12.5lb Ironmaster Kettlebell Handle
The original Quick Lock Adjustable Kettlebell Handle was regarded as a great way to get into kettlebell training without having to purchase a range of kettlebells.
The only downside was that the handle weighed 22.5lbs or 10.2kgs. This was a bit heavy for warmups or some one-handed movements. I previously advised customers to purchase a couple of lighter kettlebells for these exercises. This was not a massive drama as the lighter kettlebells are cheaper.
True to their traditions, Ironmaster designed and engineered a solution to this issue. By redesigning the handle they were able to significantly reduce the weight. The new mould eliminates a large internal section of the handle, while still retaining the overall structural integrity.

Which Handle Should I CHOOSE?
If you are not sure which adjustable kettlebell handle to use, let me help make the decision for you. If you have got the add on kit, I would probably get the 12.lb handle. This combo ranges from 5.7kg to 31.8kg which is a pretty good spread of weights for most users. If you didn’t, get the original kettlebell handle and you will have 10.2 to 26kg spread.
Do not deliberate too much. If you are looking at Ironmaster products you are already most likely familiar with their standing in the garage gym community. If you aren’t aware you won’t have to look far to find they are one of the premium global brands. So just get a handle and start training. My recommendation would be to buy just a single handle to start out with.
Once familiar with your adjustable kettlebell, you will know if you need another – heavier, lighter or the same if you want to do two handed exercises. Even if you end up getting a pair of each, the outlay is minimal compared to the range of kettlebells you will own. They will last forever which makes it even a better investment.
NOTE: This listing is just for the handle. Weight plates and locking screws are sold separately.
If you need weights and locking screws, we sell two different kits:
- 57.5lbs Kettlebell Weight Kit – this includes 6 x 5lbs plates, 1 x 2.5lbs and a standard size locking screw.
- 80lbs Kettlebell Weight Kit – this includes 1 x 22.5lbs plate and an add on kit locking screw.
Important: You can not use the 80lb kit unless you have the 57.5lbs kit. The 80lb kit extends the 57.5lb kit.
