Abstract

A collapsible sawhorse having a bench and four legs extending outwardly therefrom at a fixed angle. All of the legs are hinged to the bench so as to be movable between an upright position and a collapsed, substantially flat position. An arm is pivotally mounted to the outer legs at opposite corners of the sawhorse and each arm terminates in an angular finger which mates with a U-shaped bracket extending from plates mounted to directly opposite legs. The sawhorse is secured in its upright position when the fingers mate with the U-shaped bracket and may be folded when the fingers are released from the bracket. A tool holder is hinged to the legs a predetermined distance below the bench so as to be collapsible with the basic structure.
