Really well made and super useful
Yes, these are not cheap. But they are really excellent quality. Heavy gauge steel, a tad weighty but extremely sturdy. The legs collapse and fold up under the crossbar so they stow easily, which is great when storage space in your shop or truck is at a premium. The legs adjust to a surprising range of heights and each leg is individually adjustable in small enough increments that with a shim or two they can be leveled on a slope or uneven ground. I’m actually amazed how often I use these, either by themselves or with the Kreg folding work table, which is also awesome. My workshop is an ex-one-car garage that is utterly stuffed to the rafters, so I am often setting up in the driveway, and these horses are great for that. Also very helpful to use with my folding table saw, they adjust high enough to support long cuts of plywood, planks and boards. These are a good deal more expensive than the plastic-type sawhorses, but between the adjustable height, fold-up storage and such sturdy construction that they will easily outlast me, they are a way better value in the long run.

Excellent and versatile
I love my new sawhorse. The clamp works great (I havent used it with actual wood yet but the pressure it applies and the ease of it slipping on the track). I love I can make it into a table, or just use the clamp given, OR what I was seeking I can put my dewalt clamp on it, bc this trackhorse has a finished flat bottom. So my clamp has something to resist against. Strong and very useful Sawhorse!

I did a comparison with the Bora unit and Kreg won hands down.
I have tried several saw horses. From a $5 set from Harbor Freight, to this Kreg set and several in between. Most recently I did a side by side comparison of the Kreg Track Horse and the Bora Speedhorse which I posted to YouTube recently. To my knowledge, the Kreg is the only product in the market with a T-Track, height adjust-ability, included clamping and bushings. At $120 it might seem a bit pricey, but when you unpack the box you'll see that you're getting a bargain. I'm absolutely in love with my setup now as it's going to give me lots of working space within minutes. I ended up returning the Bora to Amazon not only because it didn't stack up to Kreg, but also because the action of the legs kept getting stuck when I tried to fold them back in. This Kreg setup has a very high build quality, very smooth action on the moving parts and the ultimate adjust-ability options. You can't go wrong.

Sturdy, versatile track horse
I have used this track horse a lot more than I thought I would initially, the ability to tie it in with my ACS table using a couple of 2x4s and a sheet of plywood has greatly expanded my elevated work area, especially for finishing. Very sturdy when set up this way and can be torn down and put away in a matter of minutes. It makes cutting down large sheets on the ACS much easier and safer contributing to the versatility of that system. Overall, really pleased with this purchase.

These are very sturdy
These are very sturdy, and the legs lock open, so I don't see any way they could collapse. The only issue is that they are heavy. I like the method to support 2x4s to make two horses into a cutting table. I break down large sheets using a track saw, and these make that easy, and the 2x4s make a sacrificial top very easily. I wish there was some way to store the 2x4 clips when the horses were collapsed.

Seems to be a Very Good Saw Horse, but...
I just opened the boxes and they seem to be made of good material, better than the nearest competition. I would definitely recommend the Kreg Track Horses.Only 2 small dislikes: (i) on both units received one side of the aluminum track was misaligned and the pliers could not be inserted, unless you loosen 4 nuts from underneath, realign the track with the steel frame and tighten the nuts back, and (ii) please take notice that these nuts were not tightened to an acceptable torque, as I would imagine these nuts could easily fall with time.For what you pay for these saw horses, quality control should be first. Not that all that comes from China is bad, but you would expect better.These are a bit heavy but that's fine with me. Heavier means sturdier and stable. Not the type that one button opens all 4 legs, but I don't mind. Value for the money....a bit overpriced for what it is and does.One more thing to think about saw horses with adjustable height. They will most likely wobble a bit, some more than others. The issue here is that the legs can be extended and for ease of use there will be a spring loaded button that "secures" the height. The legs will always wobble because the connection is loose. If you want a firmer saw horse, get a non-adjustable design but then the unit will be longer.Another issue is the loose connection where the legs pivot. The less secure, the more wobbly the saw horse will be.

Good, solid piece. Works great!
Love the way the legs fold in and extend. The rail is great for clamping down your work.

If I didn't already have them, I would buy them,...
They are very sturdy for most tasks, but they do wobble a bit when pushed. I made a box frame and use an MDF table-top with these. They are good and I love the ability to set the height. I haven't used the clamps yet, but I'm sure they will work well. I have some other Kreg items in the garage, and I like the quality and workmanship.
