These are the best sawhorses I have ever used. I finally got tired of those wobbly, fold-up ones made of plastic or metal. These horses are sturdy, easily folded up for storage and "don't wobble under the load of a few pieces of material being worked on. A great product "MADE IN AMERICA", need I say more.
Very strong unit, first one had a problem with one leg not locking talking with the manufacture they corrected the problem immediately to my satisfaction. Very good company to deal with.
I have had these saw horses for almost 20 years. I like the 36" tall height. They are very sturdy and well built. They fold up compact. Haven't seen anything better on the market. A little heavier than some, but if you want good and sturdy, worth it.Randy
- Outer edges of the lower metal ridge were a bit sharp, so I sanded each edge smooth. capacity for each horse. With no fear of a horse collapsing, they can also be used to store heavy materials, or as a temporary stand for an expensive tool.- At 36" high, not counting the 2 x 6, these are great if you're tall. This is probably my 10th set of horses, and these are the only ones so far, that are strong and safe enough for that purpose. Takes under a minute to open or close both horses. I flattened them to about 1/16" thick with a ball-pien hammer against an anvil.
(See customer images). Took about 5 minutes.Pros:- For transport or storage, each leg has a spring-loaded pin which can be quickly unlocked and folded into a cavity in the horse bottom and locked in the closed position. StableMate SH4236-2Cons:- Each horse weighs 20 lbs., due to the heavy-duty frame. (However, don't leave them in the rain).Other:- A 2 x 6 on the top of each horse adds weight, but now a circular saw blade won't hit the horse frame. I weigh 270 lbs., and the horse won't move when I try.- 500 lb. I sat on top of one of them and it didn't budge or creak.- The horses are sufficiently strong to use as a scaffolding base, although Fulton says not to (no doubt for liability reasons). Clamp things to that board, and with a large hook in the end of each 2 x 6, they hang up.- The horses are much easier to carry with a strong handle screwed to the side of each 2 x 6.Summary:A rock-solid, very strong, stable horse.
Engineering on this product is precise. Took about 2 minutes.- Four rivets on the bottom of each horse end poked up about 1/4", and could catch on things like your clothes. They are also wide, at 42".- Each leg has a large nylon slip-resistant foot angled to lay flat. The legs don't pop out when you carry them.- Legs unfold easily and lock into place so they stay put. E.g., the pin-to-frame-hole clearance is virtually zero, so you might have to giggle a leg to get it to lock.- There is NO side-to-side or front-to-back wobble. It won't scratch hardwood floors, and the horse is less likely to sink in soft surfaces.- Steel is 16 gauge (which is thick for this type of tool) and heavily zinc galvanized for rust prevention. Absolutely a 5-star product.
These are very well put together sawhorses. Who writes a review on sawhorses. Well, there are very few products out there that actually give you the feeling that you got what you paid for, and maybe even a little bit more. They're very well built with heavy gauge metal and are rock solid. I'm very picky about what I buy and base most of my purchases off of research and reviews: You won't be disappointed with these.
