Difficlut to Assemble

Strengths: Not too heavy

Weakness: Cheap parts that don't fit

I agree with the previous post, that these parts are bad.

Bought this to help while I lay down some hard wood flooring. The plastic parts are all so flimsy. Even the plastic handle broke off when trying to assemble. Btw, during assembly you are instructed to hammer a metal pin, threw a plastic pin hole inorder to attach the orange handle. Even after lining it up, the metal pin is too large and this is extremely difficult to do.

I'll be returning this asap.

Black & Decker Workmate

Strengths: Great wood boards and easy to put together.

Weakness: A little flimsy for heavy jobs.

This workmate is great for mounting your miter saw or just using it as a workhorse. Easy to assemble and folds for easy storage. The adjustable boards allow for using it to cut small boards.

A nice work platform

Strengths: It is just the right size for small projects and folds for easy storage

Weakness: The plastic parts are a bit lacking in quality. The directions are hard to follow and the picture is confusing.

I really like this table for what it is....a lightweight helper for small projects far from my main work area. It gives a helping hand with projects that a a little too big for one person but too small for two people. I like the fact that the table folds for easy storage and is pretty sturdy yet lightweight. Bottom line this good helper but don't throw your permanent workbench away.

my favorite workbench (black & decker workmate 125)

Strengths: portable,easy to use ,versatile, good built quality

Weakness: not very durable,the manufacturer could have use a stronger wood or plastic material

I love this tool bench, I never expected that this will be used than my bigger size tool bench.
I like it so much and I'm buying a second one as a gift for my brother so he will have his own instead of borrowing mine.
It has a very clever design but the quality of the materials used is not very good,you to be careful
or it will break when working on a some heavier project.
The clamps provided are very useful, this is the feature that I Iike most.
I will recommend this to anyone specially who to those DIY people.

Handy workbench with decent quality

Strengths: Quick to lay out and use, fold flat for stowage

Weakness: wood quality is not as good, cheap plastic

I bought this for garage use. It has two wooden platform that clamp together by rotating the tow plastic handles. Great for small work and folds flat for storage. The wood chipped and the finish is only done on the top side. The plastic handle cracked and is not of good quality. Overall it is an okay bench for the price.

A handy portable work station

Strengths: Sturdy and portable, easy to store.

Weakness: None

This scaled down version of the venerable Workmate 425 is a great little helper. My main workbench is usually cluttered with the family's junk and it's a chore to clear space for a small project. This foldaway is always ready and the clamp action comes in handy more often than you'd think.
