I purchased this item so that I could have a pair of this weight. I have and routinely use three different brands or various sizes.
Shipped quickly and arrived undamaged. Packaged well but only single boxed, premium brands double box but I can verify that doesn't guaranty it will arrive undamaged.
Quality is good enough. It's not the prettiest kettlebell but you will pay double for looks. The coating was intact, but as others noted the smoothness around the handles could be better and the paint seems to rub off with use (my hands and forearm have black dust when I use these heavily). Does not effect usability and with use no kettlebell will stay pretty.
The handle is a little wide, which does effect double kettlebell workouts. For most who will only need one this is probably a benefit, but it takes a little adjusting for. It appears to be one size larger then other budget brands you typically find at sporting good stores.

Minor scratch but most likely from shipping because the box was halfway ripped when it arrived. The weight is accurate, looks and feels great.

Great product for price. I've ordered five total of various sizes and every single one has come damaged from transit. Fortunately powder coat chips do not impact the functionality, so returns were not necessary. If you are requiring perfect looking bells out of the box, perhaps not the deal for you.
I'll add BB gave me 10% on some of them for the damage. Not the same as an open box discount, but a token gesture on their part. I took it as I don't mind the chips, and I was uninteresting in repacking and returning 26 and 35lb weights.

Got these on sale, and for what I paid for I would say it's a great kettlebell. I took one star off rating due to issues with the handle. Like other reviews, the underside of the handle is uneven/jagged. My KB handle not so much in that it would hinder or hurt your hand in quick workouts/sets, but I could see it ripping into your hand in longer sets. Quick fix would be filing/sanding down. Don't know how much it would effect the coat.
As for shipping and quality, it seems they changed their packaging and it came well protected. No scuffs or dings on bell. KB feels well made. Only thing was paint was sticky to touch and is easily rubbed off.

Great quality! We've been needing to buy some kettlebells to use for our home workouts and were so excited to find this brand on BestBuy. We bought a couple different weights from them and they're all great!

It's very hit or miss on quality of the kettlebells. I've ordered a few pairs and some show up with just superficial scratches which is acceptable, but I've also received KBs that had large sections of chipped coating, poor paint quality, or just weather damaged as though they've been exposed for some time before being packaged (possibly these are "refurbished" and being resold as new).
Speaking of packaging, Tru Grit is absolutely terrible in packing the KBs. This is the difference you pay for with bigger name brands. There's hardly any cushioning inside (in one set it had NONE) so it's easy to get dinged and damaged. You may luck out that even with all this they might arrive fairly unscathed but it's a gamble.

The handle doesn’t look nothing like the pictures in person, it’s probably a new handle design that the company hasn’t exposed about yet, they should change the pictures tho. The paint job was also off on one of the kettlebells, but overall it’s still good pair of kettlebells for the price. Heck of a deal! I Just wish the handle of the kettlebell was actually the way it looked on the images advertised. Other than there good.

I bought a 53lb Tru Grit kettlebell through Best buy months ago and it arrived in excellent shape. I ordered another kettlebell (35lbs) thinking I would have another great experience but I was completely wrong. I ordered this 3 times before I finally received what I paid for. The first two times, the package was lost or damage. After waiting a month after my initial order, it arrived without a box, poorly wrapped in a single layer of bubble wrap and was banged up really bad - see pictures. I would not recommend getting this product at all. It may be cheap but it is not worth your time especially since the product arrived in terrible condition. I'm very disappointed in how Best Buy's customer service has handled this situation. I understand that we are living in odd times during a pandemic but the standard of their service must be better.

It was 2 weels later than it said. And when it got to me the packaging looked like rats had been xhewing on it. The bell was so scratched up, it looks years old. So up setting. Horrible experience
I bought 2 and they came separately both very damaged

Bad Grip, Cuts into Hands. Poor Quality.

I just received my 70 lb bell today, and there is a bad deformity on the handle. It seems like the bell was cast and no quality control was done at all because there is a metal ridge on the bottom of the handle that cuts into your hand and hurts when you hold the bell.
Again, I have no idea how that wasn't shaved off and fixed while the bell was made, but I would like a replacement if possible.

Hi Michael, thank you for the candid commentary. While we inspect each and every product occasionally the mold cast line needs a little more attention. We would be more than happy to review your product under our warranty process. Please contact our customer service team at www.Trugrit-fitness.com

Product arrived damaged. If the product had been advertised as “scratch and dent” then I would probably be okay with it. Not sure if I will order from Tru Grit again in the future if this is the condition of something that is new.

Hello Isaac, thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately we can not control handling by UPS or FedEX, we pack our product in heavy corrugated boxes, strapped and table closed, nestled in foam. We stand behind our product and would be more than happy to look into this shipping problem with the courier.

Perfect size. Solid grip and sturdy. Easy to use. Priced very well. It is exactly what I hoped it would be. I would suggest buying these to anyone looking at investing in a kettlebell. Definitely worth the price

I bought two of these kettlebells for my daughter to use to add to our options for in-home fitness. They are a great size and weight and very easy to use. I love the quality of Tru Grit products. We liked the 15-pound kettlebells so much I have now ordered a set of the 10-pound kettlebells as well. These kettlebells are very well made and fit comfortably in your hand. I look forward to purchasing additional sizes and weights to add to our Tru Grit collection.
