Lifeline Fitness 9 lb Cast Iron Single Kettlebell

Love this kettlebell. Ordered because it would ship to AK unlike most and was pleasantly surprised by quality. The texture is a little rougher than I've seen on others, which I like because provides better grip. Have not actually weighed it to check specks but the weight is good for what I need. Same look as name brand ones at higher price points. Well worth the investment.

Materials and quality are top notch, and the free shipping makes it a far better deal than going with a brand name like Rogue Fitness or Kettlebell Kings. The 88lb version I received was dead on 88lb, though I'm sure as with most kettlebells in this price range, there will be some or - variance. Having said that, I bought 2 kettlebells in the same order - a 71lb and this 88lb version. The 71lb was packaged perfectly, first encased in form-fit styrofoam, and then in thick cardboard surrounded by plastic straps to keep it all together. It arrived in pristine condition! This 88lb version on the other hand, was just shipped loose in a cardboard box that by the time it was delivered, had the top half of the box ripped off during shipping. Plenty of dings, scrapes, and paint wear on the bell and handle, but not damaged enough to care or bother going through the hassle of returning it.
