Update: Holland anvils are back in stock soon. I had a call with them and they are very responsive. So now I have three options (McLellan 175lb, TFS 200lb, Holland 200lb). Anyone here has experience with Holland Anvils? (I've found one negative review in YouTube from a guy who has complains on the quality and service, but I don't want to decide based on a single review) Thanks, Lior

Thanks Michael! This is very useful information. I do plan to work in the garage or on the backyard, close to neighbors. Now I have doubts regarding this anvil due to your comment on the piercing ring. How bad is it? Did you friend manage to quiet it using magnets or chains? Thanks, Lior

Thank you all for the welcoming responses. I moved to the states 3 months ago. I live in San Diego. Before I relocated to US, I attended basic blacksmith workshop. Here in SD I would like to evolve this hobby at my home. I decided to buy new anvil. As for now these two (McLellan/TFS) are in my final list but I would be happy to receive more recommendations. My requirements: at least 150lb, shelf, less than $1800 including shipping to SD. Thanks, Lior

Hi, I would like to purchase a blacksmith anvil. Your comments and thoughts are most than welcome on the following two anviIs: TFS 200lb Anvil: Advertising link removed McLellan 175lb Anvil: Advertising link removed The TFS is cast from ductile iron while the McLellan is cast from 4140. Not sure which one is better and if there is noticeable difference. The TFS has an upsetting block. Thanks, Lior
