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

I definitely like this anvil it has a hardened worksurface and nice horn the Hardy hole is that in the Harden steel so it holds well. I really enjoy using this Anvil.CJ

The heat treatment isn't deep enough. Still a solid anvil for the price and size

The location of the round hole on the horn, so close to the ~4mm step up to the face, makes the hole pretty awkward to use. As a Pritchel hole, it is too close to the step to provide full-round support for punching. As a round hardy hole, maybe you could locate against the step to control rotation, but otherwise the step is a problem. Because of the step, the best use of the hole is probably just for a hold-down. If you need hole for a punch, use a bolster plate over the square hole instead--that won't mess up your work.If the makers wanted to make the round hole useful, they should move it more onto the face, extend the face around the hole, or raise the horn to match the face and provide all-round support to the hole.

Bought the 25 lb originally and decided it was too small. Put it back in the box and shipped it back and immediately ordered the 66 lb anvil. They must have over nighted it to me because the 66 lb.er got here immediately. Anvil looked good and couldn't be more pleased as of now. That is again guys!

Great little anvil. Perfect for small knife making and rings like a bell!

Perfect for a small space

Great way better than the 66lb seams to be getting higher quality as the weight goes up can't wait to try the 132lb buying that one next have them all then still cheaper than buying one old anvil even if they only last a few years buy new ones the price is great on these

I have no idea what thickness and sheer essence mean ?? this anvil serve you well as a beginner. The face of the anvil is able to withstand all but direct missed blows, which you won't care when they happen because its a cheap anvil! This can handle all of the work you're going to be doing as you learn. Once you've mastered the basics you can spend the money on another anvil.

Been looking for an anvil for a couple of years. Either the good ones are toooo expensive, or the cheap ones are cast iron and too soft. This is a good tool for me, as a hobbyist and addition to my workshop. It_ no joke. Heavy, solid, and hard. Has a hardy hole and a pitcher hole. The thing sings when you are pounding metal. Very happy with this anvil.

Great anvil for the price, I sand blasted mine and polished it up some, it has a lot of casting defects that are minor but with a little time you can make this anvil look great, it is far superior to the harbor freight anvil. it rings and has good rebound
