    Default MicroMark - Decent Quality?

    Was searching in here for threads related to anvils since getting a small forge is in my near future. In one thread someone wrote that MicroMark has some good ones and as it happens I got one of their catalogue a few days ago. I didn't find anvils (haven't ordered my forge yet so that part of the AD hasn't taken hold yet) but I immersed into their catalogue today. Holy crap! I started making notes for things I wanted and passed the $1K mark before I hit the halfway point. They sure have some great stuff in there - and waaaay less expensive than Woodworker's Supply or Woodcrafters. Now I have to prioritize - I hate that.

    Has anyone tested their stuff for durability or reliability? I like what I see but sometimes that's just the come-on, and the action later sometimes proves disappointing. (Seems I've experienced that in my 20s, so I should be more careful in my 50s - or so it seems - are we still talking about MicroMark?).

    I have the exact same problem every time I get a MicroMark catalog.

    I've ordered a lot of things from them, and never had a problem with any of it.
    I haven't ordered any power tools, or anything like that, so I'm not sure about that stuff.

    My experience has been good. The tools, although small, are really high quality for the one's I've bought.
