Metabo Klappbock folding sawhorse

Metabo is a historic German manufacturer of professional-grade power tools and workshop accessories. Founded in 1924, its name is derived from the 'Metallbohrdreher' (metal drill), the company's first major product. The item shown is a pair of adjustable folding sawhorses designed for construction and workshop use.

While Metabo maintains a high-tech manufacturing facility in Nürtingen, Germany, where it produces many of its core electrical tools and battery systems, many of its mechanical accessories, hardware, and non-powered workshop equipment are manufactured in Asia, particularly China, to maintain competitive pricing. In 2016, Metabo was acquired by Koki Holdings Co., Ltd., a Japanese company that was previously part of the Hitachi Group. Consequently, while the brand maintains its German heritage and engineering standards, the ultimate ownership is Japanese.
