Customer Reviews for VEVOR Cast Iron Anvil, 22 Lbs/10kg Single Horn Anvil, with Large Countertop and Stable Base, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, for Shaping, Bending

For the price it's really a nice little anvil. The face is not the hardest (a missed swing left a mark right away, my bad) but it functions well for the most part. The hardy hole needed some hand filing to get some burrs off and to square it up a bit. The pritchel hole works alright but it is in a strange spot. The horn works alright for basic shaping but I am likely going to have to take a grinder to it to remove the paint and smooth it out a bit. It isn't like I was expecting miracles with an anvil of this price, so I really can't complain. The big benefit is that the face is cast steel, not cast iron. It may not take direct hits well but it won't crack under pressure. Worth a look if you're just starting out.

Great, inexpensive starter anvil! I purchased this for my husband to use with his starter forge. Works as expected, no issues. Whomever packaged it put it, though, did so in the flimsiest piece of cardboard they could find though put together with a crap-ton of packing tape. It arrived with the untaped portion of the box shredded off and 1/4 of the anvil exposed and scuffed up. Didn't make a difference to my husband for what he was using it for, but I wasn't pleased about it since I was giving it to him as a gift. Just glad it didn't get stolen off the porch!

Pretty good value for the price, the casting seems to be good and the flat surface seems to be hard enough, not sure about the horn though and really that shouldn't be painted so it will need a bit of stripping and on mine the hardy hole needs a bit of filing to remove some flashing. Well see how it holds up over time but really for the price it's not bad to have in the shed.

The anvil was delivered without damage. But the real sizes of the hardy and pritchel holes (34x34mm and diam 32 mm) do not correspond to the sizes indicated on the vevor site (27x27mm and diam 27 mm), nor to the sizes in the user manual (29x29mm and diam 26 mm). It forces to buy more expensive hardy tools meant for larger anvils. Vevor gave me a price reduction of 98€ for this reason. Vevor should adapt their anvils with hardy and prichel hole sizes in proportion with the anvil sizes !!! In this 60kg anvil case they should be rather 25x25mm and diam 20 mm. And it took me 4 hours of grinding to remove a 1 to 2 mm layer from the round horn because the casting was in that zone at the surface full of very small air pockets. This horn had also to be shortened by 10 mm because of presence of larger air pockets in it's end. Rebound and hardness are both ok.

L'enclume est arrivée dans son carton défoncés. Résultat la bigorne est tordue ! Sinon L'enclume est très correct

Ordered and it was never delivered, what sucks is I had gotten it on a greSt discount and when notified I was given my money back and was told I could no longer get the discount price. Honestly it almost made me stop buying from vevor all together. If it wasn't for the descent prices I wouldn't have ever bought another thing from them.

You sent my order to NY. Enough said

Ich kann das produckt nicht bewerten, es kam nie bei mir an, in der bestell Info, steht es wurde Zugestellt, aber bei dem vervolgen des Packets, steht, dass es nie über die Grenze ging, es steht nur, das es bis zum Zoll geliefert wurde. Zurückerstaten, habe ich bis jez nicht gesehen wo man das könnte.

enclume de forgeron elle sonne se qui veux dire que il y a une movaise fonte elle risque de se fendre a la longue

Bei meinem 10kg Exemplar ist die Arbeitsfläche fehlerfrei, an den Seiten des Amboss sind aber einige Fehler im Guss, recht lieblos zugespachtelt und überlackiert. Das runde Horn ist am Ende leicht hochgebogen, evtl. verursacht durch den Transport. Das Holzplättchen im Karton reicht zur Dämmung nicht aus, da könnte man mit ein wenig mehr Verpackungsmaterial wesentlich besser vor Transportschäden schützen. Das Horn sollte ja nicht so gehärtet sein, wie die gearde Arbeitsfläche, insofern nicht schlimm. Man muss den Amboss ohnehin, noch mal bisschen überarbeiten, insbeondere an den scharfen Kanten.
