This looks identical to the Dewalt which is priced way higher , are the two made by the same manufaturer ?

I can't say for certain that both are made in the same manufacturing plant but they are very similar. I looked at the Dewalt but decided for my use the Northern Tool Klutch would be better for me. I like the leg adjustments much better on the Klutch and the price was a lot better. It has served me well with no issues.

The Klutch is on sale now for $120 vs $230 for the Dewalt , according to specs the Klutcch is 42 lbs and the Dewalt is 40 lbs , easy decision here , the Klutch is on order . @@ifixit172

1,000 pounds? Sorry, but no way. 100 pounds? Sure, no problem. 200 pounds? Well, sure. 300 pounds? No, these are way too flimsy for that. It seems as though they test these things by very carefully stacking bags of sand on top, covering the surface, until it collapses. But give it a push, and it will collapse sooner.
