Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse Workbench

Hello Readers,

Today I don’t have so much a power tool as I do a powered by you tool. This vital “power tool” can be just as important as any drill or hammer to someone making minor framing repairs on the house or finishing a cabinet. This important power tool is the Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse.

Aside from clamps and vice grips being useful in general, particularly for the tasks you never thought you bought it for like sanding smaller pieces of wood or getting a precision cut on the small piece of steel, the Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse is designed particularly well making it one of the better selling power tools overall on Amazon.com, the world’s largest internet retailer.

There is so much to talk about here I’ve decided to focus on five key features. The first thing I want to address is that you can apply as much as 2,200 pounds of raw force to keep an object in place. That means you can probably get away with holding dressers and without having to worry about the Rockwell Jawhorse RK9000 falling. Another thing the 2,200 pounds of staying power offers is being able to keep whatever it is you’re working on very stable. If you’ve ever cut wood or metal you know it can be hard to keep things steady and very easy to wind up with a crooked piece of metal or wood. Well, using over a ton worth of force to keep your objects steady while you’re cutting them is going to give you better cuts every time, plain and simple!

I’m sure you’re thinking a power tool like the Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse must be heavy and unweildly for all the power it offers. Well, you’re wrong. At only 43 lbs., it’s a fairly light piece of equipment, considering it can support full size pieces of sheetrock. It’s very easy to store. When you’re done with your hammering for the day you can fold down the Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse to 28” x 13”! That’s pretty darn small. It’s also probably shorter than your weed whacker once you get it folded, and definitely takes up less space than a lawn mower!
What caps the Rockwell Jawhorse RK9000 off is the rolling wheels that allow you to easily transport it anywhere. Wether you ‘re taking it to the jobsite or putting it back in your garage, you’ll be able to get it where you need it to go without a hassle.

  • Tripod base delivers maximum stability
