Tool Stand Reviews & Buying Guides

We review tool stands, sawhorses, jawhorses, and vises to give you a wide variety of options for holding onto and supporting materials while working. We cover the best miter saw stands and clamp stands. We talk about and review various saw horses across the industry. That includes homemade models as well as major tools from the likes of DeWalt, Bora, Toughbuilt, and others. A solid tool stand helps you quickly get to work cutting, fastening, or gluing up materials. On the jobsite you want something stable but portable. In the shop, you often need something flexible but sturdy. Replaceable tops, multifunctionality, and perforated tops give you lots of flexibility. Innovative products like Stak Racks even give you cool options for painting doors, cabinets, and trim.

Rockwell JawStand Clamp Stand Preview

by Clint DeBoer

Whether it’s hanging a door or setting drywall into place overhead, there are a number of instances where it would simply be nice to have a friend to help out… or maybe just have a more versatile clamping system – one that doesn’t take coffee breaks and never drops stuff. The “new” Rockwell JawStand seems to fit that bill nicely, and it does it in a lean and mean package. We put ‘new’ in quotes because this tool has been out before from a company called Triton (MSA200) and is now appearing under the Rockwell name – something that, if it increases availability and distribution, can only be a good thing for consumers. Rock on, Rockwell.

Ryobi Miter Saw Stand Preview

by Clint DeBoer

A miter saw stand will greatly improve both the usability and the capability of your saw. The Ryobi Miter Saw stand, pithily dubbed the Quickstand (model #A18MS01), is one of the more inexpensive and yet functional products you’ll find on the market. The miter saw stand has 400 lbs. of holding capacity, so it’s equipped to not only hold a large miter saws, it can support the saw while also provided enough strength of nearly any type of material you’re likely to cut. The stand is made of steel, and it folds up and down so you can tuck it away when not in use, plus this makes taking it to the jobsite all the more easy.
