5.0 out of 5 stars So stable, my guys are going to get me in trouble with OSHA, May 2, 2005

These saw horses are of scaffolding quality, that is why my guys are going to get me in trouble with OSHA. They continue to use them as scaffolding by laying 2x stock on them to walk on.

I see them scrambling when I arrive at the job site.

All nonsense aside, these horses are quick to set up, super sturdy and do not wiggle. Even though they are sturdy, they still adapt to uneven ground (within reason). The only thing that could be improved is the sharp edges at the bottom (2 minutes with a piece of sand paper) and the total weight of the things, they are surprizingly heavy, but I guess that is a good thing.

I was just going to order another set (for more scaffolding) but I noticed the price went up by $15! what gives?

Still overall this will be a purchase you are not going to regret.

5.0 out of 5 stars First-rate product: strong, stable, and wobble-free, September 20, 2007

StableMate SH4236-2

Cons:

- Each horse weighs 20 lbs., due to the heavy-duty frame.

- Outer edges of the lower metal ridge were a bit sharp, so I sanded each edge smooth. Took about 2 minutes.

- Four rivets on the bottom of each horse end poked up about 1/4", and could catch on things like your clothes. I flattened them to about 1/16" thick with a ball-pien hammer against an anvil. (See customer images.) Took about 5 minutes.

Pros:

- For transport or storage, each leg has a spring-loaded pin which can be quickly unlocked and folded into a cavity in the horse bottom and locked in the closed position. Takes under a minute to open or close both horses. The legs don't pop out when you carry them.

- Legs unfold easily and lock into place so they stay put. Engineering on this product is precise. E.g., the pin-to-frame-hole clearance is virtually zero, so you might have to giggle a leg to get it to lock.

- There is NO side-to-side or front-to-back wobble. I weigh 270 lbs., and the horse won't move when I try.

- 500 lb. capacity for each horse. I sat on top of one of them and it didn't budge or creak.

- The horses are sufficiently strong to use as a scaffolding base, although Fulton says not to (no doubt for liability reasons). This is probably my 10th set of horses, and these are the only ones so far, that are strong and safe enough for that purpose. With no fear of a horse collapsing, they can also be used to store heavy materials, or as a temporary stand for an expensive tool.

- At 36" high, not counting the 2 x 6, these are great if you're tall. They are also wide, at 42".

- Each leg has a large nylon slip-resistant foot angled to lay flat. It won't scratch hardwood floors, and the horse is less likely to sink in soft surfaces.

- Steel is 16 gauge (which is thick for this type of tool) and heavily zinc galvanized for rust prevention. (However, don't leave them in the rain.)

Other:

- A 2 x 6 on the top of each horse adds weight, but now a circular saw blade won't hit the horse frame. Clamp things to that board, and with a large hook in the end of each 2 x 6, they hang up.

- The horses are much easier to carry with a strong handle screwed to the side of each 2 x 6.

Summary:

A rock-solid, very strong, stable horse. Absolutely a 5-star product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact and no more wobble!, August 19, 2006

After years of struggling with the best portable sawhorses I could find at the big orange stores I picked up a pair of these. Each leg securely locks to the frame by means of a spring loaded pin. On arrival two pins did not engage thanks to rough handling in shipment but this was quickly fixed with a round file. The legs unfolded easily and the secure click once open is a great thing. No wobble, very stable. They stand 34 ½ inches tall before whatever top lumber you choose to add so this means less bending over all day. Once folded, rivets do protrude on the bottom of the unit but they did not seem to have excessively sharp edges. The last two legs to fold in for storage also securely lock into place keeping the unit well compacted. They could probably use a collapsible handle on the side. All in all a sturdy, portable tool for the jobsite.
