Don't own them but always thought these looked pretty practical.

Getting towards the end of serious renovations and room is a bit tight. I have been using a couple of Tommy Tucker plastering benches as sawhorses and portable clamping/sawing/work surfaces and while they are good and sturdy, they will take up too much room long term. (Am on a tiny city block).
lots of things around like the Black and Decker 'Workmate', but not sure if they are any good. Not expecting perfection, but need a good stable surface that will fold up and hang on the wall.
Don't mind spending up to a couple of hundred for something good, but also not prepared to spend $1 for crap.
Any advice from someone that owns something like this?

Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.

I think The Jaw horse is an American version. Here's one available locally. I think Even Ozito to a variation of this.

Accident free since yesterday
If he sets the blade to exactly the thickness of wood whats the problem mate..![]()
Very dangerous practice - he isn't wearing ear protection!
I've got these and they're great.
They are solid as a brick poo-house and adjust up to a decent work height, i'm 188 cms tall and most other saw horses are too low for me.
You can slap some 4x2's in the ends and make a very sturdy jobsite table, or even a party table like I make with mine on occassions.
Never argue with idiots, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
I use these Stanley ones:

Cheap, fold down nicely to very little space, and hold decent weight.
Yeah ive got the same ones.. pretty cool how they fold away..sturdy as well.
I have one of these. Thinking of getting another, would two of these be more useful than the work horses!

They are sort of what I have now..... I need something small and light, but big enough for putting tools on. Sturdy and stable for sawing and with good clamping. Durable and cheap. ....... Probably dreaming....
Does it need to be portable? What about a fold-down bench mounted to the wall?
I really like this sawhorse design. The interchangeable tops are a great idea to support different items and easily replaced if damaged (or sawn through... not that I've ever done that).

They look pretty good! Since I posted I have been looking around a lot and these seem to be the right thing for me. I can make a few different cross bars including a narrow table and they are going to be light enough. Thank you for passing that on OBBob.![]()
No worries. I saw them ages ago and skipped over thinking it seemed a complex solution to the problem. It wasn't until I watched the video that I realiSed the flexibility that the changeable tops provide.

Yes, that's what attracts me. When I do just about anything inside now I need a table to put tools and as a work base. This set up will allow me to make a small tray type top that I can put everything together. A nice project for me over our dark southern winter. I think I'll pay the man for plans.
Yep, worth it for the templates I think.
Went to a garage sale and got three more of these for fiver each. Have two in the shed with an old solid core door from a kitchen I renovated across. And two more that float around...
And.....your point is.....what exactly?
