This thing is a bit better than it looks. It looks fairly resistant, folds up, and is light enough to carry around. It seems to me that it would be strong enough to take the weight of anything that can be lifted onto it by hand, so long as the weight is applied directly from above, evenly spread and not dropped from a height. It needs to be set up on fairly level and even ground. It is designed so that the two "X" shaped supports can be set up different distances from each other so that one sawing gap is smaller than the other. That allows wood as short as 11 inches to be supported. There are also extra holes drilled in useful places, such as at the top. That would allow a bar or chain to be fitted if desired above the log and across it. That would hold one end of the wood down so that the other end can protrude a long way without tipping over, which avoids having to keep putting the saw down and moving it. If necessary, the unused holes near the bottom of the horse could be used to fit an extension so that the horse doesn't tip over instead when sawing in that way. I haven't yet bashed my hand on any of the fairly sharp metal ends at the top, but when I do it won't half hurt. It will remind me that I should have been wearing proper gloves (not cloth ones) anyway. Read full review

Sort of in between positive and neutral. I didn't expect very much for my £23.99 and didn't get very much. No matter how many times you put the thing together it has a twist in it, open and folded , it looks as though it should have some spacers with it for where the bottom rails cross over. The metal is about as thin as could be to allow it to stand and i'll probably re drill and re fit the angle rail above the horizontal one to remove the twist.

My second. I made few modifications to make it safe for me. No instructions. Not that difficult tho. Needs two chains on bottom to stop the legs parting under weight, there are bolt holes already. Make a wooden or rubber domed cap on each top, using bolt holes already there. That'll stop any injuries to your body from the sharp metal tops. It doesn't rust if left outside. Folds in two, but if you bend the teeth it'll be difficult to fold up. Otherwise, it's good and does the job perfectly.

Good piece of kit. Certainly couldn't have made it myself for the price. Simple but effective. Stable on the ground and grips wet logs well. Used it to log single 8 foot pieces of 12 inch diameter and up to five 4 inch branches of the same length (when pressed well onto the teeth). Also stable with a 2 foot overhang on both ends. Swift free delivery. Easy to assemble.

I bought this to help with cutting some logs at home. It is a simple and cost efficient piece of equipment that enables me to have both hands free to use a chainsaw. It could benefit with another rail just below the fulcrum point of the two halves to make it a bit more rigid, but other than that it is fine for what I need it to do.
