Lowe's has a similar version on sale for $45 each.


I'm not sure about the differences. I bought two of the Lowe's version and they are very sturdy. Easy to open, easy to adjust the height. No wobble at all.
Bora Workhorse (low price model) vs Speedhorse
Workhorse
has lower weight rating 1350 vs 1800
legs are less adjustable 4" vs 6"
legs have to be folded in in specific order vs whatever's easiest
legs are notorious for self-extending when folded, requiring disassembly of the sawhorse to unjam them
ez open has friction latch vs positive latch allowing it to ez-open while being carried - ouch
Speedhorse on sale is a much better deal

Can you keep us posted if Amazon cancels your order? They very frequently do when there are pricing mistakes of that magnitude.
I didn't order it, but someone did. Will have to see if the purchaser posts...

The 135 degree "black and gold" 1/8" jobber length bits are also available, at a good price of $1.49 for a 12-pak

Cle-line 135deg Bits at Amazon

First pack of Cle-Line bits came in today. I can confirm it is a 12 pack. Took one for a spin in mild steel. Nice bits and 1/8" is a common size to break around my place.

I tried one the other night to drill the center of a solid steel rivet on a scrap bed frame I am repurposing. It worked pretty well!

Got them.

We’ll see what all the hoopla is about. Are they really significantly better than Vice Grips at probably half or two thirds the cost?

Anyone have experience with led lighting from Lightdot? These appear to have some serious lumen output but with the seller being based in China I am a bit leery.

I have 11 of those Lithonia Lighting 4' 4000K 28W LED 3100 lumens shop lights from the Lowes clearance aisle a few years ago and am on the fence to whether I need more. Oh this place is worse than slickdeals, at least there most of the deals aren't on things that I want / need :D

I have 16 of their 2ft high bay lights in my shop. I bartered with them through Amazon when they first came out. "If you'd be willing to give a discount on 16, I'll give you an honest review". Like every Chinese company, I'm sure the specs are inflated. I am however very happy with my lights.... Even though I've had to warranty 7 or 8 of them so far (relatively painless). I'm NOT fond that they don't have a ballast, but it is what it is. Overall, quality (of mine) are nice, customer service is pretty good and quick, I'd do business with them again.

I am going to give them a shot.
I have 3 lights I got at Menards 4 years ago that need to to be replaced. Two are half out, one is out completely. I want to add a couple more now that I have reconfigured the garage as well.

I will say I bought three new lights from Menards a couple weeks ago that cost as much as these 8 and returned them. I plugged one in and it wasn't nearly as bright as what I have, even though they should have been.

I have ones in my garage basement and attic that look like those. I think mine might be Barrina brand, but are the same. Very flimsy and very light and a couple were defective from the start and new ones sent free. No problems since, but use is occasional, and it has been about 4 years.

For the 1st and 2nd floors of the carriage house, I bought quality lights with metal housings and spent about $40 per light. Been about 6 years of regular use for those and zero issues ever.

Today I installed some Metalux shop lights from Home Depot. They are the ones with half tubes over the 2 LED strips, 40 watts, 4000k, 4400 lumens claimed, about $40 from HD but $34 if you buy 6 or more. They aren’t as good as the ones in my carriage house shop but they seem decent. I needed the hard wire lights for the shop floors of my carriage house and the commercial building basement where I was installing the Metalux. For a DIYer home garage, the Amazon linkage lights are a good choice, as are the Harbor Freight lights also get great reviews and are only $17 right now with a coupon at the database.
