Rocketlok24-36 Adjustable Kettlebell

I purchased this for my wife who has been using kettlebells for 2 years. She says it feels like a normal kettlebell at each of the weights available. The burr from die-casting has been finished enough that it causes no discomfort when using. The weights are quickly and easily changed. The locking mechanism is easy to use and has not failed after 30 uses. I swung the kettlebell outside with the locking mechanism removed just to see what it would take to fling the weights out of the kettlebell, and found it almost impossible to do in normal use.

Wow, this thing is great. Much smaller than I expected.1) The closure on the front has 3 separate mechanisms: a twist of the black cover, a slide of the yellow tab and a slide of the red tab at 90 degrees to the yellow tab. So, unless you are purposefully trying to defeat the mechanism, it will stay closed.2) The tolerance on the inserts is very tight which means they do not rattle when swinging this thing around. However, it also means that they arrive with a bit of lube to get them to slide. Watch out that you don't leave residue of this oil on your fingers before you start swinging the thing around. I'm a bit concerned about corrosion which could ultimately cause the inserts to seize with the tolerance as tight as it is.3) The grip is smooth without any burrs. Big enough for 2-hand grip.It's an well-designed system, very compact and a great deal for the money compared to buying 4 separate bells.

6/16/16You can purchase the center cap. They are available for $7.50 plus $3.00 shipping. I'm going to order one cap as a reserve in case bell takes a bad fall onto the cap or sliding key should fail. Contact [email protected] and request.---------I use this in my office and take it with me when I travel by car. I also have the 14-20 lb set so between the two of them I have 7 kettlebell weight stops built into just two bells.The center of gravity is unchanged as you add or remove inner cylinders. No rattling - fit and finish are excellent. Feel is like a typical bell with a nice clear coat finish to a powder coated exterior.Mine was sold as new, but came with a scratch/ding in the front above the center cap. Could have been from shipping since it was only marginally protected with thin plastic bubble wrap and the box was beat up pretty badly. Bell was not in original packaging so maybe it was "gently used"??? I paid less than the retail price so I'm satisfied.My one concern, and it isn't a deal breaker...is the plastic center cap used to close the center space where the cylinders are housed. Specially the yellow tab which slides back and forth to release the center cap. It appears sturdy but a few bangs and a drop or two and who knows. And, its integral to the operation of the center cap opening/closing cycle. Perhaps you can purchase the center cap separately which I'm going to inquire about. That would be an inexpensive (???) bit of insurance. I'll post once I hear from Rocketlok.

Nice kettle bell wish they had heavier options. The little red lock for the latch is pretty worthless. Does not stay in place during activity. However it does not seem like the cover will fall off dispite this.

Bought this for my son. Love it! Great quality. Easy to use weight adjustment system. That equals 4 separate kettle bells. It is also the same shape as original kettlebells. Awesome product **** stars

company is awesome to work with. they responded to my inquiry immediately and went above and beyond to get my order to me asap. kettlebell is exactly as described - amazing quality and attention detail. it's comfortable to use. i can fit both hands while doing swings although i am petite. my husband is 6'2 and he also enjoys using it as well though he does one handed swings and a bunch of other moves i haven't worked up to yet. it's so versatile.

After reading the reviews for this kettle bell, I decided to give it a try. I had been looking for an adjustable weight kettle bell vs buying multiple ones and so far, it has exceeded my expectations. I love it. It's very solid, it doesn't make noise, the grip is nice, I love everything about it.

Love this piece of exercise equipment.
