Kettlestacks are solid as rocks.
that guy from brazil

had it right.
I've seen some posts from the sock puppets on other forums;
They're either lying or clueless about bolting things together.
Thanks for a great product!

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 thought my Kettlestack was good for swings & presses, but I still used a solid kettlebell for snatches.
Then I saw that new front page and the whole tweak thing clicked. You guys wasted a lot of time not getting the word out! It's just as comfortable as my cast kettlebell. Fix all those pictures! JL, Texas
I can't say enough good things about this product and company.
When my order was first placed there was a small billing error that I was unaware of. The company was right on it. They notified me right away and the error was corrected promptly without delay or drama.Customer service continued to be excellent and quickly responsive to any queries and concerns I had when setting up my stack. One of my problems was the weight required for me (a fairly petite woman with no previous kettleball/stack experience) was the amount of weight required to get the nice round shape exceeded my novice ability to lift with good form. The kettlestack crew was kind enough to let me beta the foam plates and wow what a difference they made in the shape and stability of the stack. The foam plates seem like a small thing, but they made a big difference in my use and enjoyment of the stack. So if you need them, don't feel like a wuss. Get them and you'll be glad you did.
I have just started working with the kettlestacks and am very impressed! Also, Thanks for the single heavy swing tip. Like you said, I find the one heavy kettlebell swing easier to learn than two lighter kettlebells. With your superior product and excellent customer service, I will not hesitate recommending kettlestacks to anyone in the islands! (KM Hawaii)
Within minutes of working with my newly assembled 35 lb. Base kettlestack I ordered another one. The solid quality was instantly felt. The one concern I read on the internet from kettlebell enthusiasts was about the possibility of weights getting lose while using an adjustable model. My trepidation about this was swashed after examining the kettlestack. I could throw it against a wall and confidently know it wouldn’t come apart.
I shopped around diligently and compared prices with all the other brand kettlebells on the market. I had been contemplating getting some bells from Amazon.com and figured they were the best deal; however the price in shipping was still expensive.
I had never worked out with a kettlebell so I knew I wanted an adjustable model to figure out what weight would be best for me. The other adjustable-style Kettlebell on the market cost $149.99 (plus $72.87 shipping). That’s $222.86 for one bell! No thanks. For ¼ that price I found kettlestack. Understandably, there are no weights included. No problem. I found an inexpensive solution to that.
Here’s a tip for everyone trying to find decent plates without paying extra in freight. I found my local sporting good store, Big 5, had a $149.99 100 lb. weight set with barbell & 2 dumbbells on sale for $99.99. (It seems like every month they have all their fitness gear on sale, so it’s just a matter of keeping your eyes peeled for their weight set sales.) Best of all, I went to Big 5’s website and signed up to receive a 10% discount coupon that they emailed to me. I applied that savings to the purchase of all the plates I needed for my kettlestack, plus I had extra plates left over for my 2nd kettlestack.
I have now two complete kettlebells from Kettlestack at a fraction of the price I would have paid Amazon.com, and the money saved I put it toward a kettlebell instructional DVD. Kettlestack is stacked in savings!
Excellent! I am very happy with the kettlestacks. The handles are extremely comfortable as I hoped they would be. I am waiting for the weekend to really spend some trying different configurations (round contour vs. flat) and weights, but I couldn't resist trying them out after my Monday and Tuesday workouts. So far I have only tried lightweight snatches, swings and cleans. I found that setting the axle position to the highest level works the best for me in catching the snatch. Keeping a straight arm and catching it in the almost-upright-position (I dip into a half squat for dumbell snatches) seems to really help, too. I haven't really got the hang of the cleans, yet. The one suggestion that I would have is to print out assembly directions and send them with the handles. The assembly was easy and I printed out directions from the website, but it wouldn't hurt to throw in a printout for good measure. BW , Massachusetts
This will be the fourth one I got from you. Love your product. JD, Joplin Missouri

Please view our assembly video More kettlebell stuff . . .
A customer asks:
"I am trying to decide which type of handle(s) to purchase and if I should just get one or two. I will be a beginner to kettlebells (but I have been lifting for 20 years) so I assume I should start out at 1 pood per kettle and work my way up. If I get the "High" handle so that I can just buy one set and be good for life will I need a lot of foam spacers to use just 1 pood? Other than front squatsa, are there many exercises that require two kettlebells at once? Thanks in advance."
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.
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 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 . . .
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 ?
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
