I got my next kettlestack handle. This time it's the new model that
the front page shows.
It's a little wider and a little taller. The bands are finished in a
black instead of the blued steel on my first handle.
It didn't seem that new or different until I built up my 57 then I
noticed some things.
It was easier to set up a round shape close to the 45 on the front
page. Now it is really close to a solid KB.
On presses, the stack sits higher on the forearm. After I felt this
difference I went back and pulled the old handle out farther from the
stack and it felt better. It just happens more naturally with the new
design.
And on two handed swings there's a lot more room for the fingers.
I know you kettlestack guys know all this but small improvements add
up and you've got a better product. I'd say much better except that
makes it sound like the old design had problems , and these are fine points that just made a great product near perfect.
Thanks,

I am not very verbose,so all I can say it is a great product. Back home in Berlin I used to have a Russian friend with kettlebells (24 kg and 32kg), so I can compare. Your product is for me as good to use as the real kettlebells, and has the obvious advantages of being much easier to transport and adjust in weight. MS Germany
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
Just got my Kettlestack today in the mail, and I am impressed. Immediately put 5 ten pound plates on it, and did the Secret Service Snatch test in my office! Got 148 reps in 10 minutes with no gloves, and no hand discomfort! Very nice smooth handle. So far I am duly impressed. KB, West Virginia
I bought a KettleStack (adjustable kettlebell) a month ago and have been very satisfied with the product. Once you've assembled it with the weight you want, it remains solid and sturdy. I've performed countless swings, snatches and clean and jerks with my KettleStack and never heard any clanging of plates. It's a well-crafted piece of equipment that I highly recommend..

Hi Guys at KettleStack,
Just received my pair of kettlestack. My first thought was: "they are so light they can not handle the plates!". I was proved wrong after my first kettlebell session with them. Solid as rock. Thanks so much for the attention and for this great product. Just made my day.

I have always enjoyed doing snatches and cleans and the kettlebell versions are quite explosive, closer to competitive movements than I have felt with pulling and pushing barbells and dumbbells. It (kettlestacks) is an amazing supplement to the practical old school barbell and dumbbell exercises that wrestlers, field athletes have always incorporated into their training. The thick handles are a bonus for gripping strength, no straps needed here.
Varying the weight is very fast and simple as you advertised and there is no worrying about anything breaking on a missed pull or push. I controlled dropped a 105 pound one arm repetitive kettlebell clean on a missed 4th set. No damage, no problem, Next set, all set to go. My friend spent a couple of hundred dollars for a set of quick change dumbbells and they are not made to be dropped at all. Let's just say he is lucky that his father is a welder.
No adjustable dumbbells on the market today with cheap plastic parts can match these tough kettlebell handles using solid steel plates.. Simple, tough and practical. Who could ask for more? Undersold is an UNDERSTATEMENT on your marketing. I have the Mike Mahler kettlebell DVD . The Kettlestack kettlebell handles and his DVD are a killer combination. DW British Columbia, Canada

Pretty decent prices and shipping is reasonable as well, just thought I'd share with your guys here. I plan on getting the 7.5 plates from here if I can't find them local.
hi, Thanks for the kettlestack (adjustable kettlebell) handle,great product,nice to be able to use different weights,highly recommend to anyone. JD, England
I want to build up a 35 pound kettlestack
which slot should I use ?
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?
The first step to getting the best kettlebell shape from your Kettlestack is understand where your forearm is going to land.
For most people that will be around 2 o'clock according to the clock we've superimposed over the image of the kettlestack.
Take alook at how the plates are tapered on this pair of 35 lbers. More kettlebell stuff . . .
Hello,
I recieved the kettlestack this afternoon...I love this thing...I'm having trouble thinking of functional differences between an actual kettlebell and it...real well made product...
I had a quick question regarding storage though...should I loosen the bolts or even undo the whole setup every night for longevity (of the kettlestack) purposes?
Thank You
RJ

These things look like a great idea, but I've seen some posts about how they rattle,
That wouldn't be safe. What do you say about rattling ?
