Thinking about getting the Rockwell Jaw horse
I don't currently have my garage space sorted, so it''a at a premium. It may be a while as the clutter from moving in a year ago and childrne moving in and out take up that space.
I have no work surface currently and changing shocks and struts is a PITA even with the a spring tool. I also have a problem with loving All in One solutions and gadgets.
I came across the Rockwell Jawhorse
http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=21351 and with its gripping capabilities and the worktable and welding accessories it could be a solution to having a large table. plus it's portable.
I also came across the XBench from skil. http://www.skiltools.com/en/UseYourS...ter/XBench.htm.
Both of these are geared toward wood work. I can see the Jawhorse being useful in other ways.
It would be nice if there was something portable like this with all the things one would need to work on vehicles.
Components such as a built in vices, grinding/polishing/welding/soldering/small press station etc. An All -in One if you will like the Xbench, but for cars.
Anyone see any problems with either of them, or know of something like these for cars?

Jawhorse is amazing. Use mine all the time for things I never would have thought to use it for.. Its currently a table but also functions as a grinding vice, 2x4 clamp, ladder... folds up and takes little space. Great tool!!
