395743 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The past couple times I was in at my local harbor freight I saw that their ASO was missing, so I looked it up on their website and I can't find it there either. Did they really quit selling them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.85 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I believe so, they have not been on their site since around the beginning of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
395743 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing! LOL! I wonder if they will come out with a replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgivun Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Local HF still has the 55lb ASO in the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Entrance Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The last time I was at my local Harbor Freight they had 3 sizes - 55#, about 30#, and the little 15# ones that are kind of nice to have on a corner of your workbench. In my opinion. No good for real hammering, of course, but it's nice to have a fairly firm, fairly flat surface of a fair size close at hand for tweaking small stuff. I see the benefit to having it, but I very much understand why someone wouldn't want to own one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Didn't someone say they were going to hard-face one of those anvils and see how it worked out? I've been mighty curious to know what happened to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinobi Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I had occasion to stop into HF last week and spoke to one of their sales people about their 'anvils' she agreed with me that they were utter garbage and said that they had not yet recieved their shipment of them but were still slated to stock them.

Farmall Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I was in a Northern Tool store yesterday and they had 2 sizes of the cast iron ASO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been mighty curious to know what happened to that. Somebody comes up with that idea every couple of months. I have yet to see a success made of it. Of course here I am where they grow. The cast iron is so bad I doubt you could do it. You would melt more iron out than the volume of rod you would get applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgivun Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I've seen a steel face soldered onto a grizzly anvil. I won't say it is preferred, but it was fairly serviceable as a basic anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
