Apex Adjustable Heavy-Duty Kettlebell Weight for Strength Training and Weightlifting, Ideal Home Gym Equipment, Cast Iron, Grey APKB-5009

Great product and value!
This is a great value if you have the right plates already available AND if you can start off at 20 lbs. It will save you lots of money (and storage space) over buying individual kettlebells. While the handle is only 15 lbs (just under 7 kg), it’s a big jump (+32%) to put on the base to make it 20 lbs. This kettlebell plus 4 – 7.5 lb “pancake” plates gets you to the maximum of 50 lbs (23 kg). However, I prefer about 10 percent jumps in weight, so I added in a combination of 1.25 (close to half kilo), 2.5 (just over a kilo), and 5 lb plates I had from my dumbbells with the 7.5s and that provides a 20-50 lb range (9-23 kg) in 1.25 or 2.5 lb increments (about same as half kilo to 1 kg jumps). This gives you the versatility to have very small to very large jumps in weight load. Finally, it is about as tall as a traditional 35 lb regular kettlebell, but the handle is a little more squared (although not as much as a competition kettlebell). Also, how you stack the plates and plastic spacers will greatly affect the balance and feel. Overall, I found this to be a great option when I just started to learn kettlebell exercises and needed lighter weights. I was then was able to inexpensively add weight to the same piece of equipment as my strength increased.

Great for space saving, adjustable weight kettle
Let me start by saying this is a great product. It is sturdy, has a great studded metal type feel and easy to grip for different exercises. It’s a larger size in my opinion but I like that it can be modified for more weight plates which is a huge plus for my family’s needs.ProsHeavy, easy to grip, works as intended. More plates can be added for additional weight (only one 5 lb place included with the my order)ConsMore bulky than some other kettle bell brands.The bottom nut will come loose with use sometimes and must be tightened.Overall it’s a great addition to a small workout space that I’ve carved in my home.

Not finished properly
For the price, I shouldnt have jad to do any finishing work. Inside of the handle on both kettlebells I bought was a mold seam that had to be filed down and repainted. Would have chewed my skin up with any additional weight added. Otherwise, they’re great. Easy to add weight up to 40lb total, and they’re built to last.

Great product
Great product, if you find the right plates you can get it up to 60lbs which is more than they say.

New to kettlebell training, so I specifically sought out an adjustable one in order to experiment with different weights but avoid the cost of 3 or more KB’s. I am EXTREMELY pleased with this purchase. The quality is superb, it feels solid when being swung around, and it is easy to change out the weights. By the way, it was obvious from the ad that additional weights would be required to take this KB beyond 20lbs (it comes with spacers ONLY – as per the ad). I bought separately (from Walmart) 2x 5lb and 2x 7.5lb weight plates, & this KB can easily accommodate these plates – there is enough room to add a 5th plate if desired – just remember to keep the total weight to 50lb max as per the manufacturers leaflet (and the ad). Would definitely buy again.

Best to use this with slim flat weights like performance power pro.Works as good as a normal kettle bell.Quick to change the weights by spinning the top off.I think realistic max weight for snatches is 26 KG and for swings 29KG(Handle is 8.5kg and max is 4 x performance power pro 5kg to get 29kg.)
