I met these horses when some hotshot framers from oregon showed up at the jobsite with a whole bunch of attitude and some fancy tools. Besides the titanium hammers, these were my favorite gadgets of theirs. These horses, once properly set up, will hold ANYTHING. We stacked forty 2X8X18s on them and started cutting them for rafters. Occasionally, two or more carpenters also climbed on top to nail above and these horses didn't groan. The rafters had steel c-channel sistered on them, and once the wood was up, we stacked almost a ton of steel on the horses and started working on them. They never gave any sign of stress. Any length 2X can be installed as the top, giving the opportunity to make a wider set of horses if need be, but the drawback is that once set up, they don't fold for transport, you have to break them down first. Made strong and simple, great for framers and siding guys.

Our remodeling company recently bought a set of these saw horse legs because they're easy to transport, fast to set up (no nails or screws are needed), can be made as long or short as needed, and are super strong. Most of us are tall, so we used 2x6s for the cross bars to give us a more comfortable working height than typical horses offer. We like to use 52 inch long 2x6s for the cross bars to give us a little extra support beyond the 49 inch width of MDF sheets.

Here's an example of how strong these saw horses are. We took two saw horses and covered them with a row of 4 foot long TJI scraps laid flat. On top of the TJIs we laid a 4 foot by 4 foot piece of ¾ inch OSB. That made a table about the same height as the back of a flat bed delivery truck. The truck was going to deliver 36 bags of concrete, each weighing 90 pounds. When the truck arrived, we had it drive up to the table. One carpenter stood on top of the table while another one stood on the truck and handed the bags over to get stacked on the table. The combined weight of the concrete and carpenter ended up being about 3,420 pounds! The saw horses held up very well although we did take care not to rock the table too much with all that weight on it. We also made sure to set the saw horses up on level ground before loading them.

These saw horses are so strong and convenient to set up that we'll probably buy more in the future. An added benefit is that they're made in the US, so we can be sure that the makers are getting paid a fair wage.

I'd recommend these saw horses to all construction workers who want multiple super strong saw horses that are easy to move from site to site, fast to set up, and are standardized in size. They should pay for themselves in several months to a year depending on how often they're used and abused.

For years I have made my own saw horses and have tried many, many retail versions, but fortunately while working with another contractor, I discovered these. I now own two sets and these are certainly the simplist and the best saw horses I have ever used.

They come assembled and are "scissor-action" where all you have to do is open one onto one end of a 2x4 and another onto the other end. If you clamp one pair slightly less far apart than the other pair, when not in use, the two horse can be moved next to each other to take the place of only one saw horse. When the connecting 2x4 gets cut up from use, simply replace it with new one and your back in business.

They are very, very solid, stable, and although expensive, certainly worth it. I'm writing this review while buying my third pair (and the other remain in excellent condition).

I bought these because my dad has had a set very similar to these for over 30 years. Same concept, but I don't think they are Trojans. These things set up and tear down very quickly and as I've got the 35" legs, they are a perfect height(no more lower back pain from cutting). My only problem with them is the fact that the nuts and bolts that hold them together get loose and you have to tighten them every so often. Other than that, they will last for my lifetime, and I will pass them on to my kin.

Seems funny to get excited about sawhorses, but I bought my first set of these horses over 5 years ago and fell in love right away.

I got them because they looked compact to store in my already crowded truck. Turned out they were, but they're also really strong, lightweight, and fast to set up. They beat any other sawhorses I'd used hands down.

You can make them whatever length you want by using any hunk of 2X, which comes in handy on different jobs. I ended up buying a set for each of my crews and now they are just a standard at every jobsite we're on. Everybody thinks they're great.

I've gone through those plastic horses in a couple months, built wood ones that took up too much space, and used all kinds of others that wobble or just don't hold up. These are the best. I don't know if they'll ever wear out.

If you want to save time and have a tool you can count on, get 'em. You won't be disappointed. I haven't been.

These are the ticket if you're interested working efficiently. They set up in seconds (not minutes, and not half the morning like I see some "carpenters" doing on job sites when they build them). They are rock solid. They are portable - fold 'em up and take them to the next job. And, most importantly to me, they make it a breeze to set up a good workstation. I'd give them 5 stars if they came with some sort of rubber footpads to prevent scratching finished floors.

I had been hesitating to get these saw horses mostly on account of the price. My regret is that I sank about $30.00 on a home made set that got deformed in the truck. Now I have sturdy, versatile, mobile first rate saw horses.

They work just fine and fold up nicely for storage. Good enough.

There have been a few instance when all four legs of a saw horse didn't touch the ground at the same time. No big deal. A little weight fixed the problem. Just like any other saw horse.

Regardless, what I really like about these saw horse legs is how easily I can set them up and tear them down. I don't need them every weekend, but when I need them I really need them. Oh yeah, these ones are sturdy too.

The Trojans TWC-35 portable sawhorse legs are some of the best I have ever used. They are sturdy and quickly set up to give a firm work platform that resists shifting when sliding a 3/4" sheet of plywood on top during one man operations. Due to the way they utilize standard lumber cross pieces, they are perfect for setting up a plywood cutting table/jig that will end your worries about cutting into your sawhorse or ruining a blade. (see photo) Frankly "busting up" sheets of plywood has never been easier. They are very stable and would be excellent in any operation that requires sawhorses. Also these versatile legs fold up for compact storage. Although a little costly, with care they will last you forever and are covered by a lifetime guarantee from the manufacturer.

I do trim work and home repair as a side job. Because of that I need to be very portable with all of my tools and setup. These horses are great for quick setup and take down. I have used other portable sawhorses in the past but none even approach the strength and quality of these. I foresee using these for many, many years. I have bought my last set of sawhorses.
