Customer Reviews for VEVOR Cast Iron Anvil, 55 Lbs(25kg)Single Horn Anvil with 8.6 x 4.1 inch Countertop and Stable Base, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, for Bending, Shaping, Twisting

Just rite. Took 2 guys to deliver. Good value. Tried to put a dent in it, not possible, good steel. Perfect.

My husband has a blacksmith shop and I bought this anvil for him, he loves it. It doesn't take up a lot of space and it is perfect for what he needs it for. It is exactly what it says it is. He has used it a lot now and it still looks good.

Has a good steel flat top on it, though not the highest grade. while it takes more than a love tab it deftly doesn't take a mighty blow with a mist hammer strike to dent the top. The horn is a bit of an odd shape but it works well enough. The Hardy tool hole isn't 1" somewhere between 3/4 and 7/8. Also the blue paint on the side and horn definitely isn't just for rust prevention.. For sure it has a secondary or maybe primary purpose to cover up many many defects in the metal That's why I give it 4 stars but don't get me wrong overall im happy with it, definitely a good starter anvil.

Excellent starter anvil. The little hammer supplied is a tempo hammer. you use it to test the levels of ringing off your anvil to check for voids. It's also carbon steel (numbers on the head say 1040) so you can test the anvil to "hear" any defects. The blue paint has to come off...but that's normal. the edges were still a little too sharp for me.but easily fixed...the horn has a nice ring to it as well..Hardy hole needs a clean up as does Pritchard hole. ..but great value, great service, great piece of kit. can't wait to move steel....its not an ASO (anvil shaped object) ....ITS AN ANVIL...and great bargain...getting a 10kg for portable work next

NOTE: this review is for the 66lb (30kg) steel (acciaio) anvil, not the lower weight and inferior quality 55lb anvil.This steel anvil is of sufficient mass to begin smithing on a small scale. I'll be using mine for tool and knifemaking and have no doubts that it will suit this need. The face is well machined, with chamfered edges to prevent damage. The hardy hole is the right shape and size though it does need cleaning up to be free of burrs. It has a nice sustained ring suggesting that the steel is well formed with no major defects but it will need to be dampened so as not to drive everyone around insane - a big old speaker magnet attached under the heel should help. I've not pounded any hot metal yet and will report back once I do. At this price, you'd be hard pushed to find anything better!

I ordered the 132lb. Version. Can't beat it for the money, good rebound, I like mine.

The product Is what you_ expect to get for the amount you pay. The anvil I received came in the blue finish that other similar models show. It had some rust in the hardy hole. The horn doesn_ have much of a ring to it but the face was perfectly flat and did have a nice ring all over. All in all I_ say this would suit anyone looking for something to get them started without breaking the bank.

Very good little anvil. Nice to make small pieces with.

Er ist mehr als ausreichend f_ meine Zwecke!

Great anvil and works perfect for blacksmithing
