Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse When you have a job to do that requires a second set of hands, you can turn to the Rockwell Jawhorse portable workstation clamping system. Whether you’re sheetrocking, setting fence posts, or constructing an outdoor playhouse for your children, this unique hands-free portable workstation will help you get the job done.

Rockwell RK9000 JawhorseClever, Practical Design Makes Jobs Easier
Whether you’re an occasional do-it-yourselfer or a professional contractor, the Jawhorse will clamp virtually anything you can imagine. The Jawhorse’s serious clamping power lets you accomplish tasks that normally require two people on your own.

The strong and versatile Jawhorse can replace your workbenches, sawhorses, clamps, bench vises, and much more. You can use it to hold work materials in place as you tackle jobs like setting fence posts, hanging doors, installing crown moldings, and placing new sheetrock overhead. Even odd-shaped objects like engine blocks can fit neatly in the Jawhorse’s grip.

Apply up to 2,200 Pounds of Force–Hands Free
The Jawhorse features a trademarked hands-free foot pedal that lets you apply up to one metric ton (2,200 pounds) of force, so you don’t have to worry about materials slipping while you work. And the jaws can be opened up to 37-inches wide, which is enough to hold most doors securely in place. This gives you maximum flexibility on the job.

The Jawhorse also eliminates the need for individual saw stands and complicated vices. A variety of different saws can be locked into the sturdy jaws on this station, allowing you to make precise cuts quickly and safely–no awkward balancing of large boards or one-handed saw operation required. Patented rubber pads help keep you from denting or scratching wood the way you might using traditional vice clamps, making the Jawhorse ideal for finish work.

Durable, Dependable, and Easy to Transport or StoreRockwell RK9000 Jawhorse
The Jawhorse features solid all-steel construction along with an extra-wide stance, providing exceptional strength and stability in a wide variety of conditions. There are no moving plastic parts to break. And with a unique, three-legged design, the Jawhorse is easier to balance on uneven terrain than traditional four-legged sawhorses and mobile workbenches.

The Jawhorse is incredibly simple to use. You just set it up, lock it in place, and clamp your project materials or tools down. This quick and easy setup makes the Jawhorse ideal for use on remote worksites and for people who don’t have the space in their busy home or apartment for a permanent workbench.

When not in use, the workstation folds down to a compact 29x14x13 inches for easy transport or storage in a small closet. And weighing in at just 43 pounds, it is easy to lift in and out of work rigs.

When unfolded, an integrated roller makes it incredibly easy to move around the workshop or the jobsite. There are holes in two of the three feet so that you can choose to bolt the Jawhorse down for frequent use in your workshop or on big job sites that require more permanence.

Available Accessories Provide Even Greater Versatility
Versatile accessories (sold separately) let you customize the Jawhorse to better meet your individual needs. You can use the Welding jaw to set up a full welding station. The Chainsaw jaw makes it easy to lock saws in place for sharpening, and Saddlebags let you keep all your tools neatly organized and within arms reach. You can also use the Plywood jaw to adapt the Jawhorse for large sheet goods up to 52-inches wide, or set up the Jawhorse as a reliable Miter Saw Station or a more permanent Work Table.

Frequently Bought Together

Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse Reviews

This is a well made, solid workplace tool, worthy of all its positive reviews. Setup and operation are both simple and intuitive. Basically, a ratcheting jaw (similar to the old car jack style) is used to provide clamping action. The jaw can be reversed on its slide so you can clamp wide items or close it completely, plus the jaw faces are surfaced with hard rubber pads and are wide and rigid enough to clamp items vertically. The ratchet is operated by a foot pedal. When pressed down at full clamp, you push a conveniently located switch on the front to lock the ratchet in place. Easily released catches allow the unit to be folded compactly for storage. For some reason a roller is built in for towing it around when folded up, which I find to be basically about as useful as your appendix although it might be useful for those with some kind of restricted motion issue. The third leg is easy to seat for making use of the unit, and easily pulls clear of its seat to pivot as needed when closing up the unit (it also serves as a tow bar for towing a closed up unit on its roller). It has a clamp down screw with a plastic encased turn down that will hold it tight if you turn hard enough. It’s not critical that it be turned tight, but is advisable.

I also purchase a companion piece, the Rockwell Jawhorse RK9109 Plywood Jaw Accessory Attachment, and for my purposes it’s been well worth it. It’s simply a replacement jaw for the one that comes with the Jawhorse, but in contrast provides a significantly wider opening. It’s too long to be reversed, so you still need both jaws. Sliding a jaw on or off the unit is quite easy, so that’s not an issue with using it. To fully support something as big as a 4×8 sheet of plywood, you need to add outriggers or use some other means to support the overhang (hardly surprising). The accessory comes with 2 clamps appropriate for producing outriggers from 2×2 or 2×4 stock (think in terms of the outriggers as being an 8′ piece with legs clamped to each end … the outriggers’ cross piece sits inside the clamp’s jaws to support the plywood’s overhang).

This is a well thought out and solidly built device. It is about 43 lbs. but has a built in roller for moving it around. After reading the small manual it is easy to operate. I wish they had enclosed more examples of uses and applications but the users will have no problem find uses for this thing. Only time will tell about durability but it appears tuff. I would tell any person who works with their hands to by one.

I purchased this Rockwell Jawhorse from Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Fast delivery and set it up in 2 minutes. Comes completely assembled. Never had a piece of equipment before that was a fold up piece and yet so amazingly sturdy. Used it the first day I received it and have more projects that it will be used on. This is a perfect unit for tradesmen in the field as it folds up very compactly and is easy to carry and place on a back floor or seat of most any kind of vehicle. It does everything the manufacturer says it does and more. I use a lot of jigs in my woodworking and this Jawhorse adds to their effectiveness. Really LIKE this thing.Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse
