These were an upgrade from a much smaller farmers handle. They are solid for sure. Not as easy to set up as top loaders, but if you only do heavy farmers once in awhile these will be plently. Prepare to beat up whatever plates or bumpers you load them with, though.

As a kettlebell, they are large relative to what they weigh. It feels like swinging a purse. however, I use mine as a light throw bag, and for that it does quite well. No concerns about build quality. GoRuck gear is built to last, and most items have a lifetime warranty.
