Rockwell jawhorse

Post by rdewinter »

I have a Rockwell jawhorse and I like it very much. A real solid tool. You can find very creative ways to use this tool. Good investment.

I looked at the knock off from HD and I am pretty sure it is a rebranded Triton.
Much lighter built and has no roller which I find very handy for transporting to and around the job sight. You can use the rear leg as a handle and pull it around like a toy.;)

I got my Jawhorse 2 days ago. It is well built. I have used it a number of time. It is going to be great for holding logs as I carve on them. I may end up getting the log holding jaws. But I will try it with out them first. I am glad I got it.

I have played with a Jawhorse in the store a few times and was really impressed wit the design of it. One is definitely on my wish list but I have spent too much money on this horse business (and horses) to not feel guilty if I bought one now. :rolleyes:
Just thinking about all of the possible uses shouldn't a person really have at least two? :D

Two is a good number, but my wife says I have too many vices already.

I'm not sure if that would be a herd or a flock... Or maybe even a gaggle... :D
