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.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse
Customer Review: Just buy it
Summary: 5 Stars
When I buy something that works well, or something that works terrible, I try to post a review. This thing is great. I looked at them for better part of a year before buying. I finally got one about a month ago and I shouldn't have waited so long. One thing I very much liked is that it came fully assembled - remove a few pieces of protective packing, set it up and go. It does come with a video disc, which is mostly just scenes from the infomercial - but I hadn't seen it, so it was OK (surprisingly the infomercial doesn't exaggerate the capabilities - it can do what they say it can. I'm not so sure any of those actors know which end of a hammer to use, however).
I bought this at the same time as the Strong Hand portable welding tableStrong Hand Tools Welding Table, Model# TS3020 (see my review), which is great for clamping down weldments, and I also like very much, but I think the jawhorse may be more versatile for everyday tasks.
Between the two of them, they have displaced my faithful, old, and pretty tired workmate (400 I think). I'll still keep the workmate, but the jawhorse is now my favorite portable bench/tool. We'll see if it lasts as long.
It clamps really hard. Since you use your foot and the lever arm is the length of the unit, very little foot force is needed to clamp something up tight. I'm guessing it would probably bend if you stood on the clamping lever, but there is no need to clamp anything that tight - put just a small amount of weight on the footpedal and whatever's being clamped isn't going anywhere.
The Jawhorse got me out of a jam the very first day I owned it. I was able to clamp something down that I had been wrestling with for a couple days and it knocked the job right out. Then I used it to grab a small electric motor as I disassembled it. It grabs boards, metal and PVC pipe for cutoff with no sweat.
I put a big piece of 3/4 inch plywood in it - about 3 feet by 5 feet, and used it for a table as I reorganized my garage. I put about 250 lbs of stuff on the plywood - no problem. It could easily hold a cutoff saw or my benchtop bandsaw or drill press.
It folds up really quite small. It's a little heavy, and the rolling mechanism isn't its strong suit, but I would have no problem taking this anywhere and using it. If I were a contractor, I'd want something similar at my job site. I'm not positive it would hold up to everyday use, but it sure looks like it would.
I bought the welding clamp as well but haven't tried it yet - it's got aluminum jaw faces that replace the rubber, and an articulating arm which clamps to the moving jaw of the jawhorse. At the end of the arm is a large C- clamp, so its designed to hold a weldment in place as you are working on it.
If you're on the fence about this, go ahead and pull the trigger, I don't think you'll regret it.
Update: After six months I like it just as much as I did before. Don't worry about folks who say it has plastic parts - I've beaten this thing up, and it works just fine. I've used it for dozens of projects: Holding large pieces while painting them; Holding electrical conduit for measuring and cutoff; I held up some pallet rack ends vertically while I was setting them up; I've welded on it, drilled on it, routed on it, hammered on it, grinded and sawed on it.
I leave the welding clamp on it all the time - it comes in handy quite often, and can be located out of the way when not in use. I did leave the rubber clamp pads on and scorched one of them while using my cutoff torch. I also purchased the miter saw top - it's pretty expensive for what you get, but it's a nice surface to work on - I intended to use it with the miter saw, but haven't yet. I think I'm going to pick up a couple laminate sink cutouts and make a couple more specialized table tops for it.
The only operational negative I can give is minor, but it does only have three legs, so it can tip if you put too much weight out at a distance - I was cutting some 10 foot 2x10's and when I cut 4 feet off one end, then the rest of it tipped the Jawhorse. I see the reason they made it that way - it does sit steady on uneven surfaces.
The only other complaint is the price - I'd buy a couple more of them if they were a little cheaper.
