Worx Isn’t (Jaw)horsing Around
The Worx Jawhorse deviates from a standard sawhorse with its clamping ability. When you need to hold your workpiece in place, but you also need both hands free, all you need to do is set your work material on the horse, snug the clamp up to the workpiece, and step on the lever. It locks the piece into place with up to one ton’s worth of clamping force.
The clamping jaws open up to 34-1/2″, and the working height stands at 33″. When the job is done, the Worx Jawhorse folds up for easy portability. At 35 lbs, it’s not light, but it’s much more stable than a standard sawhorse.
The Jawhorse really isn’t a new idea, and the new Worx model doesn’t deviate from the tried-and-true Rockwell design. The main differences boil down to a 160-pound lower capacity and 8 pounds less weight.
Pricing is what makes the Worx Jawhorse an attractive option. It’s $99.99 price tag is $50 less than Rockwell’s $150 regular price. Of course, that’s just one Jawhorse, so keep that in mind if you want a pair.
