I purchased a set of the new Vulcan training kettlebells (70/53/35/26/18) without ever laying hands on them. I've come to trust the quality and reliability of all the products Vulcan makes. These kettlebells were no different. Very solid, one-piece steel construction with wide, comfortable handles. Both my petite wife and I love the grip which has not been the case with some other brands & I've used several of the most popular options. Love the fact that they're all the same size similar to competition KBs which typically cost significantly more. All of the kettlebells that have arrived so far have been in perfect condition without a single ding or scratch. I love these and look forward to putting them to use for many years to come.
