February 22, 201610 yr 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.
February 22, 201610 yr Says here they are still made in Germany: http://www.blacksmithsdepot.com/peddinghaus-anvils.html
February 22, 201610 yr Author 3 hours ago, ThomasPowers said: No reason to believe one over the other is there? I was curious. 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.
February 23, 201610 yr 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.
February 23, 201610 yr 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.
February 24, 201610 yr Author Thank you gentlemen. I can now, authoritatively, point out the Rigid Toolshop's error.
February 25, 201610 yr LOL So any time you make a mistake you give a discount to customers? It doesn't work that way
