A folding sawhorse pair gives a garage or driveway project a work surface that disappears when you are done. Most sets fold flat, and many add side arms that hold a 2×4 so two horses can carry a board or a sheet as a simple bench.
The six sets below run from a light STANLEY pair to adjustable steel horses with listed capacities in the thousands of pounds. Capacities, weights and sizes come from each product’s listing page and are the makers’ own figures. We have not used these products ourselves. Follow each maker’s manual for loading.

The 6 Best Folding Sawhorses
1. WORKESS Folding Saw Horses 2 Pack
A two-pack of steel horses that the maker lists at 2200 pounds for the pair, with fast-open legs, an easy-grip handle, four cast steel hooks for 2×4 lumber and non-slip treatment on the top and legs. The listing overview says the material is wood while the description says steel, so confirm before you buy.
Suits: a quick-open pair for the workshop. Strengths: hooks included and no installation. Weaknesses: conflicting material line. Skip it if you need adjustable height.

2. BORA Workhorse Saw Horses 2 Pack
An orange alloy steel pair measuring 34 by 3.5 by 30 inches that folds with secure latches. Pre-drilled holes take a 2×4 for a bench top. The listing gives 2700 pounds in one place and 2400 pounds in another, so treat the capacity as unclear.
Suits: a high-capacity folding pair. Strengths: latch fold and pre-drilled holes. Weaknesses: two capacity figures. Skip it if you want a lighter pair.

A 31 inch pair weighing 12.8 pounds with a built-in V-groove for timber and pipe, rubber feet, side hangers and a tray that opens to hold tools. The maker lists 1,000 pounds for the pair. The overview names rubber as the material, which looks like a listing quirk.
Suits: a light, carry-anywhere pair. Strengths: V-groove and tool tray. Weaknesses: the lowest listed capacity here. Skip it if you will carry heavy stock.

Folding Sawhorse FAQ
Is the capacity per horse?
It varies. STANLEY lists its figure per pair and Steelman gives both per horse and combined.
Can I build a bench with them?
Several sets have 2×4 arms or brackets for that. Follow the manual.
The Short Version
