Jawhorse Extension |
The extension for the Jawhorse is an excellent accessory for the basic Jawhorse. It is easy to use and simple in function. I heartily recommend it for those who purchase the Jawhorse.
The price is reasonable and it is an excellent addition to any workshop.
The extension applies quickly to the basic Jawhorse, and by adding two 2X4's to the clamps provided, sizes up to 4'X 8' can be held steady.
I heartily recommend this product for those who purchase the basic Jawhorse. |

Great complimentary product |
Considering the Jawhorse is a real quality product, I shouldn't be surprised that this accessory product also gets an A+. Although it was a bit late when the FedEx man dropped off the package today, I was eager to try it, hoping to test it out before dark. I shouldn't have worried. The Log Jaw was extremely easy to attach to the Jawhorse with no tools. It can just as easily be removed when not in use. The two pieces bolt on with good-sized knobs for hand tightening the bolts. The Log Jaw allows the vice to grasp taller items, such as logs.
I used it to hold a log, which I dispatched into pieces for the fireplace with no problem and tested the foldout grippers meant to hold the chainsaw blade securely so you can sharpen the chain. Although I didn't do the sharpening, I can see that it works as designed by holding the bar tightly while allowing the chain to rotate.
My real purpose for buying the attachment, however, is a little weird. Now, don't laugh, but I wanted to make tight bundles of kindling for the fireplace to avoid buying those expensive firestarter logs. They start a good fire with little effort, no question, but with all the sticks that fall from the trees in my yard, it seemed I should be able to meet that need for free. I'd tried collecting the sticks and tying up bundles with twine, but I couldn't get the bundles tight enough. Sticks were falling all over the place and they burned up in two seconds leaving a large crater under my fire stack. So, with my new Log Jaw, I lay the sticks in the trough between the jaws until I had a good stack and then squeezed them by tightening the vice. Once tight, I tied twine on each end and released the vice. Voila--I had created a really good, tight bundle about 5" in diameter. It was easy to handle and went right to the fireplace, successfully doing the intended job. I'm really pleased. It took less than five minutes to create the bundle, which included collecting and breaking up the sticks, and saved me about $2.00 (the cost of one small starter log). After less than 20 bundles, I'll have paid for the accessory and will be saving money on all future fires, plus getting rid of the unsightly sticks.
That is not the expected use for this attachment, but just goes to show its versatility. Tools of this quality make such projects safe and even fun and help you save money by making use of available free resources.
