Reasonably well made. Leg design terrible. Remove the paint
Overall this 60KG anvil from Vevor was a decent purchase for a newer blacksmith. I purchased this to use in addition to my old passed-down Fisher that's seen better days and has more sentimental value.
First things first...strip the paint. I used a wire wheel and removed all the awful paint from about 4" down from the top plate and from both horn ends entirely. Otherwise you're going to be smelling melted paint and possibly contaminating your work.
Second...the leg design and ring. Its awful. The leg design makes it hard to mount and the ring is deafening. So...i ended up using heavy chain to wrap multiple times around the anvil and lag bolt to opposite sides of my mount/stump. This took out the ear-piercing ring entirely.
Third, the pritchel hole is near useless. Its entirely too large. I'm going to see if i can find something to sleeve it and weld in place to shrink the pritchel hole diameter(1.1in from MFG).
Other than those few issues it's a great deal. I've already used this anvil for a handful of projects.
I am a beginner blacksmith. I ordered the anvil based on price and features.
Since receiving it, I have used it on several projects.
It's stood up amazingly well.
I was afraid that it's lifetime was going to be short. From my experience with the anvil, I will be using it for years to come.
Excellent quality for the price.
Functional and worth it compared to other suppliers!
Showed off to one of my other blacksmith friends and he bought one as well!
I never received the anvil, so it is impossible to review it. I was sent a scissor jack instead, which I have no need for. I am supposed to be getting a full refund for the anvil. We will see. If you can't send the anvil then I won't be doing any more business with you.
