OK, I know very little about weights, but $200 for something heavy to pick up? And it’s not even factory perfect?
It’s got a handle! Lol
Powerblock is a good name brand. But this puppy, starting at 35lbs is not for the casual lifter.
Exercise equipment is not cheap. Even the novelty or “quick to break” equipment fetches a decent price. There is an attraction to working out, even if the equipment becomes a laundry rack.
As for these PowerBlock Kettlebells, I would concur with @therealjrn. Even blemished, Powerblock creates great products that combine functionality, adjustability, and quality. Kettlebells are a decent way to get people moving and growing stronger (find so many free instructional workout videos for them on Youtube). Then, the cost really is reasonable considering 4 entry-level weight Kettlebells (10 lbs - 30 lbs) could add up to cost $200. Now, as @therealjrn pointed out, this model is not entry-level, but this is a great price for those looking for heavy training.
Your Amazon driver gets a good workout too.
I ordered the Powerblock Dumbbell from here. Everything arrived at once… all 180 lbs. The UPS guy used the 2 wheel cart. To further ease the burden, I opened the garage and said, “Unload the stack here and I will do the rest.” One of us got a workout.
