TOUGHBUILT TOU-C700 Saw Horse/Adjustable Jobsite Table (Single)

I have used many sawhorses over many years. Cheap units that have a tendency to move, stationary units that occupy more room than necessary for storage. Heavy metal sawhorses that have teeth in them to clamp onto 2x4 studs used to form a beam on their top. These new sawhorses beat them all. They are stable, safe, and will last most likely a life time.Pros:Heavy and sturdy units, no fear of them slipping out from under their load.Easy to adjust and set up for use.Easily stows because of its folding down to size.Has very usable aspects to hold large sheets for cutting.Has adjustments to insert 2x4 wood studs when needed.Has large flat hinged feet to steady it during use.Has handle to move the item as needed.These are built to last and you may never need to replace them.Cons:Heavy for a person small in stature to handle.

I bought two of these to "finish" two butcher blocks (60" x 30" and 72" x 30") I purchased to build an L shaped desk. The tops have sandpaper like sections, which would be helpful if working with normal wood, but I covered them with towels to protect the butcher block. They were both a little work to get the legs to deploy, but I quickly got the hang of it. I thought they would just drop out when I pressed on a button, but it won't press with weight on, so you have to turn the whole unit to remove pressure or put upward pressure on the legs. Not a big deal, just not as easy as shown in the video (surprise surprise). They are very heavy and very sturdy. Raising and lowering the legs is very easy. All in all, I'm happy with the purchase and highly recommend them.

Like all woodworkers who don't yet have a true woodworkers bench, you have to start somewhere. Sawing on the floor is ok if you are 25 years old. I'm not. I have been using plastic saw horses from Stanley, which are really good for general purpose, for cutting plywood not so much. THEN I saw the Toughbuilt sawhorses. They were ONLY about 15 bucks more than the plastic Stanleys.AND WOW. I am so happy. These Toughbuilt have so many features and they are rock solid on the floor. The rubber protected swiveling feet are nonmarking and nonslip. The surface area is solid and it is a breeze to cut full sheets of plywood. You can make the work area as long as you want using 2x4 or 4x4 lumber as cross pieces. When loading a full sheet, just take out one crosspiece, lean the sheet against the outside of the sawhorses, get in the middle of the work area and lift up and over. Easy on the back, works great. I have not explored all the features yet, but I am very glad I got them and would buy again.

These sawhorses are VERY well put together. They are a bit heavy but they have to be in order to support the amount weight they are rated at - and I have NO DOUBT they will hold that amount of weight. One of the ones I got had the frame ever so slight bent but not enough to worry about. Having purchased these I wish I had just saved the money that I spent on some plastic ones a year or so ago and just bought these. The price was a little bit more than one of the major big box stores, BUT very few of that company's locations had them in stock - nor could they tell me how many they had or when they might get more in. It was worth the difference I paid to get them right away via PRIME and have them delivered.They are a bit heavy but they are relatively easy to move around because of the include handle and the way that the legs fold into the units and the way they work. There are a number of added features to this model that the other slightly cheaper ones from ToughBuilt don't have. Spend the few extra dollars and get these. I sure am glad I did!!!

This is an excellent product with a few quirks and low points.Pro/Con belowPro:-Solid, stable and well designed, Feet are solid and plant easily on any surface.-The ability to load a 4x8 sheet of plywood on edge facing the user on an angle for cutting/sanding on the leg pegs is brilliant-I like the end slots for the 2x4 or 4x4 lumber to extend the distance between the horses. I recently used that feature to paint a load of trim work-Extendable, foldable legs that allow for great versatility-Small footprint when totally folded upCon-The legs have to be closed in "proper order". I marked them with a Sharpie to know which leg to fold in first but ToughBuilt should do that from the factory. You can fold one set of legs in without having to shorten them down from the longest extended position but again, they are not marked and ToughBuilt does not tell the user about that feature-The legs can be a pain to deploy - watch your fingers as well, the folding legs can "bite".-At 23 pounds each, the 700's need a diet-Not sure how long the lightweight yellow plastic "carry straps" on the top of the horses will last. They are also annoying to get your fingers under when they are new. I can envision replacing them with leather straps down the road.Make up your own mind on the "pro/con" discussion. I still like these horses but they could be a lot better with a little thought from ToughBuilt. I saw a recent review in Fine Homebuilding that reviewed a lesser model of this product along with other competitors and I think FHB got it semi-right and also totally wrong. Google FHB Saw Horse Review to see if you agree (if they don't paywall you)These horses are strong, have a lot of pluses, a few unique features, some negatives but I like them. I bought a set for my son and he likes them as well. Hope that helps!
