hab34buy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I am considering buying a Kettlebell (a very large investment for me $$$ wise, but it is in honor of my recent graduation, so I think I might go ahead) and I had heard that some of the brands you can buy offline have a screw type thing on the bottom for weight plates to be attached to for when the kettlebell itself becomes to easy... 1) What brands are these? I tried a few sites, but they didn't specify 2) Is this safe? I mean do they actually screw in securely? Thanks in advance Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Styles Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Perform Better is the only brand I have seen this done with. I've bought 11 kettlebells now, including Perform Better, Power Max, and one Dragon Door. The Dragon Door one really is higher quality than the others I have. You cannot attach weights to them, but the handles are much nicer. For strength endurance work, a single weight kettlebell has a lot to offer.

Rick Browne Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I assume that takes some machining equipment? Because I dont have that... I do have a hammer drill. Would I be able to do it with that? No. Hammer drills are for drilling concrete and stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
