Ordered a set of adjustable competition kettlebells, they were on backorder which was fairly frustrating but ultimately they were delivered without issue. The "unboxing" was very underwhelming as there were some issues with the adjustable bells upon opening which could be improved. 1.) There is no wrench provided to loosen/tighten the hex nut (other manufacturers provide this small tool). I had to go to the hardware store to purchase a wrench for this purpose. 2.) The bells' shells were poorly painted/coated, there are drips, cracks, and chips in the coating. 3.) The bells were painted shut! I needed to take a screwdriver and hammer to the seam to crack them open which created more chips in the paint. 4.) When I finally got the bells open, a bunch of metallic dust spilled out and turned my hands and the floor black. 5.) The weights inside were stuck together, I needed to use a screwdriver and hammer between them to separate them. 6.) The weights inside aren't labeled so I labeled them myself. 7.) The weights inside move around and clank as the hex nut comes loose, there are no washers, locking nuts, or secondary nuts provided to prevent this. I had to make another trip to the hardware store to get rubber washers and a second jam nut to prevent this myself BUT the bolt is so large the local hardware store didn't carry washers or nuts large enough so I had to order them online. Many of these issues are with the actual bells themselves which I will include when I am asked to review the products as well. I chose Titan for my adjustable bells because I bought a set of 22kg bells from Titan several months ago and they're perfect...I read some pretty negative reviews of Titan's adjustable bells but I chose to order the Titan bells anyway because I liked my 22kg set so much AND the Titan bells were a bit cheaper than similar competitor options. BUT between the extra trips/online orders from the hardware store for a wrench, washers, and hex jam nuts...I probably spent the difference anyway. Every complaint I explained above I have seen in other reviews of these adjustable bells...you're obviously getting this feedback and choosing to do nothing about it. I wish I hadn't tried to save a few dollars, listened to my gut, and ordered a competitor's adjustable kettlebell instead. Unfortunately, I think this will be my last fitness equipment purchase from Titan.
