In this video, Mark Donovan of
HomeAdditionPlus.com demonstrates Rockwell Power Tool's JawStand, a
portable work support tool. He also discusses the unique benefits of the
tool and applications for it.
Rockwell Power Tool’s recently
announced their new JawStand tool. The JawStand is a portable work support
tool that comes already assembled and is ready to use in about 30 seconds.
The JawStand is a flexible tool for helping out in a myriad of home
improvement projects.
I recently had the chance to try one out, and as soon as I saw it I
thought of half a dozen ways I could use it.

For me, one of the most common
pain-in-the-neck chores I have to do on a jobsite is build up a couple of workhorses to create a temporary work table for my chop saw and table saw. With two
Rockwell JawStands and a piece of ¾” plywood I can create a simple work surface
in a matter of minutes.
Another useful application is when cutting a large piece of plywood or lumber
with a table saw or chop saw. Frequently I find myself in these situations
needing a spare pair of hands to hold the extended length of lumber while I make
the cut. With a Rockwell JawStand I can simply place it underneath the extended
length of plywood or lumber to support it while I make the cut.
Likewise, when cutting pipe I frequently find it difficult to hold the pipe
steady while I try to make my cut. With an adjustable 1-3/4” jaw clamp I can
secure most common size pipes into the JawStand and make a controlled and even
cut.
The Rockwell portable work support JawStand is also useful for other home
improvement projects such as supporting cabinets while they are being fastened
to walls, and clamping items while they are being stained or painted.
The JawStand is also extremely flexible. Its tripod based stand can adjust in
height from 25 to 41 inches with a twist of a knob. There is also a scale on the
side of the support column for setting the proper height of the JawStand. In
addition the jaw itself can swivel 360o and tilt up or down from 0 to 90o by
simply adjusting two knobs. It also includes a bubble level on top of the stand
and two low friction resting surfaces. Another neat feature is the wide foot
pads at the base of each leg. Each foot pad has a hole in it to enable the
JawStand to be securely fastened to a subfloor.
The Rockwell JawStand is also very compact and requires little storage space,
unlike a wooden workhorse. It fold ups tightly and can be stored easily on a
shelf or in the back of a work truck. It is also extremely light, weighing in at
just 13.2 lbs, while at the same time very rugged in construction. It can
support up to 220 lbs.
So if you are in need of another pair of do-it-yourself home improvement helping
hands, check out Rockwell Power Tool’s JawStand. It is extremely flexible and
affordable, and can be purchased online at
www.RockwellToolsDirect.com and other website stores, as well as at
various independent hardware stores and Sears.
