We work in a compact outdoor workshop and depend on sawhorses for nearly every project. After building our own, we tried the Jawhorse and quickly became fans. Its combination of usability, compact footprint, and stable base makes it an essential addition to any shop, big or small.
At first glance it doesn’t resemble a traditional sawhorse—standing on three legs instead of four—but it performs just as solidly. The legs fold up easily for storage or transport, and the foot-activated pedal provides a convenient hands-free method to tighten and release the clamp.
The sliding clamp is the standout feature. We’ve used it to secure everything from 2x4s and 6x6s to skateboard decks. It functions like a built-in vise on a sawhorse and can hold doors and full sheets of plywood securely. That versatility greatly speeds up tasks that normally require multiple clamps or extra help.
Key features include:
- Over one ton of maximum clamping force, enabling secure holds on heavy and large materials
- All-steel construction for strength and rigidity to withstand demanding jobs
- A foot pedal lever that produces powerful, hands-free clamping
- A portable, folding design for compact storage and easy transport
- An integrated roller that makes moving the unit effortless
The Jawhorse offers a practical, space-saving solution for hobbyists and professionals alike. Its ability to serve as both a sawhorse and a vise reduces the need for multiple work supports and simplifies one-person projects.
