent product, and excellent product knowledge from the provider!Highly recommended.

They came on Friday..and work great!Thanks,superproduct. MB,Andover,MN
I've got the old style Kettlestack, which I enjoy immensely. I arbitrarily chose the middle hole for all my Kettlestack builds (35 to 55 pounds). Do you have guidelines for which hole to use (e.g., for less than 25 pounds use the hole closest to the handle)?
I tried a couple of brands of cast kettlebells today. I found that they caused intense pain in my wrist--they hit a spot much closer to my wrist than my Kettlestack. I'm wondering if they have a crappy design, or am I spoiled from my Kettlestack!
I would like to purchase another kettlestack for double KB movements--can I set up a new-style Kettlestack such that it has the same height as my old one?
Thanks!
I liked my first two (kettlestack kettlebells) so much that I am buying two more. Great product. (CA , Texas, 1 mnth after 1st)
I've had my pair of kettlestacks for about 2 weeks now and I wanted to say guys have an excellent product. Except for the renegade rows , I just take it for granted that I've got a whole collection of kettlebells made from the plates I had hanging around.
Great workout and great gear. Thanks ST , MI.
Hi, thanks for checking in (16 months later!). It's funny that I heard from you just now, as I was thinking the other day that I must order another Kettlestack. The other one's going great, but I'm planning on getting another to tackle some of those two-bell exercises. I'll probably put in an order in the next couple of weeks [closer to my payday :)] JM , New Zealand

Hi folks,
Just wondering what the best option is to get a pair of kettlestacks in Canada. Shipping them from the states? Or is there an official supplier in Canada that would be better?
I'm trying to figure out which hole I in the handle bands I should be using? There are 3 - a little one (same size as the Allen wrench) then 2 big ones. Do I use the top big one or the bottom one?? Seems to make a lot of difference as to where the weight lands on my forearm.
Thanks,
PS. Awesome product.
i, thanks very much for the quick reply back to me. thats great news that you gave me. Sorry to continue with the questions but i have a couple more.
i only have Olympic plates (like the 10kg, 5kg, 2.5kg and 1.25kg) does your product fit olympic plates or is it just for weider plates with the smaller holes? More kettlebell stuff . . .
Hello everyone - - I've never used kettlebells before but would like to try them out. After reading over this website the Kettlestack seems like a good way to go since it is very versatile and expandable (and I have lots of weight plates). My question is - - what handle would be best for me to get ? More kettlebell stuff . . .
A customer sent us a picture of his 20lb setup (:

asking us if he set it up correctly .
That setup is pretty close to the "19" lber shown as part of this assembly sequence:
http://www.kettlestack.com/narrow_core_kettlestack_kettlebells More kettlebell stuff . . .
with a 70 pound base, does that mean i can load it with 70 pounds of plates, or 70 pounds including the weight of the handle ( 67.5 pounds of plates plus the handle)?
thank you

Here are some updated hardware pictures of the new (now over a year old) kettlestack design; 1/2"x13 hardened Grade 8 hardware and rockwell 52 hardened steel support straps:
