View larger. | Clever, Practical Design Makes Jobs Easier Whether you're an occasional do-it-yourselfer or a professional contractor, the Jawhorse will clamp virtually anything you can imagine. The Jawhorse's serious clamping power lets you accomplish tasks that normally require two people on your own.The strong and versatile Jawhorse can replace your workbenches, sawhorses, clamps, bench vises, and much more. You can use it to hold work materials in place as you tackle jobs like setting fence posts, hanging doors, installing crown moldings, and placing new sheetrock overhead. Even odd-shaped objects like engine blocks can fit neatly in the Jawhorse's grip. Apply up to 2,200 Pounds of Force--Hands Free The Jawhorse features a trademarked hands-free foot pedal that lets you apply up to one metric ton (2,200 pounds) of force, so you don't have to worry about materials slipping while you work. And the jaws can be opened up to 37-inches wide, which is enough to hold most doors securely in place. This gives you maximum flexibility on the job. The Jawhorse also eliminates the need for individual saw stands and complicated vices. A variety of different saws can be locked into the sturdy jaws on this station, allowing you to make precise cuts quickly and safely--no awkward balancing of large boards or one-handed saw operation required. Patented rubber pads help keep you from denting or scratching wood the way you might using traditional vice clamps, making the Jawhorse ideal for finish work. Durable, Dependable, and Easy to Transport or Store The Jawhorse features solid all-steel construction along with an extra-wide stance, providing exceptional strength and stability in a wide variety of conditions. There are no moving plastic parts to break. And with a unique, three-legged design, the Jawhorse is easier to balance on uneven terrain than traditional four-legged sawhorses and mobile workbenches. The Jawhorse is incredibly simple to use. You just set it up, lock it in place, and clamp your project materials or tools down. This quick and easy setup makes the Jawhorse ideal for use on remote worksites and for people who don't have the space in their busy home or apartment for a permanent workbench. When not in use, the workstation folds down to a compact 29x14x13 inches for easy transport or storage in a small closet. And weighing in at just 43 pounds, it is easy to lift in and out of work rigs. When unfolded, an integrated roller makes it incredibly easy to move around the workshop or the jobsite. There are holes in two of the three feet so that you can choose to bolt the Jawhorse down for frequent use in your workshop or on big job sites that require more permanence. Available Accessories Provide Even Greater Versatility Versatile accessories (sold separately) let you customize the Jawhorse to better meet your individual needs. You can use the Welding jaw to set up a full welding station. The Chainsaw jaw makes it easy to lock saws in place for sharpening, and Saddlebags let you keep all your tools neatly organized and within arms reach. You can also use the Plywood jaw to adapt the Jawhorse for large sheet goods up to 52-inches wide, or set up the Jawhorse as a reliable Miter Saw Station or a more permanent Work Table.

Great tool, bought 3 November 20, 2009 R. Westbrook (Northern California) I bought one of these with the attachment for logs. Really liked it so I bought 2 more for my sons who are project oriented.
Will not hold exterior door as pictured. November 19, 2009 R. Nakama (Honolulu, Hawaii, USA) I bought the Jawhorse specifically to hang exterior doors. Pictured in their literature, is the Jawhorse holding a door in a position to to screw the door hinges into the frame. The Jawhorse will not hold a exterior door in the pictured position. The exterior door is just too heavy. The Literature did not specify whether the door pictured, was a interior or exterior door. I found out the hard way, it obviously was a interior door, which is much lighter. Also beware of losing those little springs. They fell off as soon as I pulled the Jawhorse out of the box it was shipped in.
This thing Rocks! November 15, 2009 J. Hanna I gave this to my husband for Christmas last year. He has used it for everything! I even walked out in the garage to find an old door it in which he was using as a table. Truely versatile!! Also, I loved the fact that it had him stumped for weeks as it wrapped under the tree.
Jawhorse November 11, 2009 R. Biehler (Santa Rosa, CA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Jawhorse arrived and was deeply scratched in two places. This scratches were not do to shipping. I called the service center and was told that they do not have touchup paint. This item is not serviced by Rockwell. The only suggestion from the service center was to return it. There are many plastic parts, some moving, contrary to the advertising. The manufacturing (Chinese) was poor quality. The design seems okay but I was very disappointed with the product.
Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse.....a Workhorse!!! November 6, 2009 Ronnie M. Miller (Pine Bluff, AR) While the Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse and attachments available won't win the awards for the cheapest priced versions of such equipment on the market, I like the construction techniques used for them and the flexibility that they offer. Initially I too was slightly mislead by the claim of "all metal construction" and found several plastic pieces used in the construction of the Jawhorse upon arrival, but figured that I'd save my comments for later on after having some experience with the Jawhorse. Thus far, the Jawhorse has definitely lived up to my expectations I had for it, and the uses it can provide are basically limited by your imagination. And, my concerns about the plastic components on the Jawhorse were calmed down significantly when I read a reply in this commentary section from one of the Jawhorse designers who explained what types of plastics were used and why plastic was chosen for the few specific items that are indeed of plastic construction (yep, Rockwell is following the feedback here!).
Another attachment that might be of use for Rockwell to consider to develop to add to the accessory line would be a jackscrew lifting and supporting system which could be stabilized with the Jawhorse. Think about those times where you are needing to lift and hold a heavy item such as mounting overhead cabinets, putting newer televisions on wall mounts, or numerous other times where you need to both lift a relatively heavy item and stabilize it long enough to attach it permanently (or semi-permanently) and you just don't have enough hands or strength to maintain your elevated position, support the heavy object, and attach the object where it is going to be mounted at all at one time (and sometimes a second person will only get in the way of the attempt). The jackscrew support system would allow you to slowly lift the item into position, while the Jawhorse provides the stability to keep things from toppling, and then your hands are free long enough to make the attachment with nails, screws, bolts, or whatever hardware is needed to fix the heavy object where it's going......and in the case of a TV set positioned high on a wall mount, the same jackscrew system could be used to lower the set at a later date if it needs to come down for maintenance purposes. Yes, such an attachment would be a specialty item, but I can quickly thing of several times I could have dearly used such an adjustable vertical support system with the stability provided of the Jawhorse.
