Now he was not using them as designed and he ended up putting stress on points that were not designed for it. Harbor Freight should have mentioned that on a reply. Basically those are EMT conduit, both the HF and the one in your picture. The one in your picture is stronger by total design, but not by much. If you are serious about fold up and strong, height adjustable metal horses look at Home depot, they have three IIRC sizes. Up to 1500 or more pounds. |

What I like about them is the shelf underneath. It's a great place to hold tools and parts while working on whatever is on top. http://www.lowes.com/pd_425613-82673...d=4113818&pl=1 Mine are not height adjustable. Perhaps that's a nice feature but I've never tried it. |

Home Despot, Lowes, most full line hardware stores, just for starters. They will be "better" and more expensive than the ones shown. Lots of "how tos" on the web to make your own. |

They're undoubtedly better than what no-punctuation wants but they're still not great. They're the ones that crashed on Leon, aren't they? I agree that the shelf below is quite useful. |

I have some very good, heavy duty ones I bought there. Not very expensive and very handy. Folded closed they're about 36"x4"x2½" and have a carry handle that is nicely balanced. |

I replaced with similar but with adjustable steel legs. I agree that the shelf below is quite useful. |
