After examining a Jawhorse at Lowes, I lost interest. The jaw slide was binding (apparently from scarified paint on the matching rail). When I touched the pedal with my foot it kicked me leaving a bruise on my shin. Some one had left the pedal depressed. When the pedal is depressed and the yellow switch is in the unlocked positioned, a slight touch on the pedal releases it with considerable force. Unsafe.

The jawhorse appears to be a "knockoff" or "improvement" depending on your view of the Triton "Super Jaws." If you google for "Stu's shed Jawhorse review" you can see a nice comparison between the two tools.

One review say's Chinese made, another Made in USA --can anyone tell me for sure which it is
1596048
The fault of China-made **** imports lies with the US company's specs for the product, and then the US company's quality control. Undoubtedly, it's a much greater chore to write the specs clearly enough and tight enough to eliminate "improvisation", and quality control has to be much more diligent than for US, Japan and western European-made products, but "swallow the greed and do the deed". Otherwise it's "garbage in = garbage out".

LOL. Nothing is foolproof. The Jawhorse instructions warn users how to avoid getting "kicked". You shouldn't have used the Jawhorse without knowing how.

According to the Stu's Shed review (which all of you should see) there is a smaller version of this sold in Australia. I am not sure if he was referring to the Triton product (Triton is in receivership now and does not make product) or another Rockwell product.The Jawhorse was designed by the same engineering group that made the Triton Super Jaw. Stu thinks that his is a better product and he loves his Super Jaws.

I don't think I'd put 600Lbs on the Jawhorse. That's a lot of weight. If you are doing something like engine repair, you need a stronger bench than a portable sawhorse style clamp.

"Knockoff" implies that's it's a lesser quality unit when, in this instance, it's anything but.

Difference is the quality of the jawhorse's construction. The K9000 is of better construction. I have both and had I know about the accessory for the K9000 that extends it's capacity to the 48" if needed I would have done that and you will have much less invested. One more suggestion if you have a Rockwell store in your area buy there long run it's a better deal.

I don`t know what the limit is but I have five in parallel.Each one is fed by two panels hooked in series rated at 280 watts each.Thats a total of 10 panels feeding 30 deep cycle marine batterys.All of which qualify for a 30% rebate off my federal incom taxes.Never. Never,Never apply solar panel power to these Tracer units befor you hook up your battery power to the controllers.I found out the hard and expensive way that the controller needs the battery power to regulate the current coming from the solar panels.No regulation equals high current from the solar panels and a burned out control unit..Good luck.

Then I Googled Positec. This is a Hong Kong company. Their tool stable includes the infamoous WORX line of yard tools sold on infomercials. I bought the SoniCrafter on the "solid" name of Rockwell. Now I find out, too late that the Rockwell of my Dad's time no longer exists. It is a very very sad day indeed.

To be truthful, I haven't counted them. Would assume the manufacturer would knowI do know this one sweet machine. I just ran a 12" wide hard maple board through mine, beautiful. With the old 3 blade models, it would of came out poorly, if it could cut more than a 64th at a pass. This is kick-ass tech, climb aboard

One of the "problems" with Amazon and almost any bicycle /tricycle part that is advertised for sale, that there are multiple independent Amazon vendors for the same manufacturer's products. Many of them don't do a great job of explaining critical technical details, such as, in this case, the diameter of the clamp. I think because, in many cases the vendors don't have the time to dig through each of the thousands of parts that they sell. And so they don't necessarily write identically worded titles and descriptions for the part that they are selling that is actually one of a family of identical parts except that they have a dimension difference. This is very common problem with many bike parts. It truth, this part comes in two sizes "Standard" and "Oversize" The "Standard" clamp fits 22-29 MM tubing. The "Oversize" clamp fits 27-35 MM tubing. It was on this particular accessory that I learned that lesson. What I do, is read each and every presentation of any cycling accessory and glean from them ultimately the manufacturer specifications. In some cases I will do a google search on the manufacturer, in thais case Minoura, from Japan. Then I will put together a search on Amazon based on the specific details of the part I need. Then it usually comes up. In your case, try a variety of similarly worded searches, and you will find one display of the product on Amazon that will have a pull down panel with "standard" and "oversize" as choices, so you can select the one you need.

Hard to say for sure. We placed an order last week and got a reply from Amazon that they're now out of stock, and yet, Amazon says they have 3 in stock. Uh huh.

I'm sorry. Checked all paperwork and instructions and I cannot find anything on load limits.

Linda: The target tips supplied are 150 grain and for good reason: I've taken 3 deer with this excellent crossbow so far and all with 145-150 grain broadheads. This is the most accurate and hard hitting weight to use for this crossbow. I've added weight to my 125 grain broadheads to make them a 145-150 grain broadhead and they will not fail you! Some say go lightweight (100-125 gr) for more speed but you are then only achieving about 6 to 8 feet per second faster but have less penetration. Also the heavier tip weights are much easier on the crossbow itself. Trust me, stick with 145-150 grains for these tip weights!

I was glad to see that the one I just received is the latest 400 ft-lbs model. I don't know why Amazon still lists it as the previous 300 ft-lbs model.

Amazon often is missing critical information like line capacity/size for fishing reels. Best to just surf over to the manufacturer website for quick answers. In this case: http://www.daiwa.com/reel/detail.aspx?id=636 (valid 7/15/15)

Not quite an answer but a further request.. has anyone ordered several of this item? I want to know if the manufacturer/ material would be consistent before thinking about using these as budget trainers. I'd rather take a hit in the wallet than introduce something that could splinter into a real problem.

Hey Daniel, that is kind of odd. When I purchased it I thinki remember seeing 300 on the reel as well. However the description and gear ratio is that of the 300 pro. This is something I would verify with amazon in order to insure you get the product you are intending to buy. Sorry I couldn't help :(

You won't break the jawhorse with a puny 300 lb log ;-). If you want to lift logs that high, it will hold them. You'll want the log/chainsaw accessory RK9101 and a second jawhorse on which to rest the other end if the logs are long. You could use a regular sawhorse, but it seems like a good excuse to buy JawHorses. This is the Best Tool Ever. Two of them would be twice as good.

This was a birthday gift for my son. I dont't believe his lifting reaches that limit, so not an issue for him. But, I see the conflicting info. I'd try a direct call to to manufacturer and ask for clarification, unless someone else knows. Can probably Google xmark fitness and get the phone #.

It has 7 but thats only on the frame of the machine but its built solid so i dont see any problem there. The problem is how they say lifetime warranty on the rods but doesn't include normal wear and tear use is what I have the issue with. I upgraded to 310lb and its not even close to that anymore. They want me to pay for a whole new powerstack rod system which cost about $325 half of what the machine cost. That is what I find ridiculous and no one mentioned that after the rods wear out the machine is pretty much useless unless you buy new rods. I hope this helps in making your decision. I recommend going with machine weights because those weights never wear out. Good luck. It has 7 but thats only on the frame of the machine but its built solid so i dont see any problem there.

I do not recall the maximum number, but I did read it somewhere in the information--perhaps after I had purchased, which could be inconvenient! I had one made for my granddaughter, Charlotte,
