I too have used Stoney Knoll screens. They are well built, easy to handle, and durable.
For those of you who are handy there is a nice article in the 1995 Bulletin of the Archaeological Society of New Jersey by Kristian Eshelman titled, "The Nuts and Bolts of Archaeology: Building Soil Sifting Screens." The plans are easy to follow and the big tripod screens are very efficient.
Best,
Rich Veit

We use a variety of Stoney Knoll screens at our firm and highly recommend
them. Our crew members are particularly fond of the 14" x 20" hand sifters
for survey projects that require them to carry screens for long distances.
Best,
Michelle

The link opened fine for me...
But I personally don't like this far-end pivotal screen design tho. It's
been yrs since I've done fieldwork, but I did plenty of it in 15 yrs worth.
A screen that pivots just a bit off mid-center is what I am used to...and
easy to use. And, they dump out/empty easy...Away from you. How the heck
does one Dump this model? I just remember the rocking motion felt very odd
(outside my comfort level). But...most
things arent how they used to be... We dug with railroad pick,
mattock, and shovel in my day...not dig bars - like they do now. I wore
down the tip of my Estwing rock pick to a nubbing...
