STANLEY FATMAX Telescopic Work Bench Saw Horse Twin Pack, Heavy Duty Multi-use Metal Adjustable Height, 1-92-980

These trelleses have been sublime, they have been abused, used weekly on every job and stood the test of time. I only replaced them after years of hard abuse and work when the top was eventually far too damaged through the saw cutting it to make them practical for use. I replaced these with the same again and I am pleased to say that the build, type of plastic used is exactly the same giving me confidence in the longevity of the product.

I am 6'4" and this extended by just 3" is level with my belt and it extends more than this. I extended to the maximum and had to lessen it because it was too high. More versatile than black and decker work bench. Each trestle is a bit heavier than others because of the metal legs. The weight of each is the same weight as my bar stool in the kitchen. I would prefer the legs to open a little more for stability but after testing it with a door on the them which needed adjusting, it's as sturdy as table in a woodshop. The rubber bits on the top stops wood from sliding and does this. The width plenty big enough for an internal door. I bought this because of my height to save the strain on my back and it exceeds all expectations on this score. I reckon a 6'6" person would not require it fully extended. I think this just about covers everything. Oh yes, before I bought this I saw reviews saying it had sharp metal edges. I spent some time looking for these edges and there are none. If I was going to whine about it, I would say the inability to join them together for storage gives them a bigger footprint, but they do perfectly the job I got them for so they get 5 stars. I am going to get a nice thibk piece of Pine wood to lay on it to make a perfect worktop.I can attach vices to and tile cutters along with other power tools. It's a very good bit of kit. Very versatile. .

Was looking at the keter sawhorses but couldn’t find any in stock so took a chance on these, good decision! Very sturdy and the height adjustment is a godsend. Only gave 4 stars as time will tell as to how the top bit (a type of plastic) holds up. Would recommend

One of best purchases

As you will see from the technical description these saw horses are sold in pairs. Mine arrived promptly and have already been put to use. Again, as you can see from the illustration, each has a deep groove running the full width of the top which not only makes a convenient steady if you are sawing tube or thin timber such as quadrant, but also holds screwdrivers and screws while you are working. The deep cut-outs at each end of the top enables you to use the pair as a support for thicker timber or even a door while you are planing its end. These saw horses are sturdy; the legs are made of rectangular-section metal tube with extendable legs that raise the top, incrementally, to considerably above the height of the more usual saw horses. The legs are constrained from opening too far by the folding plastic tray. Ignore comments about this tray being 'flimsy'. It is not; it is quite strong enough to keep the legs opened while in use and the fact that it is hinged means that the saw horse folds away neatly for transport and storage. I'm glad I bought this pair and I commend them to your use.

Bought these as I - after having had a few poor ones in the past - wanted a fairly robust pair of sawhorses for general DIY. These seem reasonably well put together and are solid / heavy enough not to start shifting around when working with lighter loads... and the telescopic legs are useful to have should you need to work on quite uneven surfaces. Despite the fact that they appear to be made up of a lot of plastic parts, their maximum supported weight is rated at ever a metric ton a pair. Yeah, I know... not entirely sure I believe that either... but I'm sure with sensible use, I doubt I'll ever need worry about these breaking any time soon.

Lightweight, but a bit fragile. I broke a bit of plastic off the top support using a clamp with it. Easy to position and the adjustable legs are easy to deploy (even if it is a coarse adjustment). The Apex between the legs opens to form a handy tray. Although to be honest it only catches sawdust etc. from above…

I love these. Two of the round edged 63mm x 38mm spruce timbers (e.g. ~£3 at B&Q) fit the slots perfectly. I have a board on top that I've screwed a circular saw to (plus switched extension lead) and a couple of bits of the timber on the bottom to centre between the others. This makes for a nice and easy garage worktable/table saw. The saw horses are strong and seem robust. Great value too. It is easy to move the whole setup from my garage to outside. Just what I wanted.
