it is particularly considerate of you to look up what it is called / available as in north america. I'm always impressed with what you come up with in your videos. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@bluemalamute]

thanks for the chuckle - " . . . or in the case of the Rockwell, about 45lbs" - nice :)

[@markweiner4430]

I'm looking forward to your video of how you're going to hang it on your wall.

[@504hotboi5]

Right?! 🤣😂🤣

[@AncoraImparoPiper]

Excellent demo. It is far more versatile than my little vice on my workbench. On my shopping list for sure now.

[@AirfixLtd]

👏Thanks for another great video Jean, in the UK we have a version of this unit, its called a Triton Superjaws XXL: (Not affiliated, just for interest to UK viewers) 👍😀

[@quirkygreece]

I have a similar tool, the Triton “Superjaws”, and I love it. In fact it rarely gets put away because I use it so much. To anyone thinking of buying this tool I would say go ahead - it’s so useful that you’ll never regret it.

[@CzKaa]

Yes, this product is very good for use out-of-workshop, I love it. Regardless of manufacturer. :)

[@vk7hch]

I have had a Triton branded version of this unit for many years. Thanks for the review.

[@Flippingdrawers]

Seems useful 👌🏻

[@LudwigVorndran]

Baie handig om te hê asook om dit saam met jou te vat. Kostes in Suid-Afrika is tussen R4000 - R5000 vir hierdie spesifieke grootte. Daar is ook ander goedkoper make, maar dis wat jy kan bekostig. Goedkoop koop kan duur koop wees. Dankie vir jou videos daar uit die Kaap.

[@kentaroo.7759]

I have the Rockwell. It works great.

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty interesting workstation indeed, Jean! 😃 Thanks for the review! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@simonr6793]

Jean, I've seen lots of videos on this type of product but just about all of them have been showing the product being used for either holding firewood as its broken down or for holding logs that are being cut with a chainsaw. You did a good job of showing that the horse was very strong when holding items but it would have been good to see you showing how sturdy it was with the large piece of plywood/mdf that you used last in this video🤔. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

[@DaveGDesigns]

I’ve got the triton super jaws and they’re awesome i think they were the original but they work exactly the same great video as always Jean👌🏻

[@joshyray91]

Subscribed, liked and here is a comment. I love your videos keep doing awesome content

[@davidwilliams1060]

Thanks. I appreciated the US shopping mention and the Imperial conversion. I work in metric where possible but it doesn’t register in me in certain ranges.

[@netbootdisk]

In Australia this is sold as the 'AEG Super Clamp' from Bunnings AUD $219. Great channel by the way!

[@netbootdisk]

Upon purchase & closer inspection; the AEG version is actually slightly different on the leg locking mechanisms. No roller either; but the third leg has a proper 'foot'. Still a very heavy & solid unit

[@gadgetmerc]

The one I have allows you to lock it and then push down the foot pedal. Makes it much simpler than engaging the lock while you're applying pressure on the pedal and holding the workpiece with the other hand.

[@shawnr771]

Thank you for the review.

[@darrenmcdonald9891]

you should start a second channel for all the reviews of items the only thing i would have lliked to see is for the middle leg a pad you can add onto it to make the base wider for support like the front to legs are so that leg doesnt sink in while the other two cant

[@DavidSmith-ez4vv]

As someone who has used a Black & Decker workmate for the last 25 years this looks like a well thought out piece of equipment. I do have 2 suggestions: 1. Relocate the roller to the top so can have a duel purpose of being an out feed roller. 2. Use Teflon strips as glides for the moving half of the jaws. Just some spur of the moment thoughts that may still need some refining.

[@randelcross]

One of my better tool Investments! Very versatile... good review...

[@deswestcott8951]

Looks identical to the Triton Superjaws which has been around a long time. The Kress website doesn’t have this product though. When looking for a supplier, they say Kress tools are only available at Total Tools. The Total Tools SA website doesn’t have any Kress tools listed 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@peterbaxter6028]

All versions of this tool emanate from the 1992 original patented Triton Superjaws, designed & manufactured by them when they were an Australian company. It doesn't really matter which version you have though, as they really are a versatile & flexible bit of kit for everyone from DIYers to Professional tradies. Had my old version for years, clunky & awkward, but so handy.

[@CzKaa]

@@peterbaxter6028 But Triton Superjaws have not roller ... :) And this "copy" look in some details better. :)

[@MrPatdeeee]

Another Woodshop Junkies; that is great in my woodshop. Not sure what I can buy one. Thank you kind Sir. Take care for you are Great.

[@alanstalker5499]

Another great video. Hope you’re doing good, sir.

[@Lee-ot2uk]

Great video! In the UK, we had two of these in our workshop back in the mid-1990s. They were made by Elu. Elu doesn't exist anymore. I think they were bought up by Black & Decker. Maybe the patent was sold?

[@CzKaa]

slightly better than Triton Jawhorse, with roller addition. :)

[@williamherring5441]

Thanks

[@brendandouglas-henry905]

You are going to enjoy that, I had the original super jaws from Triton, I guess the patent must have run out, I bought it at Hardware Centre JHB when I lived in SA. It used to be my favourite tool, looks like they have improved the locking and opening mechanism. My question is does it come with interchangeable vice grips the triton had a log holder and a metal one that turned it into a simple anvil for metal?

[@mplussant]

…nicely done…a lot of tools could use your instruction…thx…

[@raymitchell9736]

I do need some work holding clamping options for my workshop. I do a lot of small work pieces as well. Any ideas? I have those squeeze grip kind of clamps, but something that I can use to hold work when using the drill press, and when cutting with power tools would be a good to have item. This clamping workhorse would be excellent as well, but I think I need a bench vise first... I might get one of those.

[@mellissavandermerwe8033]

Giant compactable vice. Does it cost more or less than a table top one?

[@pinkytaylor5845]

❤

[@samuelcompton3021]

The roller reminds me a lot of outfeed stand rollers. Can it be oriented to work like that?

[@cernunnoskali]

That would make it much more useful. I suppose a roller could be made so that it gets clamped in the jaws

[@xlfive]

I Can't find any about this product here in the UK,Lumberjack do a similar one for £100 available online only at B&Q

[@mkay6089]

Cannot find that product name here in the UK. It Looks good but the Rockwell equivalent here in the UK, on Amazon is £359 pounds UK sterling I will definitely be giving it a miss also the work support stand to go with it is another £149 pounds UK sterling.

[@patrick9402]

In the UK this is branded as the Triton Superjaws. I got the xl version from Screwfix. Had mine about 3-4 years. They are on Amazon UK for around £115 but mine doesn't have a roller at the front.

[@mkay6089]

[@nastyevilbunny]

Would be great if you could build something that has similar functionality, maybe not quite as good or convenient to use, but cheaper and homemade.
