Workmate Workbench WM301

This is a sturdy and simple bench. The height is ideal and the price is much better than the 2 x height more complicated version also by B&D. Now I've had both I would go for this uncomplicated model every time. It folds up very slim so will not protrude into your working space when stored. This comes as a kit of parts that need constructing before use. You will need a cross head screwdriver and either a hammer or water pump pliers to either hit or squeeze the pins in to hold the winding handles on.

instructions and illustrations written by a 9 year old, more parts than an airbus A380, and same amount of time to build better off looking at good pics on amazon advert for it, for assembly guidance but good quality and sturdy and value for money (once you have assembled) hence my 4 stars

Good product and excellent value for money. However the assembly instructions are very poor and the diagrams make them even worse due to the print size. Word of warning … make sure you engage the long threads in the main frame before securing the handles with the supplied fixing pins.

I'm really pleased with this little bench. For years, I've been "making do" with chairs, tables, volunteers, even a precariously placed foot to hold things steady, so I finally decided to get something better. ASSEMBLY - after looking at other reviews (thanks, everyone), I didn't even bother to read the instructions - I went straight to YouTube and found this excellent 6 minute video: http://youtu.be/CUPPYknO5Lk, posted by "green stripey paint". I can highly recommend it, it's so easy to follow. I kept my tablet beside me and played the video in stages until I had completed the bench. It took me about twenty-five minutes. (Thank you, Mr GSP) One minor gripe - the plastic feet tend to fall off in normal use. I kept having to look for the odd one, until I glued them all with Araldite, and they've been fine since. USE - All right, it's very basic and quite light, however, as I've said, it's a lot better and safer than my previous improvisations, and it's fine for my limited skills/use, such as holding curtain poles for sawing, clamping stuff for drilling, sanding, polishing, etc. I suspect that Norm wouldn't have it in his New Yankee Workshop, but then again, I don't have Norm's space, so for me, this is ideal - it folds up and stores easily in the shed between uses. [UPDATE (Oct 2015): In fact, it's so easy to store, that I've bought another one - they are a bargain, and it's handy to have two - eg one with the mitre saw set up, and one for clamping/gluing/sanding. Both together for tackling those extra long planks - you get the idea.] So, if you're a serious joiner/handyman, this is probably not for you, however if you want to upgrade from the table/chair/anyone handy improvisation, this is a great little bench. I like it.

Bit difficult to put together but great when finished.

The workbench is great, nice design quite sturdy good value for money, reason for 3 stars is the instructions were shocking. Worst instructions ive come across it would have saved me a lot of time and effort if they made clearer instructions, quite annoying really.

A good product which will be useful time and time again. It's sturdy and adaptable and for the DIY enthusiasts will be useful on many different occasions. . The only improvement I think is needed is the instructions which are vague and difficult to understand.

The Workmate 301 has been a fantastic addition to my DIY setup. It’s incredibly versatile — I’ve used it as a sawhorse, a clamping bench, and a sturdy platform for cutting and assembly. The dual clamping cranks and adjustable swivel pegs are surprisingly strong, even holding awkwardly shaped materials firmly in place, which has made tasks like sanding and sawing much safer and more efficient. One of its best features is the foldable design. It folds completely flat and is light enough to hang on a wall or tuck into a small garage corner, yet when set up, it feels solid and steady thanks to the durable steel frame. It takes just seconds to unfold and lock into place, which makes it ideal for jobs where you’re constantly setting up and packing away. Whether I'm working in the shed or moving between sites, this bench is compact enough to take with me but sturdy enough to rely on — a great balance of portability and strength. Pros: Multi-purpose — great as a workbench, sawhorse, or clamping station Solid steel frame provides a reliable, steady work surface Strong clamping system handles irregular shapes with ease Folds flat for compact storage or hanging on a wall Quick and tool-free setup and takedown Cons: Assembly out of the box takes a bit of time initially Not ideal for heavy industrial jobs — better suited for home DIY Surface area may be small for very large projects Overall, this is a brilliantly practical and well-built workbench for hobbyists, home renovators, or anyone needing a portable solution without compromising stability. It’s saved me time, space, and hassle on countless jobs.

Excellent product, exactly as described. My favorite co-worker since day one! I can't believe I have been using tables, chairs, wood blocks, stones, etc. during all my projects in and outside of the house all those years. This workmate replaces all of them, is strong and sturdy, and can easily be stored aside. Top!

Outstanding workbench. Material is top quality as befitting the brand name, very easy and quick to assemble. Very versatile for storage and operating - comes with 4 x 360 degree clamps that can grip even rounded surfaces well, and a very simple and effective tightening mechanism

sipariş hızli ve iyi paketlenmiş geldi, o yönden sıkıntı yok. kurulumu yapıp kullanmaya başladım. üzerine iş parçası sabitleyip tank zımpara yapmaya başladım. tank zımpara güçlü olduğu için tezgah hareket etmeye başladı. ayağımla sabitleyip çalışayım dedim markanın yazılı olduğu plaka yamuldu. bauhaus dan yarı fiyatına aldığım çok daha sağlam çıktı.

Rapide et superbe ,faut un peu chercher pour ajuster sinon ça va bien

Trotts att monteringsanvisningen är under all kritik, så är den helt värt sitt pris
