Tru Grit and Amazon Basics have a wider handle than Athletic Works, which makes the Athletic Works harder grip with 2 hands. The smaller girth of the handle of AW and TR compared to AB makes it easier for your hand to grab the handle. The AW casting and paint job are top notch, and better than AB. AB have a better double boxing for shipping than AW, which is robust. I prefer the TG for the grippy paint and handle design over AB and AW. This is a good deal and thumbs up to the OP.
If you start lifting in KG though, you won't be able to lift items measured in lbs., and there's a slight chance that you'll start apologizing to everyone and saying "eh" after each sentence....
Hard to beat these for the price. Good quality. Smooth with no chipping. As for fitment the handle size does increase slightly with each weight increment. I bought a set from 12 -24kg about a year ago and still in great shape. Highly recommend.

What is DTP work? Heck if you expanded on some of the exercises I could do with the small weights here I think it would help everyone. They are dirt cheap and available now.
unfortunately 4KG was sold out otherwise I would have gotten a couple.
Google Kris Gethin and his DTP workouts. If you commit, enjoy the transformation.
Great deal here. I have a 20 and 24kg that I use at home, wife asked for something lighter to grow into but wasn't specific. I was able to get her the 8, 12, and 16kg combined for less than I paid for the 20kg alone thanks OP!
I like doing tris and pullovers with kettlebells. I generally don't do the conventional kettlebell movements though. The 35s are priced right! Thinking about it...
CapOne offers 15% CB on these kettlebells. The big 24KG is too expensive, even with the CB. I have two of each, except for the 24KG and the small one, which is OOS.
I bought one of each the first go around and really like them. Later I decided it's nice to have two of each size for a few exercises.

How does the girth of Athletic Works KB compare to that of a barbell?
