Spotted these Bora Speedhorses in Menards the other morning. Like most guys, I started playing with them and thought they were pretty cool. Cool enough to pick up a pair and share with you all. What do you think? Would you buy a pair?

I didn't realize how much i hated those push pin type releases until you mentioned it. Lol

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

LOL! Right!? Sorry to burden you with that "hard to shake" hatred ;). Those things piss me off every time.

@lawdog516 3 месяца назад

I have had a pair for 6 months and they are the best saw horses I ever owned !!!

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Nice! Haven't spoken to anyone who's owned them for any length of time so glad to hear your experience has been positive! Thanks for watching!

@stevewynn6937 3 месяца назад

I agree totally with your insights Tom

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Thank you and thank for watching!

Those are really cool, thanks Tom

Thank you and thanks for watching!

These are nice. I will consider them for my shop. Semper Fi Brother.

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Thanks for watching and taking the time to chime in! If you have an opportunity to check them out in person I would definitely suggest checking them out. Overkill? Maybe. Cool? I think so :). S/F!

Good video. Have some like yr first set and love them. They are super strong, stable while being light weight, compact and very easy to store.

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Thanks for watching and taking the time to chime in! Yeah, I shouldn't complain about my green Masterforce horses. They've served me very well for quite a while. I suffer from "shiny object syndrome" though and can't help but like new toys ;)

@lamdog24 Месяц назад

You've sold me on these! Have to get a pair now!

Looks like I’m going shopping!!

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

LOL! Hope you like em! If I didn't have any horses already, these are the ones I would get myself as of now.

@jonnybkuehl878 3 месяца назад

Man, those are sweet!!

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Hey Jonny! Yeah, I thought so too. It's a love/hate kinda thing going into a store and finding something cool that you had zero intention of buying, but then just got the "bug" LOL. Then again, I'll be the first one to admit my impulse control is a "work in progress". Hope you guys have been doing well!

Hey, Tom. Menards has these horses on sale for $69 before an 11% rebate. Also, the small EDC Steamlight Pro-Tac 1AAA light you mentioned in a previous post, made it through a full wash cycle this last week (DUH!!) and survived with no ill effects.

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Hey there! 100% on the Menards rebate. That's exactly what I did with these LOL. I cited the normal price though in the video just in case others don't have that option. Also, that's awesome to hear your light made it thru a wash cycle unscathed! I think mine has been thru a few wash cycles, left in the rain channel under the hood of my GX470, and dropped who knows how many times and the damn thing still keeps on ticking. At this point, if it were to die, I wouldn't even be mad. I feel I definitely got my money's worth LOL. Thanks for watching and chiming in!

@donwhitehead4587 3 месяца назад

Slicker design than my Kregs but I’m sure mine are WAY more stout!

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

possibly. i like Kregg gear as well. Also expensive, but every piece of Kregg gear has been worth every penny.

@s9josh778 3 месяца назад

I love good engineering too. Though, at $160 a set and knowing I would crash my saw into it soon, I will stick with my plastic jobbies.

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

LOL! Can't argue with that. A bit high in price considering the myriad of alternatives out there. And, the cost of a hard stop of blade on metal is certainly not cheap either ;). thanks for watching@

@p4h10oso 3 месяца назад

Sold!!

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

ha! have at it and hope you enjoy!

@stark808 3 месяца назад

Do I spy nunchaku hanging under your workbench? haha

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

haha. yup! had those for a LOOOONG time. Use to be pretty good with them. I'd probably coldcock myself in the face if I tried doing what I use to be able to do now LOL

@gobear83 3 месяца назад

Wonder what happens if you miss adjust your skill saw and catch the metal …you should see my wooden saw saws..guess i”m old school..and I like keeping stuff out of land fill..

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Catching the metal would definitely result in a bad day LOL. I like old school wooden horses for the same reason...they provide a sacrificial cutting surface. These have accommodations for mounting 2x4's as a surface frame which is nice. In that case, one would have to accidentally set the blade a full 1.5" or so too deep to screw up. That's a margin of error I think even I can live with :)

I did a very brief contract job in Iowa, and my employer forgot to ship some tools I needed. My customer suggested I head to Menard’s. “What’s Menards?” Said I…. He should have said “Disneyland for right-minded people”.

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

LMAO!!! That's awesome.

@rcmrcm3370 3 месяца назад

Quality counts - Cheaper than the co-pay when a horse drops you onto pavement.

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

very true. I finally started to embrace the idea that "you get what you pay for" a bit late in life, but for the most part it's proven true.

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Thank you sir! :)

@bdlii 3 месяца назад

If they last a lifetime the price is reasonable. Buy once.

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Good point. I follow a similar line of thinking when it comes to certain tools I know I'll use often and would prefer to have around for a while. Buy once, cry once right? LOL. Thanks for watching and taking the time to chime in!

@tentonhammer5469 Месяц назад

Buy once cry once as the saying goes. I agree

@DOCWHOK9 3 месяца назад

$70USD yes theyre overpriced. Damn nice space saver though, functionality looks ok? you didnt do any work on them...

@TomtheDilettante 3 месяца назад

Thanks for watching and taking the time to chime in! Definitely on the pricier end of the spectrum. You're right, I didn't show any meaningful work on them. I did throw some wood on there, stood on them and jumped up and down as a quick test of sturdiness, but TBH, I was trying to keep this video short and sweet. Good feedback nonetheless and I'll give showing more test cases more consideration in the future. Thanks again!
