  • Not worth the trouble Seems easy right? Well just cut some 2x's slide them into place a couple of screws and you have a saw horseWRONG!! you'll spend a lot of time shaving down the 2x's so they will fit then just when you thought you had it licked they break A great idea but a bad product save your money.
    sawhorse bracket quality The material used to make the bracket is 'inflexable' and breaks readily under any pressure. I was able to 'patch' the broken sections with specual glue and screws. If I had known what they would be like I wouldn't have purchaed them.

    Burro Brands AMK2 Knock Sawhorse One Tough Little Burro

  • Easy to use carry handle
  • Easy to store and transport in the the truck bed or trunk
  • 4 piece interlocking patented design
  • Load failure at 6,500 Lbs
  • Great for DIY or professionals

  • One Tough Little Burro As a contractor I appreciate tools that are versatile and represent good value for the money spent. This knockdown sawhorse is a great example of that kind of tool. Nothing fancy here just a strong and honest sawhorse. Could you make your own sawhorse out of scrap lumber? Of course you could and maybe it would even handle loads like this one. Time is worth something too though and at less than twentyfive bucks as of this writing this sawhorse costs a whole lot less than the time I'd spend and money for materials to make something equivalent.What I like* Good Quality Mind you this is not fine furniture but the cuts are clean and the edges sanded. The plywood appears to be cabinetgrade material clean and sanded on both sides and about 5/8 thick.
    Burro Sawhorse The saw horses I received did not fit together.They would have been unusable had I not been able to modify them so that they did fit.The cartons had been opened before and I suppose that someone had returned them because of the fit.Once I got them to fit they work as described.It was easier to modify then that the hassle of returning them.Had I bought them from a local
    Tough little buggers These babies are great. They are very robust when set up but knock down small to stow away in my pickup bed without taking too much space. I do Habitat for Humanity work so portability is a key feature.The plywood is very high quality. There is a one inch hole through each piece to thread a carrying strap through To make them solidyly tied together for storage I use a set of threaded bakelite knobs one male one female through the hole so I can tighten the knobs and clamp the 4 pieces into a solid slab that is easy to stow.
    This mule kicks ass.. Amazon did a great job getting this saw horse to me very fast. The product is absolutely old school cool and it is tough as nails. I am very happy with the Burro and all my pals are envious.

    2x4basics 90196 ProBrackets Sawhorse Black Are these Chinese?

    2x4basics 90196 ProBrackets Sawhorse, Black - 2 Pack
    2x4basics 90196 ProBrackets Sawhorse, Black - 2 Pack Read more...

  • Includes 4 brackets and 8 stabilizing-feet to make 2 sawhorses; lumber not included
  • 2 levels for double capacity
  • You make it any size; just add 2 by 4's (not included) to make strong and stable sawhorses up to 8-Feet long and 4-Feet high; you are no longer limited to a standard size sawhorse
  • Assembly with only a screwdriver; all hardware is included

  • Are these Chinese? Seriously 2x4s did not fit in them. The demensions must be wrong. If treated lumber is bigger then my bad. I sanded the 2x4s down and pounded and pounded with a rubber mallet. It must have taken 2 hours.But when done saw horse is super solid.For a bunch plastic it seems this product should be priced around $10.
    Sawhorse brackets I received this product in a timely manner. I purchased the required 2x4 lumber to build them. I made them extra long and extra tall. It comes as a set to make two saw horses.Great product. Easy to build. I think it took me 30 minutes to cut the lumber and built the horses. I would recommend this product.
    Very nice product I always have various projects going on around my house and now I can finally get off the ground with my miter saw and table saw. Being able to quickly change the height and width of these sawhorses is an attractive feature but I don't think its something I'll need very often. Even with purchasing the 2x4's you'll still be way under the cost of another set of sawhorses. The two boards between the legs can pop out and they stack to store fairly well.I like these sawhorses this company makes a work bench kit that I am looking forward to picking up in the spring.
    Actually less than one star First it was necessary to trim the excess plastic from the product. Then you see the sockets for the 2x4's do not have straight sides necessitating trying to correct by filing. Finally it became necessary to actually cut the 2X4's smaller so they'd fit. To top it all off the end product is as wobbly as a newborn fawn. Lesson learnednext time I buy elsewhere.
    Great Item This is the 2nd set of these that I have purchased. Allows you to build sawhorses to the dimension that works best for you andthey handle the heavy stuff.
    Great ideacheap plastic As a contractor I purchased these to use on the job site thought the idea was great. I needed a set of saw horses that were mobile and easy to store yet able to withstand the rigors of daily use and not as heavy as my steel ones. The idea of being able to change the width of the horses by simply cutting different lengths of 2x4's appealed to me as well. That is where my approval ends. 2 of the brackets broke while trying to put them together. When trying to get the 2x4 into the slot for one of the legs the side broke where the leg fits into the bracket. I realize that not all lumber is exact in dimension but that does not say much to have 2 brackets break from 1 set. It's plastic just know that and not very good plastic either.
    Awesome Product Used these to make sawhorse legs for a door thus making a large taller work table. Went together easily if you pay attention to the directionality of the feet!.
    saw horses for dummies These make building saw horses a snap. The kit comes with all applicable hardware you just provide the 2x4s. If the wood wears out simply cut new straight pieces of 2x4s and reuse the brackets. The angled feet allow the saw horse to sit flush on the ground. While these are plastic they are decently heavy duty and seem like they will hold up. My only complaint here would be the price. As of this writing amazon has this for over $30 dollars. Are they worth this much? I think a fair price would be something around $15 dollars. I'll admit they are easy to use however building a saw horse is not that complicated.
    junk Thought these would be fast and easy. They took longer to put together than building my owen. Needed a hand held planer to make 2x4 fit and still broke one trying to get it together.
    Strong and Inexpensive Clever system I made these into a pair of 36 31 tall sawhorses using four kilndried 2 x 4 x 8' studs from HD So less than $10 in lumber plus the cost of the kit added up to a great value. If all of the legs are equal in length if they're all driven 'home' into the plastic gussets easiest with a rubber mallet if you drive the kitprovided 3 screws through the legs and into the top crosspiece as per the directions you'll get a steady and strong pair of sawhorses from just 12 sawcuts aznd about 15 minutes with a screw gun. These could support 400 lbs or more each. Also may make a great quick cheap base for a work bench.

