![]() They’ve been great as material supports, and I am utterly pleased that they can do this wobble-free. I have not been using the sawhorses in “work table mode,” at least not outside of initial testing, as I simply haven’t needed to yet. The material support pegs have an 80-pound load rating, as opposed to 1300 pounds for the sawhorse’s main support surface (or 2600 lbs per pair), but that’s more than enough for a sheet of plywood or other sheet goods that I’d rather not put on the floor or lean against the garage. Somehow I missed this important detail when looking at the product details online. My eyes lit up when I realized what the fold-out material support pegs can do. If not, the legs could inadvertently bump into the sides of the sawhorse body. Similarly, when closing everything back up, you have to guide each pair of legs back into the sawhorse body. This isn’t a complaint, and I was actually pleased by this as it’s more controlled and safer in my opinion. This isn’t one of those “press a button and everything falls out” sawhorses. When opening the sawhorse, you need to support the weight of each pair of legs slightly in order to depress its locking tab. If you don’t like that idea, there’s another model (C550) with pivoting feet that isn’t height-adjustable. The downside is that overall height adjustments must be done to each of the 4 legs, but I’m okay with that tradeoff. I can also adjust each leg individually for height adjustments. Here, the C650 (and C700) both have pivoting feet that help to make up for uneven ground. Some sawhorses and portable work-supports offer leveling of two sides, but that doesn’t really help me and so I rarely bother. ![]() Forget about getting anything level, it’s a challenge to get work support accessories to make 4 points of contact with the ground. I like to set up sawhorses or worktables outside my garage when working outside, and I thought that wobbling was a fact of life. Ability to quickly assemble a jobsite table.Grippy top surface (although not for delicate materials).For those of you that own ToughBuilt sawhorses, do you agree with these points? I have used the sawhorses enough for an early impression. Here is what I thought I wanted or needed in this type of product: ![]() Here is a comparison chart, detailing the differences between ToughBuilt’s various sawhorse models: So, ToughBuilt sent me a pair of their C650 sawhorses.įor me, and how I anticipated I would use these sawhorses, I thought that the C650 would offer the best balance between size and functionality. I had been talking with ToughBuilt about the new scraper utility knife, and I not so subtly expressed my new curiosity in their sawhorses (as well as their knee pads, more on that separately). They are good sawhorses, more versatile than our Trojans and much sturdier than the plastic options.īut I will agree that their sawhorses are a great product. I purchased ToughBuilt Sawhorses at Home Depot about 4 1/2 years ago- they are still in stock there now (Colorado Springs). Their knee pads and the sawhorse are nice products in my opinion. As far as I know they are the original maker/seller of it. ![]() Their sawhorse table system which does require wood to make the table – is quite nice. The ToughBuilt sawhorses, even the SMALLEST sized ones, whup the DeWALT Jobsite Worktable, and saw horses ANY DAY. They’re incredibly well balanced, and have carry handles built in. I’ve lifted one in Home Depot to check to see if it’s too heavy a product to carry home, if I buy two. They make some of the best sawhorses on the market.
