Scissor Lift Sawhorse – Adjustable Height, 5/8" Fixturing System (Select Size & Kit Option Above)

Heavy-duty, height-adjustable welding sawhorse with a 5/8" fixturing tabletop, hand-crank lift, and optional 12-piece clamping kit.
The Scissor Lift Sawhorse combines the versatility of a welding fixturing table with the convenience of an adjustable-height scissor lift. Designed for welding, fabrication, assembly, and material positioning, this mobile work support allows you to raise or lower your workpiece to a more comfortable working height.

The Scissor Lift Sawhorse features a 5/8" (16mm) thick nitrided steel tabletop with 5/8" fixturing holes on a 2" grid, making it compatible with Strong Hand Tools' 5/8" clamping and fixturing system.

Adjust the working height using the removable hand crank, or use a compatible cordless drill with a 3/4" (19mm) socket for powered adjustment. Four locking polyurethane casters allow the sawhorse to be moved around the shop, while four adjustable leveling feet provide additional stability when positioned for work.

Available in 48" x 8" and 60" x 10" tabletop sizes, with the option to add a 12-piece clamping kit. Select the configuration that best fits your workspace and fabrication needs.

Compare the 48" and 60" Scissor Lift Sawhorses

Both models feature the same 5/8" fixturing system, removable crank handle, drill-compatible drive, locking casters, and adjustable leveling feet. The primary differences are the tabletop dimensions, lifting range, weight capacity, and overall size.

Adjustable Height for Welding and Fabrication

A fixed-height workbench does not always provide the best working position for every fabrication project. The Strong Hand Tools Scissor Lift Sawhorse allows you to raise or lower the workpiece to a height that better suits the job.

The 48" x 8" model adjusts from 18.1" to 47.2", while the 60" x 10" model adjusts from 19.3" to 53.1".

This height adjustment is useful when working with long materials, structural components, welded assemblies, and projects that require changes in working position.

The scissor lift provides stable vertical adjustment using a mechanical crank system without requiring a hydraulic pump.

Hand-Crank or Cordless Drill Operation

The Scissor Lift Sawhorse features a removable hand crank for manual height adjustment.

For faster adjustments, the handle can be removed to expose a 3/4" (19mm) hex drive shaft that accepts a compatible socket and cordless drill.

Two Ways to Adjust Height:

• Manual Hand Crank: Rotate the included crank handle to raise or lower the tabletop.
• Cordless Drill: Remove the crank handle and use a compatible cordless drill with a 3/4" socket to operate the lift mechanism.

Note: The removable hand crank is included. The cordless drill and 3/4" socket are not included.

5/8" Fixturing Tabletop

The sawhorse features a 5/8" (16mm) thick steel tabletop with precision-spaced 5/8" diameter holes on a 2" grid.

This fixturing pattern allows the sawhorse to work with compatible Strong Hand Tools 5/8" fixturing accessories, including clamps, stops, V-blocks, and other positioning tools.

The 48" model features 96 fixturing holes, while the 60" model includes 150 fixturing holes.

This system provides flexibility for securing workpieces and positioning materials during welding, fabrication, and assembly.

Nitrided Steel Tabletop

The tabletop is manufactured from 45 steel, equivalent to AISI 1045, with a nitrided and oxidized surface treatment.

This treatment helps improve surface hardness and resistance to wear and corrosion in demanding shop environments.

The manufacturer specifies a tabletop flatness finish of 0.012" (0.3mm) after surface treatment.

Mobile Design with Locking Casters

Four 3" locking polyurethane casters allow the Scissor Lift Sawhorse to be moved around the fabrication shop.

Once positioned, the casters can be locked and the four rubber-padded leveling feet lowered to provide additional stability.

Mobility Features:

• Four 3" polyurethane casters
• Foot-operated caster brakes
• Four screw-down leveling feet
• Rubber-padded leveling feet
• Powder-coated steel base

Always position the sawhorse on a suitable, level surface and secure the casters and leveling feet before loading or using the work surface.

Optional 12-Piece Clamping Kit

For additional fixturing versatility, select either the SHT-TSC4808-K1 or SHT-TSC6010-K1 configuration.

These options include the Strong Hand Tools TSB-A Scout Series 12-Piece Clamping Kit, designed for use with the sawhorse's 5/8" fixturing system.

The kit provides essential clamping and positioning tools for securing workpieces during fabrication.

12-Piece Clamping Kit Contents

Clamping Kit Details:

• Inserta Clamps: T-handle clamps with a 6.5" holding capacity and 300 lb. clamping force.
• Inserta Pliers: 3.3" capacity pliers designed to fit compatible 5/8" fixturing holes.
• Round Stops: 1" diameter positioning stops for aligning and locating workpieces.
• Aluminum V-Blocks: 120-degree V-blocks for positioning round stock and tubing.
