Customer Reviews for VEVOR Cast Iron Anvil, 88 Lbs(40kg) Single Horn Anvil with Large Countertop and Stable Base, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, for Bending, Shaping

This 22# anvil was mailed without any padding in a cardboard box (see photos) that fell apart in transit, and the anvil was scratched in many places. The rust has started taking over where the paint was scratched off.

it takes my swings from a 5lb hammer and still looks good

It’s heavy as I needed. Just use one time. Very good.

You can beat on it or drop it on Wile E. Coyote's head.

The anvil feels fairly lively! I couldn’t wait to finish a stand for it, so I worked off the shop floor with this little guy and it still produced good rebound and feels very sturdy. I wish there was a Pritchel hole, but I can just make a bolster plate for the Hardy I suppose. My anvil has a little oblonging on two of the sides of the Hardy and the horn is fairly thick at the point. This did make forming a circle around the horn a bit of a challenge, but this isn’t a dealbreaker for me. If you’re interested in starting to smith or just need a little farm/shop anvil I would highly recommend this anvil to you. If you’re a longtime smith and need an easily transported anvil, no doubt about it. If you’re looking for the magical and mythical qualities of an antique anvil, maybe not.

Solid steel not cast iron. Rings well. I don't often need an anvil, but when I do this one'll do just fine. Shipped UPS ground. My UPS guy isn't happy with me lol

Great little anvil! Perfect size for someone who has little space and/or traveling. Light enough to carry and solid enough for decent forging

Good anvil, nice size, great price, arrived quickly ; very happy with this purchase. Tested this anvil and it was pretty hard, nice sound too. You will have to mount it properly to avoid loud striking noise.

I bought this anvil 4 years ago and it's seen a lot of use. It was a great starter anvil. Unfortunately today while I was forging, I hammered my piece and when I pulled it off the anvil ace, I notice I had put several cracks in the side. Not really sure what to do about it now

Good start for anyone. Heat and oil it if you have the means and keep it in a shed, garage, or barn, or out of the elements somehow to prevent rust.
