Rank #2 in Best Kettlebell 2026: The Handle Nobody Measures
Amazon Basics Cast Iron Kettlebell 10kg with Textured Wide Grip Handle, Black
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Amazon Basics 10kg kettlebell costs £26.42 and shows the same 13,251 ratings at 4.8 stars as the 6kg at number one, because the sizes share a review pool.
It takes second because that evidence is real and the casting is good, but its handle diameter field reads 3.8 with no unit, and the 6kg version of the same bell does not publish the figure at all.
How those 13,251 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.8 stars.

Questions people ask
What does 3.8 mean?
The handle diameter, with no unit named — the same measurement appears as 2.7cm and 3.2cm on other listings here.
Is it the same bell as the 6kg?
Yes, the same family in another size, which is why the ratings and reviews are identical.
Is cast iron better than concrete?
It is more compact for the same weight and does not chip its shell; the concrete bells here are cheaper.
Is 10kg a good starting weight?
For most men, yes; for smaller frames, the 6kg at number one.
Why is it second?
Because the evidence is the deepest here and the build is good, but its handle figure cannot be read.
How many ratings does it have?
13251 at the time of collection, averaging 4.8 stars, with 84 per cent five-star and 1 per cent one-star.
