CAP Barbell Cast Iron Kettlebells review

CAP Barbell is the budget choice, and its kettlebell collection is the cheapest way on this list to start. On November 13, 2026 CAP's store listed 14 kettlebell products, with the Vinyl Coated Cast Iron Kettlebell from $16.99, the Hammertone Cast Iron Kettlebell from $21.99, the Enamel Coated Cast Iron Kettlebell from $26.99 and a Rubber Coated Kettlebell with Chrome Handle from $26.99 on sale. It also sells soft and cement-filled options, and CAP says it has more than 40 years of experience making fitness equipment. For a lifter, the hammertone or enamel cast iron bells are the closest to a gym bell. The trade-off is information: the store's collection page lists names and prices but little on handle diameter, tolerance or warranty, so you get less to compare than with Rogue, REP or Perform Better. CAP also has no competition-style bell, so your grip changes as you move up.
