    You could try Irish Lifting, they have a good reputation around here:

    http://www.irish-lifting.com/kettlebells-pe-228.html

    You can buy a set or individual ones!

    Thanks, was hoping to buy a good few for work. They look good, just wondering if anyone is selling second hand ones to let me know also. :)

    They all seem to be expensive enough.

    The cheapest I found them were 2.50 per kg. What does everyone think? Is that a good price?

    Hi There

    €2.50/kg is a decent price, however be careful as IMHO it's not just about price. Some of the cheaper KB's can have a small ridge on the handle from the way they are manufactured, which can cut your hands up pretty bad. If possible make sure you can inspect the bells before you buy them.

    Also personally I would stay clear of the adjustable types where you fill them with sand etc or screw plates onto the end of the bells.

    Irish Liftings KB's are 30c/kg more expensive but are well constructed. The ones from Buy KB Dublin are more expensive again, but I just like their competition bells, simply because they are all the same size (till you go really heavy) and I just find them easy to work with.

    Best Regards,

    M

    Hi
    I got to see the KB's you are looking at here http://wg-fit.com/shop/

    They appear to be ok, but as I said previously, if possible inspect them before you buy them. Better safe than sorry.

    Some of the cheaper bells appear to be made in 2 halves, which are then joined together. This often leaves a slight ridge around the center of the KB which can cut your hands up fairly bad.

    While the KB's on the site above look ok, it's hard to tell from a photo, and the enlarged photo link does not work.

    Best Regards,

    M
