I've been buying a bunch of tools lately to help me around the Home as well as Weber grill restorations but this purchase is hands down the best one I've made. It just makes the job so much easier.
I originally was going to get a Black & Decker Workmate but as reading an article comparing it to the Rockwell Jawhorse I became interested in the Jawhorse so the search was on.
I was searching Craigslist for a original model RK9000 and came across one in Maine that was used for one project and put into the shed soon thereafter. A quick call to the owner and it was still available and he accepted my offer. I was going to be vacationing in Old Orchard Beach Maine and he was about 25 minutes from my Motel so he said he'd hold it for me for three weeks till I made my way to up North.
After I got it Home I had to try it out. I immediately placed a Genesis Cook Box in it, clamped it down, and sanded it with my Bosch 1/4 sheet sander (also a newer purchase).
When that was finished I clamped my End Caps in and proceeded to sand them down as well.
I used it for another project for my Wife's Daycare and each time I used it I wondered how I been getting along without it- yes, it's that handy. My kids asked me if they wouldn't be called outside to help with Dad's projects now that I had this and not once have I had to yell for them to "give Dad a Hand".
So if any of you guys are looking for a second set of hands, the Jawhorse might be your answer.
Here is the cheesy infomercial for it:
