The JawHorse came quickly and was packed well in
the box -- no visible damage. I opened it up, read the directions but
when I first tried it out, the JawHorse would not lock. No matter what I
did, it would not lock. Shipping this "puppy" back would be a big
hassle so I took the face plate off that holds the lock button and the
button fell out -- it was not connected to anything. I saw two holes in
the back of the button so I figured something had to be connected to
it. When I looked inside with a flashlight, I saw the connecting prongs
(thin spring loaded metal prongs) and saw they they were to be inserted
in the holes from the inside out -- the spring pushing them out and
holding them in place (if you have this problem you will see what I
mean). I squeezed the prongs together, inserted them in the holes,
reinstalled the button and faceplate and it worked like it was intended
to work.
I gave a four star rating because of this problem -- the unit itself is fine and works well. However, if someone purchased this unit, had the same problem, and was a bit timid about taking the faceplate off (maybe void the warranty?) it would be an giant hassle to repack and ship it back. Also, since these "prongs" were spring loaded and pushing out (you had to pinch the spring together to insert it), there is absolutely no way they could have vibrated out during shipping. In my opinion, this was definitely a quality control problem -- the unit could not have been tested to see that it worked after being manufactured.
The bottom line is I am happy with the unit thus far -- it is very sturdy and works fine.
