That's a great price on that anvil. I purchased mine back in 2021 and I paid $339.00 for it and it is the very same 132 lb. anvil that you are showing here. So far it's held up nicely
They also sell a black version that's rated at 55 rockwell (the blue is supposed to be 50). I've had one for about a year and I'm really happy with mine. It took a while to clean up and prep for use, but that's all part of the fun. good solid piece of steel. Note that the top is surface ground, which leaves a 'texture' (its really cosmetic, you can't feel it) on the surface and most of the time when you see a dent in the face what you're really looking at is a disruption in the surface micro-texture. I ran an indicator across a couple 'dents' and picked up less than a tenth, if anything at all. I'd definitely but it again if mine suddenly melted or something.
ive never used an anvil, but i just ordered the 132 lb Vevor. I think as i learn it will be perfect. its hard for someone brand new to justify buying an expensive vintage USA anvil unless they are rich, and I'm not. thanks for sharing
Absolutley!! I used a track anvil for about 2 years and it worked great! Used it to forge hooks and lanterns and smaller fire pokers to sell. Once I could finally afford a “better” anvil, I got one. Then it just goes on from there! 🔥⚒️🔥
one of the other benefits to the vevor anvils are they get delivered to your door, if you trying to get an old anvil 99% of the time you got to go and pick it up yourself, for someomne starting out who may not have a car ye this is a real advantage too, i got unlucky with the first one in it had some faults and they gave me a full refund and told me i could keep it due to return shipping being more than the anvil is worth, the second one was as expected from all the great reviews of them, for the cost they really are a no brainer choice i'd say well done to vevor or the company making them for putting new hardened steel anvils out there for so cheap. money for money you cant get an old one in good condition for twice what these sell for. its a shame about the sizin and positioning of the two holes, they said the position was to allow for a long socket bar to pass through to the bolt down holes in the feet, as mentiond a flat ledge and a better size hole for the pritchel would have been an easy rectification as they are cast, along with a more standard size hardy on some of the various sized anvils over all 10/10, for price 8/10 for design, 8.5/10 for casting
i got the 66lb steel due to having a small shop, i tested it with the hardness files, its between 55 and 60 rather than the 50 quoted, here in the UK the first one i got was crap, it had a bad delmination spot in the face which to me was an instant refusal and the two holes, hardy and pritchle were blocked with flashing in the middle, they gave me a full refund and told me i could keep it because the shipping would be too expensive to return, i ordered a second one and it was great
Lie to yourself brother, this anvil is piece of junk infront of those anvils you already have... Even any newcomer can see the huge difference between those anvils.
There are definitely differences man, especially in price, age, production and materials. This is a decent anvil to get the job done. No one lying here brother.
@@D-allmyty for real man, it’s not bad at all from I see so far, I’m going to work over the top of it for a while and see how it does. It’s already better than the track anvil I started with (about paid the same too!) I had a Vulcan years ago after that, this one is better than that thing too. We’ll see!
Your right, it is a piece of junk compared to those anvils, but for many aspiring smiths it could be the difference between becoming a blacksmith and not. All of the reviews Ive seen agree that its worth the buy.

I've got a track anvil and it's been working great for me, but if I had the money for one of these I would absolutely do it.

i'd say well done to vevor or the company making them for putting new hardened steel anvils out there for so cheap.
money for money you cant get an old one in good condition for twice what these sell for.

I agree 100% and thanks for all of your insight! There are definitely some design changes I’d make, but all in all, it’s most certainly worth it!
Love it
Yes sir! I was actually quite impressed!
Who the hell makes a smurf anvil anyways... BTW love your content.
😂😂 I can’t stand the color, but it’s already wore wheeled off! I appreciate it! 🔥🔥
Why is same color as Blue man group? Great honest review
Someone needs to do a cumulative review tally. Looks like Vevor asked a lot of people to do a review.
No one reviews the black Acciaio anvil that's supposed to be harder than the blue.??

Damn I need a round horn.... I'm seeing it looks like the lighter versions have a more true to round horn
nope, they not round, they oval too (66lb), a stake anvil is a good way for a true round horn

@@yellowgooseforge if you are saying it then I'll take it.. But in the video you are not looking totally convinced with that anvil.

Why would someone say it’s a piece of junk? Why?
