Summary: Will not hold exterior door as pictured.
Comment: I bought the Jawhorse specifically to hang exterior doors. Pictured in their literature, is the Jawhorse holding a door in a position to to screw the door hinges into the frame. The Jawhorse will not hold a exterior door in the pictured position. The exterior door is just too heavy. The Literature did not specify whether the door pictured, was a interior or exterior door. I found out the hard way, it obviously was a interior door, which is much lighter. Also beware of losing those little springs. They fell off as soon as I pulled the Jawhorse out of the box it was shipped in.

Summary: This thing Rocks!
Comment: I gave this to my husband for Christmas last year. He has used it for everything! I even walked out in the garage to find an old door it in which he was using as a table. Truely versatile!! Also, I loved the fact that it had him stumped for weeks as it wrapped under the tree.

Summary: Jawhorse
Comment: The Jawhorse arrived and was deeply scratched in two places. This scratches were not do to shipping. I called the service center and was told that they do not have touchup paint. This item is not serviced by Rockwell. The only suggestion from the service center was to return it. There are many plastic parts, some moving, contrary to the advertising. The manufacturing (Chinese) was poor quality. The design seems okay but I was very disappointed with the product.

Summary: Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse.....a Workhorse!!!
Comment: While the Rockwell RK9000 Jawhorse and attachments available won't win the awards for the cheapest priced versions of such equipment on the market, I like the construction techniques used for them and the flexibility that they offer. Initially I too was slightly mislead by the claim of "all metal construction" and found several plastic pieces used in the construction of the Jawhorse upon arrival, but figured that I'd save my comments for later on after having some experience with the Jawhorse. Thus far, the Jawhorse has definitely lived up to my expectations I had for it, and the uses it can provide are basically limited by your imagination. And, my concerns about the plastic components on the Jawhorse were calmed down significantly when I read a reply in this commentary section from one of the Jawhorse designers who explained what types of plastics were used and why plastic was chosen for the few specific items that are indeed of plastic construction (yep, Rockwell is following the feedback here!).
Another attachment that might be of use for Rockwell to consider to develop to add to the accessory line would be a jackscrew lifting and supporting system which could be stabilized with the Jawhorse. Think about those times where you are needing to lift and hold a heavy item such as mounting overhead cabinets, putting newer televisions on wall mounts, or numerous other times where you need to both lift a relatively heavy item and stabilize it long enough to attach it permanently (or semi-permanently) and you just don't have enough hands or strength to maintain your elevated position, support the heavy object, and attach the object where it is going to be mounted at all at one time (and sometimes a second person will only get in the way of the attempt). The jackscrew support system would allow you to slowly lift the item into position, while the Jawhorse provides the stability to keep things from toppling, and then your hands are free long enough to make the attachment with nails, screws, bolts, or whatever hardware is needed to fix the heavy object where it's going......and in the case of a TV set positioned high on a wall mount, the same jackscrew system could be used to lower the set at a later date if it needs to come down for maintenance purposes. Yes, such an attachment would be a specialty item, but I can quickly thing of several times I could have dearly used such an adjustable vertical support system with the stability provided of the Jawhorse.
