Folding Sawhorse with Measuring Top Rail and Tool Shelf

This folding sawhorse is a support for timber, boards and other workpieces during cutting, carpentry and assembly jobs. Opened out, it stands on four legs and holds its red top rail at a comfortable working height. Set two side by side with a board across the rails and you have a temporary work table in the workshop, at home or on a building site.

Both leg frames are moulded in black plastic, with ribbing on their inner faces, and they are hinged together beneath the top rail. The rail itself is red, with a textured finish along its edges and a measuring scale on both sides, so material can be measured and marked quickly before a cut. Each leg ends in a red textured foot pad that the supplier describes as non-slip.

Four hooks stand out from the sides of the legs to hold working materials, and a shelf across the lower crossbars gives tools and accessories a place off the floor while you work. When the job is finished, the two frames fold together into a flat unit that is light to carry and takes little room in storage.

It suits DIY users who need a support now and then, as well as carpenters and builders setting up a cutting station on site. Buy a single sawhorse or a pack of two, three or four, depending on how many supports the job calls for.
