Question Purchasing Kettlebells

I was wondering if kettlebell users could give me an idea of where they purchase their kettlebells and what brand they prefer. Up to this point i have purchased at Target, the GO FIT brand, but as I get into higher weights, I'm needing other options. Thanks for your help!

I have Gofit and Jfit and regret getting either for higher weight, the jfit is fine for 20lb and under but the 25 I have rips up my hands. I just ordered a 26lb from mbodystrength for 40.75 (that is the total w/shipping) - I heard good things about them but maybe someone else can chime in

Oh and the jfit 35lb and the gofit 45lb I have are fine for non rotational moves like swings and deadlifts for me but if I ever made it up to higher than the upper 20lb range for snatches and the such I would be buying something else for that. Also, I heard art of strength has nice bells that don't hurt

I have a couple from GoFit, several Aders, one from Muscledriver and one Perform Better. My preference is Ader, particularly when going up in weight, because the larger the bell, the larger the handle. I have tiny hands and have to really take the handle thickness into account or I'll drop the bell. I would love to try one from MBody as I've heard they're good but I'm afraid the handle would be too much for me.

I really, really like my Aders (14kg, 20kg, 24kg). I've gotten them at both kettlebellinc.com and roguefitness.com (both vendor experiences were good).

Here's another vote for mbodystrength.com. They ship fast and their prices are great.

I use my perform better kbs the most. The earlier brand had a rough handle but that has been fixed. I also like the Ader kbs, I have 2 set of those. I use my muscle driver kb the least. Also, perform better have their kbs on sell frequently. Just google perform better and you will get their web page.

I started with the GoFit kettlebells from Target and I do like them. But eventually I ordered a set of Aders from Lisa Shaffer at Kettlebell Inc. and I love those.
