Ok, so out of the box these feel like thin metal. And they are. The hinge points swivel just fine and the locking point engages fine until you put a 2 x 4 in and try to lock the saw horse down - like you normally would try to lock a saw horse down... That's where the problems start.With a 2 x 4 in place - I had to fight to get the saw horses to fully lock.I kid you not - I was actually sitting on the ground, (this may be because I'm a girly man...) joking aside - I was sitting on my rear end on the ground - hands on one leg and feet on the other leg of the saw horse, pushing the legs apart - to get the saw horse to fully lock down with a 2 x 4 in place. One of the saw horse even bent a little because of how much force I had to exert while doing this.I do NOT recommend these saw horses.Not only were these very hard to get locked down - they are not sitting level on the ground.One foot of 4 feet is of the ground of each set - so I have 2 sets of wobbly saw horses... This isn't funny.

The metal is a bit thin, but still fairly stable. The overall height when using a 2x4 for the cross support is about an inch shorter than most saw horses. The leg spread is a little narrower than standard saw horses as well. Best use might be with 4ft 2x4 as a platform to cut sheets of plywood.

What a disappointment!My first disappointment was upon opening the outer box and discovering a “mummified” box inside. To say that the box was covered with copious amounts of tape would be an understatement. My initial reaction was that it must be a product return but it was not. After opening the second shipping box, I saw that there was no packing material or paper or bubble wrap to protect the surfaces. Hopefully, my first photo will show the dents and scuffing caused by the poor packaging, and the thin metal used with these sawhorse legs didn’t help. There goes the first star.My next disappointment was the discovery that it is impossible, yes, impossible to use “standard 2x lumber” with these legs, despite the claim in the first line of the online product information. My second photo shows clearly that the maximum opening between the leg bracket is slightly less than 1-1/4”, nowhere near the 1-1/2” required for standard 2x lumber. And if you’re thinking that the legs could be compressed to allow 2x lumber to fit, the support bracket will not be flat, resulting in an unsafe configuration. These sawhorse brackets need to be wider. There goes another star.The only way I can use these sawhorses is to bandsaw or plane 2x lumber to fit; a task that I do not want nor do I have the time to do. Based on my experience, I recommend that you keep shopping for another product.

These are something that I was missing for so long. They were very easy to set up with pre-cut 2x4's that I had. Great durability and very stable. They were also very easy to break down for storage. Made with great quality material that should last a lifetime. At this price point, they are a must.

OK...I'm not fond of particularly critical reviews, but - bottom line - these shouldn't be sold the way they're being designed and manufactured.First and foremost, the positive aspects...These are a classic approach to a set of folding sawhorse legs. They're very versatile, lightweight, and - when properly set up - they work exactly as intended. The hinges operate freely, and the overall size is spot-on for an easy work height. They've also included flip-out platforms on the side that could be useful for standing up sheet goods such as plywood or drywall. These are all great aspects.Now...they're constructed from stamped sheet metal measuring somewhere around 35 thousandths of an inch thick, including the black finish. This is on par with 22 gauge steel, which is substantially thinner than my kitchen sink. This keeps them lightweight, though the pliability of the steel isn't too confidence-inspiring for a weight rating of 425 pounds per sawhorse. They're not gusseted, boxed, or otherwise reinforced, either...from an engineer's perspective, these are likely to fail quite readily the moment that any one leg begins to buckle under a decent load.The largest problem is that they DO NOT accommodate standard 2x lumber. When the legs are fully locked-out, the jaws at top squeeze down to only 1.25" wide. This implies that you'll be squeezing a quarter of an inch into your 2x4 in order to set these up. I've tried, and it's not reasonably possible without buckling the hinges.They're also asking $90 for a set of 4, all of which don't work as intended.So...they are an overall good design, but 1) they're a bit lightweight to have no reinforcement to prevent buckling, 2) they don't accommodate standard US lumber sizes without cutting/modifying the jaws right out of the box or the lumber you're using, and 3) they're rather expensive for tools that don't work as intended.Sorry guys...but you've gotta get back to the drawing board on this product.

These are totally useless to me since I can't fit my 2x4 in the jaws of the sawhorse. I tried very hard to open the legs all the way. I even tried stepping on the hinge, but I felt like the metal was wanting to kink and bend. I had high expectations for these but have no idea how I might utilize them. Ughh!!
