I am glad I chose the steel kettlebell, i am enjoying it emsely it is 26.4 lbs not used to it , but will get there; you guys outshined your competitor (kettlebell kings) they dropped the bell so to speak I purchased a 30lb bell paid and everything two days later I had to call for an update. they called back the next day, now 3 days later guess what? No kettlebell they ran out, they have been out of stock for months excuses, excuses excuses; what now well maybe in 3 months they will have it. hehehehe nice try I am sticking with Vulcan they were the right choice to begin with, I got what I paid for; no frills, no excuses everything as promised good job Vulcan see you soon to get the the other kettle bell for that pair.
