Customer Reviews for VEVOR Single Horn Anvil, 10 kg Cast Steel Anvil, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, Large Countertop and Stable Base, with Round and Square Hole, Metalsmith Tool for Bending and Shaping

Awesome for the price!Please note, you arent paying for a high quality anvil, Like...at all.. BUT it is very good for the price and gets the job done. Has a good ring to it and decent recoil. Not the best, but good. The BLUE color is butt ugly, so i ground that down and oiled it. It is also mold formed steel. So there is ALOT of flaws like gouges in the metal. Nothing a welder and some grinding couldnt fix. There was noticeable welds that were pre done from factory. I just added to it to smooth out. Top surface was smooth. Just rounded the edges and cleaned up he hardy hole. Alot of burrs and rough edges. Over all would buy another if i needed it!

I have seen worse and better quality anvils.1- There was some flashing I had to cut off on the underside of the horn, no surprise, I had planed to clean off the epoxy coating and slightly reshape the horn anyway. No big deal.2-Upon cutting and flap disking the chunk off I realized the color of the sparks determined it is cast with high carbon steel, using the spark test method.2-Be careful of the epoxy coating, as I'm sure it is very toxic, wear a respirator if grinding.3-There was some fine cast pitting on the horn mainly surface, I'm sure the coatings purpose is to cover these flaws. no big deal. see pic.4-The face is flawless and the hardy hole is square and center.5-the dimensions shown in the manufactures description pictures are way off, see pic.6-as for the hardness of the face, time will tell, if used correctly it should be O.K.not too bad overall for beginners utilizing for small projects, you get what you pay for. Made in China....of course.conclusion: WE NEED TO BRING BACK ALL MANUFACTURING TO NORTH AMERICA,

Pleasantly surprised. I am not a Blacksmith, I just needed an anvil to help me shape metal. Rebound rate is good, price is extremely fair. All I needed to do was to take a file and ease all the edges.

This anvil is pretty soft as anvils go. First day I left some marks in it with a rounding hammer.

Braucht etwas Nacharbeit, aber definitiv besser als eine Bahnschiene!

I love this thing. For a 66 lb'er it puts up with everything I dish out! There's nothing wrong with this little anvil.

Works good

This anvil price per pound is unbelievable. The placement of the holes is a little inconvenient and not cleaned out at all but again for the price I'm not complaining. I was using a railroad track that had a rebound of about 5 and the rebound on this anvil is about 9 so its a great upgrade. If I were to change anything it would be the shrink the horn a little and have it round instead of oval and move the holes but all in all I recomend this anvil to everyone whose interested in starting blacksmithing

This is not a high end anvil by any means, but for the price, it is an absolutely great anvil and it is very useful for what I use it, which is just sporadic hobby use. The anvil is perfectly capable to be used for hobby blacksmithing and just non professional home use. Thus far I have no complaints other than some poor finishing which ive had to improve by grinding the anvil and by repainting it, but once I was done setting up the anvil, it has been just perfect for what I intended to use it for. If youre gonna be doing a lot of blacksmithing and banging away at red hot steel, id recommend investing in a bigger, harder, poured steel anvil, not a cast steel like this one.

Great price and super fast delivery! Can't wait to shape some horseshoes on it!
