Kettlebells?

[trail of dead]

I'm thinking about buying a set of kettlebells soon. Does anybody here use them? What do you think of your experiences with them? Advantages and disadvantages of their use?

If you already have 1" plates, you can buy adjustable kettle bells :

I use them and I like them a lot. It works your muscles in a different way and I believe strengthens your core great. In conjuction with normal free weights I think they are a great choice to have. Only disadvantages I can think of is sometimes when you do stuff when you hold them above your head they hurt your wrists a bit. You get used to it though.
