In this video, Mark Donovan of HomeAdditionPlus.com demonstrates Rockwell Tool's
JawHorse Sheetmaster, a portable workstation designed for the jobsite or home
workshop. He also discusses its unique benefits and the various applications for
it.
Rockwell Tool's recently announced a new cool tool to help out both
contractors and diy homeowners. It’s a hands-free portable workshop
station that Rockwell Tools calls the JawHorse Sheetmaster. It is
effectively an adjustable workbench that has the unique ability to support
large sheets of building materials such as 4’x8’ plywood or drywall.

In addition, it can support loads up to 600 lbs, and includes the original
JawHorse clamping mechanism with one metric ton (2,200 lbs) of clamping force.
It also has a very wide clamping capacity that varies from 0 to 49 inches in
width, enabling it to support standard width building material sheet products
such as plywood.
The JawHorse Sheetmaster is ideal for both the contractor and the diy homeowner.
It can function as a work bench, a saw horse, a stand, and a vice. Its sturdy
construction is perfect for any contractor jobsite and its compact footprint
makes it ideal for any homeowner’s garage or basement workshop.
Clamping building material in the JawHorse Sheetmaster is a breeze. The steel
jaw clamp is
8 inches in width by 3inches in height with rubber surfaces on each side of the
jaw, giving it tremendous gripping surface area. To hold something firmly in the
jaws, you simply place the material on top of the Sheetmaster work surface and
step on the integrated foot pedal to clamp the material into place. Each stroke
of the foot pedal ratchets the JawHorse Sheetmaster jaw clamp tighter by 1 inch.
Once the material is clamped in tight, a simple locking switch holds the clamped
material firmly in place. Additionally, a separate leg bracket accessory is
included to work in conjunction with the JawHorse Sheetmaster and a couple of
2x4s to support large 4’x8’ sheet materials.
| The JawHorse Sheetmaster is extremely easy to assemble as it
comes as a single unit. Simply turn the JawHorse upside down, release a
latch mechanism on the foot pedal, and then stretch the three legs out until
they lock into place. The forward leg requires one knob to also tighten.
Finally, turn the unit over and stand it up on its legs and its ready for
use. Teardown is also a breeze. Again turn the JawHorse upside down, slide
the latching buttons to unlock the two back legs, loosen the knob for the
front leg, and then simply fold up the legs. |

It really is as easy as 1-2-3. When folded up it fits into a compact footprint
of 37-1/4” in length x 14-5/8’ in width x 13-7/8” in height.
The JawHorse Sheetmaster is more heavily constructed than the original JawHorse
to give it the strength and stability to support large 4x8 plywood sheets. It’s
constructed out of powder coated heavy gauge steel and includes a wide stance
tripod design, with large rugged non-slip feet. Consequently it weighs in at 53
lbs, about 10 lbs heavier than the original JawHorse. This said, Rockwell Tools
did an excellent job in modifying the original JawHorse portability design
feature to support this heavier model. By integrating inline skate-type wheels
and a hand grip into the front leg, which can double as a pulling arm, the
Rockwell JawHorse is easy to wheel around on most jobsite and home floor /
terrain surfaces.
The JawHorse Sheetmaster is reasonably priced and several additional
accessories, such as a tool tray, saddlebag, welding jaw, and a log and chainsaw
jaw, can be purchased separately. It can be purchased directly from Rockwell
Tools at www.Rockwelltools.com, other shopping websites, and from various local
retail stores.
So if you’re in need of a rugged, portable and flexible workbench, that can
support wide and heavy items, make sure to check out Rockwell Tool’s JawHorse
Sheetmaster. It’s the perfect tool for effectively providing another pair of
hands while cutting plywood or other sheet building products.
