The Black & Decker Workmate Project Center might just be the item you need to make your home shop complete. Its versatility makes it an especially ideal choice for those with limited shop floor space: use it as a workbench, a bench tool stand, a vise, or a sawhorse, then quickly break it down and store it out of the way. Because it's lightweight and portable, you can move it conveniently wherever it's needed. The one-handed vise clamp system, with its exclusive clutch design, provides quick and easy clamping. The Workmate also features an extra block to expand your work surface, four swivel pegs, and an adjustable front jaw that swings up for vertical clamping. Its legs fold under to provide the lower height and stability needed when you're using it as a base for bench tools, and its all-steel construction and rubber feet ensure a stable, strong work surface that supports up to 550 pounds. All in all, we were pretty impressed. With features like these, it's no wonder the Workmate is a popular choice for light-duty and home shop use. --Tim Block

 Don't buy this if you're expecting a quality product November 14, 2009
K. M. Cowan (Sarasota,FL United States)
I just finished putting this together. Once I was able to parse the sparsely-detailed instructions, it went together fairly quickly, with no 'extra' parts remaining. That's a plus.
However, I was very disappointed with the quality of the materials used to construct this product, and the overall design. With the exception of six bolts, the bench is held together with plastic fasteners that will lose integrity in a relatively short time-span, especially under heavy use. Cheap metal, particle board and plastic are poor choices for workbench fabrication. Personally, I wouldn't trust anything weighing anywhere near 500 pounds sitting on this bench. I really don't expect that it will last long.
On hindsight, the money would have been better spent on quality lumber and hardware.

Black & Decker did a very good job in putting this piece of equipment together. It is well laid out and easy to use and you don't have to be a gorilla to move it from one place to another. Another nice feature is that you can break it down, fold it up and store it in a very small space. I use these in my shop all the time.

Good product when I eventually got it assembled,a piece of the bench top had not been correctly drilled, but give them credit, when I called the about it a replacement was sent right away.
A nice sturdy work bench.

 A versatile and essential workbench for anyone October 22, 2009

The workmate is a great product. It is easy to assemble, sturdy, and easy to use. The workmate folds down quickly to store away or take on the go. The vertical clamp allows you to hold just about anything down. The center panel is removable and is a great spot to attach another tool. I attached a dremel vise to the center panel, allowing me to quickly add or remove by simply removing the center panel. This is a great work bench to have if you are on the go or have limited space.
Good for its purposes October 5, 2009

It's built fairly decently. It's not like the one I had from 15 years ago which feels sturdier than this one. However, I bought this for my son and it does well for him. It serves his purpose of cutting various pieces of wood, holding objects in place as he works on them, and the adjustability is a great feature because he is able to clamp down various sizes of wood. The folding feature of the table is excellent because it has a small footprint when everything is folded in. I'd recommend it in general. But if you are looking for a true workhorse of a bench, this may not be the best out there for you.
