This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. thank you. Works great, like my best fiend.
I like it much better than I thought I would. The jawhorse came promptly and the delivery co. you chose was awsoome. It will be a great tool for my purposes. The jawhorse itself is really neat.
add in the other attachments and there's not much you can't accomplish alone. this piece of equipment has a wide assortment of uses. it makes working by yourself much easier. fantastic for anyone that likes to do woodworking or any type of metal work. its extremely strong and very sturdy with the three leg design.
Personally, I take pains to purchase U.S. Build quality * I have been knocking mine around and using it frequently and it has been standing up to abuse. Likes:1. The Jawhorse is of the latter, in my experience and opinion. The wheel otherwise it totally inconspicuous except when you need to roll the thing along behind you. * The wide front feet can be steadied with your foot.
I've also heard questions of country of origin. The rolling feature works best on relatively smooth ground, whether dirt, concrete, or asphalt * When stored, it stands on end and has a much smaller footprint than my Workmate * When transporting the tool to a jobsite, it takes up less space in my truck than does my Workmate (and, when I've had to borrow my wife's small car, it fits no problem in a small trunk).2. Excellent build design * The ability to apply and release the clamp with your foot rather than with your hand really is fantastic- it allows you to position the work with your hands while clamping the vise. I didn't get that until I used it- it is simply great on uneven ground. Plastic has its place; in this tool, the plastic parts are of high quality and judiciously used. * The reversible jaw gives you an outstanding working width * The tripod design is inherently more stable than a stand with four legs.
The frame and body haven't shown any signs of flex or stress.Cons: The only thing I can think of is that it is heavy. Small profile and portability: I wouldn't call this tool light, but it has features that make it much easier to store and carry. - made tools. This is a great feature that I have used already, and the openings are large enough for my size 12 work boots. (For example, a modest miter saw table that clamps in the jaws, turning it into an instant miter saw stand) Most of the things associated with infomercials are schlock- This, folks, is an exception. One of the nice things is that many of the jigs I made for my Workmate also work on the Jawhorse. This goes along with the quality, as far as I'm concerned, so it is something that I've been OK with.Other thoughts:I've read much about the use of plastic in this particular tool, and my experience has not borne out that this is an issue whatsoever. I have been using Black and Decker products for years in lieu of sawhorses and this product has them beat.
Don't be put off by the plastic on the wheel- it is tough and durable. Truly an extra set of hands, this is. Clever. I wish it was made here, but it isn't, and that fact hasn't affected its quality as far as I'm concerned.I am a contractor and this tool has earned a place in my workshop because of its quality, durability, and usefulness. The fact is, however, this is a well-made, well-designed, tool that is built to last. I've had cheap metal parts that have given way and quality tools that use some plastic that are accurate and durable, and last.
* When folded, the rear leg serves as an effective carry handle, so you can carry the tool rather like a suitcase * The rear handle, when extended and the rest of the tool is folded, allows you to tow the tool along the ground on its built-in wheel. * The clamping force is STRONG * The clamping actuator operates smoothly and reliably, the jaws release easily and quickly, and it is very easy to re-size the jaws for different-sized work3. The jaws are wide and strong, and the rubber inserts are high quality. It is solid.
I HAVE PUT IT UP 2 TIMES AND WAS VERY EASY.FOR A TOOL THAT IS MADE IN CHINA I'M IMPRESSED HOW WELL MADE IT IS.HAVE NOT GOT TO USE IT AS OF YET, BUT I'AM SURE WELL BE A VERY USEFUL TOOL THAT I HAVE NEEDED FOR ALONG TIME.
