For one handed use only?
I hate to knock this product too much, because it is what it claims to be, and seems to be of good quality. However, I returned mine because the handle wasn't wide enough for both of my hands and was a little too fat for my small hands to grasp very tightly, which are two major no-go's for me. I use these (like I assume most Amazon buyers will) in my home, specifically, in my living room. While I will admit that I don't have the most expensive decor and electronics, what I do have I don't want an errant swing to destroy, and this felt like an accident waiting to happen.I've attached pictures showing the difference between the 10lb GoFit brand bell that I am replacing and the 12lb bell from SPRI. You can see the width difference, and hopefully tell that there is a difference in the circumference of the handle as well.

Was excited, extremely disappointed.
Was so happy when the kb arrived. Was double boxed and looked promising in the box. The disappointment came once I took it out of the box. It's a beautiful vinyl color, no dimples at the bottom of the bell, but it is not flat and will wobble. Renegade rows might be an issue.The handle is comfortable shape, wide enough for double hand grip kb swings, but slightly slippery. The paint is smooth, so heavy sweat can make it not ideal for you.Now, the main problem. Casting was poor and you can tell there was a seam on the underside.Someone tried to file down the underside to even it out and make the grip smooth. It would not be usable otherwise. There are also clear flaking on the sides of the handle and more on the undergrip. The flaking might cut the fingers underneath. I'm conflicted to either keep or return since these are hard to come buy. I've tried a few snatches and it seems usable enough, but not sure if you plan on doing KB flow workouts how it would feel after repeating reps. Will test it out over the next day or so to see how it feels. The bell otherwise seem well balanced. If you plan on doing basic swings, it is probably good enough. And tbh, everything eventually will have the wears look. I wouldn't be so critical if I bought a used item, but when it is sold as "new", it is not ok.I clearly got a dud and I shouldn't pay full price for a new item when it is clear it is an imperfect item. Pictures will show what I am talking about. Maybe you will luck out and your kb is perfect.

Smaller Handles, Bump on the Bottom...
I have had this for a while now, though I don't use it often anymore because generally, I need a heavier bell for my workouts to be effective these days.So there are two reasons I'm giving this two stars: 1) The handle is small and 2) there's a very large bump from the vinyl on the bottom, bigger then other vinyl brands of kettlebell I own, which makes it definitely not a safe option in my book for the renegade row. Any other kettlebell move I think would be fine with this, except for the handle size.So just some information to help you figure out if this would be a problem for you: I am a woman, albeit a large frame woman. But as large frame women go, I'm at the smaller end of that particular measurement range. My palm measures 7 and 3/4 inches around the portion usually measured for gloves. So although I have shorter fingers, because I got the double curse of being short and large framed, my hand width itself is larger sized for a woman. So if you are a man with anything other than really small hands for a dude, I really can't see how these would work well for you. And if you are a woman who genuinely has very petite hands, these may be ok for you. If you are a medium frame woman, I think these may not be ideal for you either. For me, these are harder for anything that isn't a single hand move...the moment I have to have two hands on it, or it requires transfer to another hand, it gets easier to have an accident that can cause a dropped bell and/or an injury. I prefer the Yes4All kettlebells to these.

My body says Yes, I like these.
My first Kettlebell. I purchased One 8lb. It arrived. I thought it would be cool for added daily exercise: to begin with One.Nope, for a beginner, I think the key is balance. I went and ordered a 2nd 8lb.I now have a pair. Two Orange 8lb Kettlebells.My not understanding their size, once received, I was shocked. I thought they would be bigger.It was my perception, I guess, being a weight of 8lbs. It's cool. I am able to manipulate them, holding themin different ways, firmly. I am using them during set workout time, and randomly through the day.I totally dig these, they are a welcome added to my daily routines.I have no experience with free weights, nor kettlebells. I have two 3lb each hand held weights, I use daily.These I use while Rebounding. They are more so for me to have something to hold, vs creating resistance.I stumbled on the Kettlebells viewing free weights, I then watched videos on Kettlebell workouts.Sold. I am good with the 8lbs. I can bear both *16lbs at the same time.. I FEEL THEM.I feel them in my core, my thighs, my upper body, my upper arms of course, good pain allowsyou to know you're alive.I won't be Juggling them together anytime soon.I am HAPPY, these bring challenge, it's a good thing.No worry of marring your floor. The exterior bottom is seamless, rubber vinyl dipped, covered.The top/handle is matte dimpled rugged black coated Iron. Use your nugget, don't apply lotion on hands and then lift.They are what they are, made for their intended use: safety first ;) Two pics. You to see them side by side.And 2nd pic, you to see as standard size coffee mug, next to, for size comparison. All is Gewd.

Decent Kettlebell, just wish it had a better grip.
Got this for home workouts and wanted something with a rubber coating on the base of the kettlebell to protect it from getting banged up outside and also to avoid damage to things inside when I put it down or store it. Price is reasonable. My only complaint is the grip. I sweat easily and the horns on this are painted, so it does get slippery as I work out. There is a little bit of texture, but not much. It's better than a brand my gym has with polished chrome handles, but not as good as powder coated kettlebells for grip. I will probably ad tape to improve the grip. Overall a pretty decent option.

Basic Kettlebell.
Three stars because the inside of the handle is uneven, with little picks in the iron, so this may cause a cut on my hand if I'm not careful when swinging.Apart from that, the kettlebell handle is a perfect size, not too big. The quality of the vinyl is very good. I would have given 5 stars of not for the uneven texture on the inside of the handle.

Cumple Muy Bien Su Función.
Con asa cómoda y una cubierta de plástico para proteger las superficies, cumple perfecto con su función. Compraría más de diferentes pesos sin dudarlo.

Kettle bell doing what kettle bells do
Doesn’t do much except weigh. The handle can be gripped. The weight is accurate. Not much more to say ... it does what it’s supposed to.
