Actually the Triton super jaws is the knock off, it only hold up to 220 lbs of weight, and the jawhorse hold 600 + pounds and it alot more sturdy then than the super jaws.
Super jaws does not have as much clamping power as the Jawhorse and is also not as versatile as the Jawhorse.

IF YOU ASK ME THE TRITON LOOKS LIKE THE FISCHER PRICE VERSION OF THE JAWHORSE. I’V USED BOTH I KNOW.

As a General Contractor it is rare when you find a tool that actually does what is says it will do. This is one of the best tools for the money, it is an exceptional but at $170. I bought 1 just to try and now I will buy 3 more. Thanks Jawhorse.

I’ve been using (and demonstrating in the end) the Triton stuff for a few years, and have owned some for a lot longer. I have about 3 or 4 of the SuperJaws, and they are an exceptional tool. (I got my first SuperJaws about 8 years ago now, still going strong)

I’ve just gotten a JawHorse to review as well, and have spent some time with the design engineers (who also designed the SuperJaws), and this is definitely the SuperJaws all grown up. Stronger, and heftier, larger jaws, and is superb.

The wide stance of the 3 legs makes it very stable, even for significantly off-centre loads, and a tripod is ideal for uneven ground for obvious reasons.

It is certainly not a lightweight tool - reading comments from people who haven’t experienced one of these in the flesh makes for amusing reading - thanks for the laughs!

Got one for Christmas. So far I’ve used it to crush aluminum cans. Works great for that!

The JawHorse kicks A! I use it almost every day, built tough and versatile as all heck, I love it.

Might be useful for some stuff at jobsites, lightweight, easily portable, but in the workshop, I’ll go with a good workbench.

Thousands of years of woodworking and metal working = billions of dollars
4 jaw vise, one metal working vise and a bench = $450
Coming up with a new “Clamp system” that we can con some poor suckers into buying = Priceless……

Save your cash, ………….. Build your bench

“Operating the jaws with the foot pedal leaves your hands free to wrestle materials up to 220 lbs into the clamping jaws”

I’m going to put 220 lbs on something that weighs less than 1/4th of that and then use my foot to apply pressure to the whole mess balanced on 3 legs? Pass.

Looks and sounds like the Triton. I bought the Triton one 3 or more years ago. Tried to use it 3 times and gave up. Crapola.

Idea looks o.k., but the Triton is worthless.

That’s actually a pretty neat tool… might have to look into one of those…
