Very useful piece of kit for home projects

We'd had one of these workmates for many years already, but needed another one for a bigger project. They are versatile and very useful for home projects. Simple, well made, very quick and easy to do the initial assembly, very easy to operate and adjust. They provide a variety of options to secure your workpiece to them, however you will most probably need additional clamps, to ensure you can secure a wider variety of sizes. Note that this workmate is suitable for working with small to medium-size parts - if you have larger parts, you may need another workmate (still saves space in storage, as compared to a large workbench), or if you are working with small items, you may need appropriate vice and smaller clamps.

Best of luck

This is an old design that still works well, however the instruction manual is so bad, you have to guess how to assemble it by trial and error.Be patient, maybe get help, because if you do get it together it will do the job well!Read full review...

An extra pair of hands to make the job easy.

Best "TOOL" ever bought. Took years to purchase this product, thought about it many times but always postponed an actual purchase. Realize now how much easier life could have been. Less accidents, mishaps etc. The original designer should have been Knighted! Read full review...

B&D workbench.

This bench is well made from good quality materials and does what it is meant to do with no fuss. It folds down easily to a compact size, is easily transportable and convenient to store. It unfolds with no fuss and provides a stable working surface. Works efficiently and is easy to clean. Top marks.Read full review...

Workmate 536

536 is the width of the unit. Its a basic one, no fancy gimmicks, it just does exactly what it says on the tin. Its smaller than im used to, but that makes it more portable and easier to store than its counterparts, which is perfect as I have limited space at home but also need to take it to work at times. I'm happy.Read full review...

An essential DIY product.

My previous - near identical workmate- lasted 20years! This is an adequate replacement but doesn't seem as sturdy or as strong as it's predecessor. That said and now in my seventies it does not disappoint and I can manhandle it without harming myself!Read full review...

Great product at really good price

I was watching second hand ones of these and then noticed how cheap they were new. For just over £40 this is incredible value, it's lighter than my old blue one and much easier to user service parts or replace anything that breaks. It feels just as strong and stable and it's a whole lot easier to put up and down. I'm really happy with it and hope to get years of service out of it.Read full review...

Well worth the money.


The item I have just purchased above was one of the best things that I have purchased.I was so pleased that the base was already assembled and all I had to do was fix the wooden vice jaws together,It took me quite a while to figure out,But it all went very smoothly after studying it for about ten minutes.And the quality is first class.I am so pleased.Read full review...

Should have bought one years ago!

Great quality work bench, very useful like a second pair of hands and with dual height. Really sturdy bit of kit and easy to put up and down. Brilliant.

Perfect all rounder

I've always had one of these workmates. My previous two,like me, became old and worn out. Recently retired, I treated myself to a new one. Never considered any other make as this bench has done me proud for over forty years.Read full review...
