The 10 Best Folding Sawhorses

The Hide-A-Horse Folding (about $89) blend the stability and sturdiness of wood with the ease of carrying you'd expect from plastic models. They do so by way of a nifty collapsible design, with thoughtfully made handles that allow you to pick up both of these with each hand.

When only the strongest will do, consider the ToughBuilt Steel (about $40), which offers a beefy 1,100-pound capacity and is powder coated to go the distance. It's also versatile, as you can use the 2x4 arms to turn a pair of them into an onsite table.

Just to be perfectly clear, you'll need to supply your own lumber, as the Target Precision Rugged Buddy (about $80) is only a pair of legs, not a full sawhorse. For many, though, this is a benefit, as it can be finished to anyone's individual specifications.

You can employ the Worx Pegasus (appx. $99) as a typical stand, but it gives you more bang for your buck than just that, as it also functions as a portable worktable. And if one doesn't offer you enough room, you can link two or more together to expand your available surface space.

The Metabo HPT Heavy Duty (about $35) are sold as a pair, so you'll be ready to get to work as soon as they arrive. What's more, each includes two sawbuck attachments that are specifically made for holding 2x4s, a convenient and helpful touch.

When collapsed, the Worx Clamping (about $67) feature a depth of just 2.5 inches, making them a fine choice for anyone with an already crowded garage or workshop. And because they arrive fully assembled, you don't have to waste any time trying to figure out how to put them together.

Whereas most models remain at one height, these Goplus Adjustable (about $63) can stand between 31.5 and 51 inches tall, making them great for different tasks or for taller users. They are crafted with iron frames that are coated to provide resistance to rust.

This Stanley FatMax (about $49) can be used on all types of terrain, since you can adjust each leg individually for better stability on uneven surfaces. The legs don't open quite as wide as some, though, which reduces the overall sturdiness a touch.

You won't get a lot of fancy features with the Ebco SS-29 (about $33), but it does what it's made to do, which is hold any items you place on it steady, and that will be enough for many. Made from galvanized metal, it is heavy duty and ready to work as hard as you.

The Bora Portamate (about $70) should serve the weekend DIYer well, as it's compact and stores away easily, but is still large enough for a range of applications. And you don't need to be a rocket scientist to set it up, either, because it uses a simple locking pin.
