Model # DWST11155

Ask any man if he has a pair of sawhorses in the garage, and he will probably tell you yes. Now ask that same guy if he likes that pair of sawhorses, and he’ll probably tell you no.

Dewalt has really done the impossible and came out with an inexpensive 32” metal folding sawhorse that is not only built extremely well, but you can store these without taking up hardly any room at all.

The frame of these horses are all metal with a hard plastic top. Each side of the sawhorse will accept a 2X4 in each slotted grove that allow you to turn the saw horses into a work table.

The other nice thing about these is that you can snap them together and carry them at the same time when folded up. The built in handle really makes these easy to move around, and finding a storage area will not be an issue.

Each saw horse is sold separately, but they only run around $40.00 a piece ($80.00 for 2) which is not too bad for what you’re getting. Trust me, there is nothing worse than using a chap plastic sawhorse while working on something that you need to keep steady. Your man will thank you for it.

It comes with the driver, a 12v battery, charger and a really nice case to keep it protected for $99.00 . As for power, it will pack as big of punch as a larger impact gun, but takes up half the space. You can also use the Ryobi impact bits that we looked at above with this driver.
