Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse
Customer Review: The JAWHORSE is Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw an ad for the Jawhorse on TV, and thought I'd try it since I do quite a lot of woodworking and often have to call my wife to hold the piece while I cut. The Jawhorse has eliminated needing assistance! It truly is a second set of hands and arms. The unit is extremely well built, rock-steady stable, and flexible in it's ability to hold odd sized pieces of work. In just the couple of weeks I've owned it, the Jawhorse has been used extensively to the point that I haven't had to bother my wife to help me, nor have I had to invite her into my 'man cave' while I'm working.
I have talked up the Jawhorse to all my friends, several of whom bought one, and I even 'sold' one to a lady at the recycling center who saw the cardboard packing and asked me if she thought her husband might like one...
Thanks, Rockwell, for a superb product!
Customer Review: Great item! It it's like having a second set of hands...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great item. And like the commercial says, it is like having a second set of hands. I've used it to cut small to average size pieces of wood, to clamp together and bound 10ft pieces of PVC, etc. It's got great clamping motion and seems like a solid piece of equipment. The only drawbacks for me are that you have to tip it completely over to collapse it (unless I just haven't read the instructions thoroughly enough). And because of the three legs, tipping it over is a little awkward. My solution has been to keep it set up as much as possible. And while it does have a roller mechanism that lets you roll it to move it, if you have to move it over rough or uneven terrain you have to carry it. At 45 pounds it's a little heavy for me. I also bought the plywood extender. I haven't used it yet, but am looking forward to doing so.Customer Review: Very satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars
The Pros: My Jawhorse arrived one day earlier that had been estimated.
No shipping charge (I took advantage of the free Super Saver shipping).
I saved $30.00 by using the Amazon VISA.
This device is as advertised. It's sturdy, heavy (a definite plus, IMO), yet portable and collapsible, simple to use. I thought that the working height might be a bit low for me (I'm 6'1") but it's fine. You could bolt it to wooden block risers if you had to. I'll be using this for loads of projects around our house and in the garage.
Can't think of any cons at this early stage other than I wish I had bought the "log jaws" that can be used to clamp a chain saw for sharpening. Next time.
Customer Review: your second set of hands
Summary: 5 Stars
Doing any work around the home or yard is difficult when you are alone and need a second set of hands. NOT ANYMORE! There are 101 uses for this Jawhorse but the most handy for me has been making an instant work table that is stable and sturdy.Clamp on a board and put the mower up to your level for changing oil,clean, change blade etc.Or clamping in the table saw or mitre saw without having to set up multiple stands. The clamping power is great and makes painting a breeze. I recomend watching the video on this tool. On the negative side its heavy but nothing you can do about that. With the jawhorse and a pair of sawhorses you can have a professional work area and an extra set of hands. I want a second one.One as A portable sturdy work bench and one for holding things.Customer Review: Outstanding piece of equipment 5 Stars
I purchased this Rockwell Jawhorse from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Fast delivery and set it up in 2 minutes. Comes completely assembled. Never had a piece of equipment before that was a fold up piece and yet so amazingly sturdy. Used it the first day I received it and have more projects that it will be used on. This is a perfect unit for tradesmen in the field as it folds up very compactly and is easy to carry and place on a back floor or seat of most any kind of vehicle. It does everything the manufacturer says it does and more. I use a lot of jigs in my woodworking and this Jawhorse adds to their effectiveness. Really LIKE this thing.Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse
