I have been pounding metal out on it for over week Hammered out somepretty thick spring steel into some hardy tools and the face of my hammer has dents in it now but theface of the anvil is still like new.
She is a beauty and solid steel that when hit sings like a bell. Will need to mount in order to stop the ring. The anvil is an excellent buy. Made in China. But extremely well made.
Great! Turned out black and about a half inch larger surface than advertised which is good. Hard surface, easy to manage but good enough for small projects. So far so good!
I would suggest this anvil to any amateur or begin or Smith or knife maker
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
I bought this for my 11 year old son to start blacksmithing. It works for him, it is soft so any big hammering might damage it. He has made a few projects with it. It gets the job done for the price.J.S.
I have a one car garage for a shop and this 66lb anvil is the perfect size. the only complaint is the hardy hole is not square (almost), but beyond that it is a great little anvil.
Beats harbor freight by a mile, great anvil, great value
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
