Yes I do. And in all due humility, for $15 a pair in materials, they surpass any I've ever seen available at any cost. I'd never shell out cash for commercial sawhorses ever again.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |

Same here and I don't store them outside. Have lasted several years. I don't use them daily as a contractor might so that could make a difference if you use them a lot.
Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.

I bought these around 20 years ago and am still using them. Have used them in remodels of several houses, they’ve held up fine. |

| I like this style. Each folding work stand is rated for 750 pounds. Replace the padding as needed. Buy 4 at a time. Hang on long arm storage hooks.

| What brand did you buy? I have four Husky brand from Home Depot that I bought around 15 years ago that are all still going strong. I don't know if the quality has declined since I bought mine (most 15-20 years old) but all of my Husky brand tools have been great to me. The only one I have had a problem with is a 1/4" ratchet that HD replaced for free.

| A lot depends on the usage of the saw horses. I have 3 sets of the galvanized, and they work great for many cases, and they're very portable, however, they're relatively short. I also have several sets that I've built myself. Usually, I'll make mine around 4' long when building them. They're capable of holding a lot more material, and you can also set up a metal brake on one side, while having the other side to work off of as well. Downside is storage, and mobility.
If I build a set, I try to use pressure treated lumber, unless you just have to have a set on site and untreated lumber is all that's available. |
