  • Klein 80178 Sawhorses: My Jobsite Go-To

    ByMike Izzo

    I’ve been hauling the Klein 80178 sawhorses in my van for about eight months now, and they’ve become essential gear for ductwork fabrication and unit staging. The folding design actually works – I can collapse them one-handed and wedge both behind my passenger seat without playing Tetris. The adjustable height from 26 to 32 inches means I’m not killing my back whether I’m cutting sheet metal on a basement floor or working at waist level in a mechanical room. Those 2×4 support arms grip lumber tight, but what really matters is they hold a condenser steady while I’m connecting lines. At crawlspace jobs or tight retrofit work, having a stable platform that sets up in seconds makes the difference between getting it done and getting frustrated. They’re built solid enough that I’ve stopped babying them.
