Cadair Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Having just ordered a new Peddinghaus number 12 anvil from the Ridgid toolshop in the UK, I enquired about delivery times. I was told, by them, that these are now made in the USA and would have to be shipped over?! Is this true? If so, has anybody noticed any difference in quality? Or is he just talking nonsense. Thanks in anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-D Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Says here they are still made in Germany: http://www.blacksmithsdepot.com/peddinghaus-anvils.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 No reason to believe one over the other is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did quite a bit of research and forum trawling before ordering and saw no mention of this. A change of manufacturer is likely to change the product. I'm not suggesting a US manufacture would be inferior, just different. I've seen some criticism of the recent German product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 at a moment it was said that they are made in Belgium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I know they're still being made in Europe, couldn't say if they've started here as well. Hit up Joey Van der Steeg on FB, (he responds faster over there), he'll tell you all you want to know about Peddinghaus, it's a passion with him.

TechnicusJoe Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Sigh..... RIDGID bought Peddinghaus the anvil and vise forging company, in Germany. RIDGID is American. Main center for RIDGID in Europe, is Belgium. The anvils have always been, and are still forged in Germany. Even though RIDGID is American and their main center in Europe is in Belgium.

Cadair Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thank you gentlemen. I can now, authoritatively, point out the Rigid Toolshop's error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 for that, they have to make you a big discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicusJoe Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 LOL So any time you make a mistake you give a discount to customers? It doesn't work that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
