Olympia Tools 80-934 Forest Master Ultimate Sawhorse

So far very durable. I have grossly exceeded the size of log that you're supposed to use on this, and it's held up well. I've had a 10 ft long 8-in diameter iron wood log in it, and the only complaint that I have is the stabilizer foot could be wider. But it does work and work well.

I’ve sawed quite a few logs on this saw horse now and love it. My back feels great and my saw chain is staying sharp. Very sturdy and well built. Easy to use and makes bucking logs quick and easy. Assembly was easy, but because of previous reviews that reported issues putting it together, I actually read the instruction. Would recommend.

This really is a great tool. The assembly instructions are terrible. But more than once I said "where have you been all my life" while using it.

In cutting firewood I always struggled with keeping the log stable. I usually used my left foot to steady the log but it still moves and it felt unsafe. I saw this Olympia log holder and ordered one to give it a try. Took me about an hour to put it together. They use hex screws and one of them is quite large and I didn’t have a wrench large enough but I improvised to get it to work. Not a huge deal. Once I got it together I tried it out with a log that was about 8 inches in diameter and about 12 feet long. It held it perfectly! I was able to cut easily from both sides and the log didn’t move a bit. Cut a few more of various sizes and it worked great. I feel much safer cutting my firewood now and my back doesn’t hurt this morning!

I live in the woods so I cut down dead trees and cut up my own firewood regularly. This thing is an awesome tool that I'm glad I came across. Assembly wasn't too hard and I got to using it right away. So far I've put pieces of trees about 12 inches or so and 8 feet long on it and it holds them steady no problem. No more of the chainsaw getting pinched as i get close to cutting thru, no more holding the logs steady while i cut. This has made cutting up the trees and branches super easy and fast. It folds up nice and slim when not needed and then just unfolds and needs 2 pins to be ready for use. I recommend this to anyone who cuts up their own firewood and all regularly.

Decided to buy this item, even after reading the reviews. This sawhorse was shipped quickly; it was ready for me before I was ready for it. Simple to set-up, but I could see right away that there was no way the support brackets would stay on the pins, so for the interim I stuffed a 1" x 4" of suitable length between the the brackets so they wouldn't come off. That problem will be solved when I drill a couple holes through the legs to accommodate some slender hitch clips. It takes a short while to get the hang of sliding in a length of cordwood just right. The swinging teeth are sharp and hold the wood well, but I have found that pieces less than 3" diameter require some fiddling at times to get them locked in. The teeth are made of soft steel and BEND EASILY. Don't attempt to pull your wood back out or exert too much downward or upward pressure. I was able to easily straighten the bent ones with a couple of pliers, but doubt that practice can be repeated often. I just might weld-in some backing rod to reinforce the teeth, but the manufacturer would be wise to offer a heavier-duty product. The sawhorse was quite helpful in reducing a small mountain of cordwood I had accumulated; reducing the time bending-over with the chainsaw and making for a safer operation. Right now it's folded-up and hanging on a nail waiting for the next job. After the first use, I can say I'm satisfied with the product, despite the short-comings mentioned. Prospective purchaser's might want to review the competition if they're looking for a heavy-duty, commercial product.

The instructions could be just a little bit better, but overall was figured out Sturdy, not too heavy, well-made light enough to carry it around really works well proud of mine

THIS IS A REVISED REVIEW. REVISED FROM ONE STAR TO FOUR STARS: The sawhorse works well once assembled. It has a clever design that holds the log in place with "teeth" and a chain. Much of the heavy lifting of the log is avoided because you push down on 1/3 of the log to lock it in place rather than lifting it to get it into the horizontal position. Assembly was difficult, because the directions don't show the correct angles of the pieces prior to inserting the bolts. So, I was quite perplexed trying to read the diagrams, and there was a lot of trial and error. I needed help from someone else to connect the rear legs and rear base to the unit because the main portion had to be held in place, otherwise it would fall over. I would have given this 5 stars except for the assembly hassles. Note: one bolt and locking nut was defective for the rear leg base. I replaced it from a local hardware store.

Simply to build and use! Awesome addition to the tools!

Surprised how easy this holder is to use. Sure beats trying to cut logs on ground and propping them up with other logs. No assembly was required. Came folded flat for shipping. Just have to rotate 90 degrees and connect 2 diagonal supports with wing nuts. Just as easy to take down and fold flat for storage.

Very useful

This thing is great. Love it. Makes sawing limbs incredibly easy. I found that the pointed tangs a bit soft and tended to bend too easily in my opinion
