Not a saw horse at all, but a scaffold plank stage, used in pairs.
With legs extendable by 1-1/2″ increments, each independently, it is supposedly a good thing for working off uneven ground. We are hoping it can be used on roofs up to a 5/12 pitch, in doing siding, etc.
Anyone who has experience can chime in, please. The ones we ordered don’t arrive until next week.

they've been on my "buy someday" list for a long time......give us a review when you've used them a bit, OK?
I've had them for about 5 years and they are great for uneven ground. Extended, they are the right height for soffit /facia work on a one story house.
I've used them on roofs but it's hard to get used to just their friction holding them on. I have used a couple of roof brackets and a short plank under the lower leg for added security on steeper pitches. A better solution might be one of these roof boots under the lower leg http://www.provisiontools.com/prod2.htm.
I have had a pair for about 5 months. Had been on my wish list for a couple years, fianally saw a pair at Menards on clearance, and they had a 10% off everything in the store deals, so I figured it was about time.
I haven't used them alot, but do like them. Have not had them on a roof, but they worked great for setting up scaffolding to replace rotted facia and soffet on a garage I was working on.
I think they are one of those, cost a lot but worth it tools.
And how high are they in the lowest -- or collapsed position?********************************************************

I want to say 3 feet or 40" somewhere around there.
Suppose I could go out to the shed and measure for you if you need more specific.
Not necessary (exact measure).I was wondering, if among other uses, you could throw some planks on it for a work table.Thanks.********************************************************

How high do they extend?
