hi, Thanks for the kettlestack (adjustable kettlebell) handle,great product,nice to be able to use different weights,highly recommend to anyone. JD, England
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 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
The kettlestack rocks.
I called in with a assembly problem and they talked me through the tweaking thing and it really works.
Thanks kettlestack guys !
These things are great. I have 3 here is my payment for 2 more!
It is really a genius idea that solves a lot of problems. I have more than one set as as luxury to allow me to move quicker between sets. When these arrive I'll have 2 as 35 lbs, 2 at 55 and 1 at 70. As I get stronger I'll go to 2 55s, 2 70s and 1 80 or 85. I priced out some fixed weight KBs and price-wise it made no sense. I have been working w/ your product for a few mos and I am very pleased.

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.

Hello everyone!
Here are my latest video clips on my training routine with the kettlestack kettlebell. I know it is not much for seasoned strongmen, but, hey, I am improving :-) !
Enjoy!

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
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 ?
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:

I want to build up a 35 pound kettlestack
which slot should I use ?
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."
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
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 . . .

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.
