There are some definite postitive features about these particular sawhorses, but as a contractor often on the move some drawbacks. The amount of weight the TS-501 sawhorses can handle is surely impressive, but the folding style legs leave an uneasy feeling with any substantial weight load. The legs never seem to open well all the way. The legs have a potential to fold with any shift of the weight. An accident like this occurred with me. I had set a significant amount of deck boards on the saw horses for the weekend and when I had returned the legs had buckled to the side, the boards were scattered and the opposite legs had broken through the manufactures stop. Fortunately nothing below was damamged and the boards remained in tact, but my saw horses are useless now.

This review is from: Fulton TS-501Tote-A-Horse Adjustable 25-Inch to 42-Inch Tall Sawhorse, Pair (Tools & Home Improvement)

After using the original TS-101 folding horses for a few years and always feeling they were just a little bit to low for my back, I recently decided to purchase a set of the TS-501 folding horses. The extra height the extendable legs provide definitely make it easier on my lower back, especially when working with a sheet of ¾" plywood or something similar by myself. Portability is always a big factor for me with any tool or piece of equipment due to the fact that my truck is already well beyond being full with other necessary tools and job materials. Traditional fixed saw horses are out of the question. These horses are quite rugged and take up very little room when folded.
As with other folding horses I have used, you have to be sure and preset the legs squarely on the surface below before use or they may have a tendency to spread unevenly and become unstable when you place a heavy object on them. I personally feel that an additional locking pin for the legs would be an excellent safety improvement. For some reason there doesn't seem to be much documentation or user instruction included with the horses and not much more available on Fulton's website.
I have found that mounting a 2 X 4 on the top of the horses stiffens and adds a good deal of stability as well as helping to preventing accidental contact of a saw blade with the metal top. The 2 X 4 also helps prevent slippage and scratches the surface of the material being worked with. The legs can only be folded back in for storage when set in the lowest position, which requires removing and reinstalling the four wing nuts and bolts used to secure the leg extensions. I also believe it is intended, from a safety standpoint, that the maximum load only be applied with the legs set in the lowest retracted position, but without any documentation from the manufacture, I can't confirm this.
I don't think I would feel comfortable using these horses as a work platform to stand on, but with an eight foot 2 X 12 plank placed across them and secured in place with a couple of "Quick Clamp" bar clamps, the horses do make a good, stable base to mount a miter saw to or for use as a temporary work bench. If you need job site portability and want to make things a little easier on your lower back when working, then within the limits of the design, the TS-501 should be a good choice.

Good heavy duty sawhorses, I have 4, and they are easy to fold up and store. Fairly quick and easy to adjust the height. The only negative thing is they will sink in to the ground if used outside and a lot of weight is put on them, need to support them with 1X material.
