  • definitely suitable for a beginner
Size: 4" x 4" x 0.5" No Feet
I am new to doing work with metal so I didn't have a lot of expectations going into my purchase. I am still working on my technique (I got this for work-hardening wire, primarily, but I do want to get into stamping later, and this seems like it will be good for that as well). I am not always the most precise person, so I wanted this 4 x 4 size instead of something smaller. (For what it's worth, I don't have the cash to outlay for precious metal wire. I'm sticking to copper and other base metals for practice. These materials are in my price range!) It seems the quality on these can be variable, but the one I received was well-made. (It is possible a more expert eye would find a flaw, but I did not.) It looks exactly like the product image. It was super heavy, but then, that's what you would expect from a solid block of metal. Because it is heavy, it won't slide around on your work surface (do work on a flat surface, though). I have been using this on top of a placemat so I don't damage my (wood) table when hammering. I think this also cuts down on the noise, but I live in a single-family home so noise is not too much of an issue anyway. I don't have fancy machined tools or calipers or surfaces in my home, but to my eye, the angles were all 90 degrees and the surfaces were flat, and the size was as advertised (except for this being a little less than 3/4 inch thick; since I was looking to work with the large, flat surface, this is not an issue for me). The surface of mine was not marred or scratched in any way. It did have a small amount of oil on it (to prevent rusting) but the oil did not damage the protective cardboard box it arrived in at all. (When you re-oil, be sure to work in an area with good ventilation. If you need to remove the oil, a solvent like acetone -- in nail polish remover or in big cans at hardware stores -- will work. Don't use water to clean it as water can contribute to faster rusting of steel items.) Thus far, I have not damaged the surface with my hammering. I am certainly not abusing this thing; I'd classify my use as light at this point. But for me, as a beginner, this is perfect. It was inexpensive enough for me to try it out and see how I like wire working (so far, so good!) without taking shortcuts. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy this same one to start out with. ... show more

  • No complaints.
Size: 4" x 4" x 0.5" No Feet
This 4x4 steel bench block arrived quickly and well packaged. It came in a good sturdy fitted box, which is nice if you want to store it in a drawer. It came greased up just a little bit, to keep it from rusting in transit, but not too gunky. It was easily cleaned off with just a paper towel. I'm happy with it. Seems like a good deal, considering I got free shipping with Amazon Prime. Shipping is always the killer whenever I've tried to order one of these online, since it's solid steel! The only thing I've been able to find locally for this price, is a 2x2 block. So I'm very satisfied with this purchase. It's a very handy tool to have on the workbench to flatten and work-harden jumprings. And also for metal stamping and to flatten round wire. ... show more

  • Good bench block...
Size: 4" x 4" x 0.5" No Feet
Although it arrived in very poor packaging, I was happy to see that the bench block itself had not been damaged in transit. But other than, the block is as advertised. It is of descent quality and serves it's purpose well. I use it to harden wire for numerous jewelry making projects. It has held up well so far. I am happy with it! ... show more

This steel bench block is the perfect size for all my jewelry and leather projects. I love the size and the solid metal strength. It helps so much to have that solid smooth surface when working with various materials. This block is easy to store, easy to use, easy to clean and solid! If you need a steel block then look no further. ... show more

  • Good Anvil
Size: 4" x 4" x 0.5" No Feet
I had previously ordered this item, but when the package arrived, it was the wrong item. I immediately contacted Amazon, and they provided a return shipping label and provided a full refund. When I attempted to re-order, the item showed but was unavailable because a note posted by Amazon indicated they were investigating the quality and the shipping practices of the seller. I kept the item in my wish list and discovered it was again available, although at a slightly higher price (a bit over $1 more). I received the bench block in a timely manner, and it was packaged well. I could clearly see the oil inside the clear plastic wrap, and prepared for the wrap removal by placing the entire package on a paper towel. After I removed the outer wrapping, I wiped the entire block with a paper towel sprayed with denatured alcohol. All oil removed promptly. As a side note, all the oil on the block was a light yellow, which indicates clean oil. There were no traces of anything rough in the oil either. The block has a satin finish. Although I can see the finish with my naked eye (ok, with my "cheater" glasses on), the finish did not transfer to my metal. I flattened and work hardened with a leather mallet both Bronze and Fine Silver with no transfer of finish nor marring to the block's surface. I also like the the larger size for when I'm working with larger jewelry/art pieces (I also have a smaller bench block for smaller work, e.g., ear wires, wire bails). ... show more