    Storehorse 10015 6 36 Inch Sawhorse Protector Very Handy

    Storehorse 10015-6 XT 36-Inch Tall Sawhorse with Top Protector
    Storehorse 10015-6 XT 36-Inch Tall Sawhorse with Top Protector Read more...

  • Holds up to 800 pounds for optimal support
  • Weighs only 13 pounds for easy transport. One (1) Sawhorse included
  • Folds flat for convenient storage
  • Aluminum reinforced legs for maximum stability
  • Extra tall 36-inch working height for less back strain

  • MADE IN USA Not only do I like these saw horses for their quality light weight and ease of operation but they are made in the USA.
    Buyer Beware!! Please be sure that you check the quantity before purchasing this over priced SINGLE sawhorse! Who would buy one sawhorse for $39 and not have another to go along with it? This was shipped back because of the misleading description that talks about a SET of sawhorses. Also I purchased this when it was a lightning deal and you are unable to buy more than one at a time. This is not a good deal.
    Great for taller users I have a pair of these I bought at a local farm supply store Farm and Fleet. They were Duracraft branded but I'm pretty sure these are the exact same items. i'm absolutely in love with them. At 6'9 bending over to use shorter sawhorses was literally a pain in my back. I've always made my own out of 2x4's but they were heavy and didn't fold up allowing me to take them with me very far. My only gripe is the price. over $80 for a pair hurts.
    Good sawhorses I was in need of sturdy lightweight foldable sawhorses and these fit the bill. I like the storage underneath for my screws & nails and appreciate the increased height on these. A little unsure if the caps will stay put but since I only use these occasionally it shouldn't be a problem.
    Good product Lousy packaging The first was shipped in a box and received in perfect condition. The second was shipped in a plastic bag arrived broken. Replacement for the second was shipped in plastic bag also received broken. I'm very disappointed that I've had to go to another company to obtain a replacement item. It's taken me over three weeks trying to get an unbroken item and I'm still one short. I don't know why they decided that shipping in plastic bags was the way to go. Although I have always had good service on everything else I've ordered through Amazon I am very disappointed with this transaction.
    DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT FROM AMAZON Don't buy this product from Amazon. They shipped it in a plastic bag! No box or padding to protect the sawhorse. It arrived cracked and borken. It was obvious the package took a big beating during shipping. It took me 30 minutes and a half a roll of duct tape to pack it up for return. The sawhorse itself is solid and well made but way too expensive for just one horse.
    Storehorse Storehorse XL series saw horses are the best on the market. The XLT brings your work up to a more comfortable level for some jobs but at times seems to be a bit too high. If you are tall or want a counterheight work surface the XLT is the perfect product.My only complaint is the ability to receive the product without it being broken during shipping. It is currently being shipped in a plastic bag instead of being wrapped in cardboard. Amazon does have an excellent exchange policy though.
    Storehouse sawhorse The sawhorse seems fairly strong and folds easily for storage. The only drawback that I have is that the protective strip on the top doesn't stay on that good. other thatn that it well worth the money.
    Very Handy I have a set of these saw horses and find them very handy. They are super light weight and easy to set up. I kept a hollow core closet door so I can setup a decent work area in a couple of minutes.
    Steady sturdy and strong I've owned a these sawhorses for at least eight years. They've been used in countless projects and despite being weathered speckled from painting and having the yellow plastic top sliced by some idiot with a circular saw are still going strong. I don't hesitate to recommend themjust about every homeowner needs a set of sawhorses sooner or later.
