Review: Good bench. Bad Instructions - Im giving 5 stars for the assembled bench. BUT, putting it together was a pain. The instructions are very vague. Only pictures to go by, and not very detailed. Trial and error, but eventually got there.
Review: Fantastic - This product is the best desertcart purchase I have ever made. The Workmate is fantastic, I found it to be incredibly helpful when recently making some gates and it is currently supporting a sculpture I am constructing. The clamp jaws are sturdy, and the pegs allow you to clamp irregular shapes. I have used this Workmate to saw, chisel and sand wood it proved to be a sturdy platform which held the work piece securely. The framework is made from robust powder-coated steel and the bamboo jaws seem very durable. There are a few plastic parts (the bits for clamping irregular shapes and the ends of the handles) but even these seem very solid and the plastic clamps are less likely to leave marks on softer materials when you secure them. I was in two minds about purchasing this product after reading the mixed reviews, but I am very glad I did. I generally don't leave reviews but I felt that the one-star reviews were very unfair and this motivated me to post this. At £35 (although the price does seem to fluctuate up to £50) this product is incredibly good value, especially when you consider the durable steel construction and how useful it is. I found this product to be so useful that I asked for another for Christmas, and was very happy and grateful when I received it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good bench. Bad Instructions
*by L***A on 24 March 2026*

Im giving 5 stars for the assembled bench. BUT, putting it together was a pain. The instructions are very vague. Only pictures to go by, and not very detailed. Trial and error, but eventually got there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic
*by M***N on 26 December 2016*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does its job but B&D quality not what it was.
*by D***E on 29 August 2017*

I have written hundreds of reviews in regards to items sold through Amazon. The good, the bad and, sometimes, the ugly This review is based on my personal opinions gleaned as a result of decades of experiences in a professional occupation, using firearms for close to fifty years, outdoor pursuits, DIY, as a consumer, a property owner and raising a family. REVIEW This Black and Decker 536 is sold As a prime item through Amazon at a cost of £39.40 (August 2017) Includes delivery for prime members Prime items come with a promise of next day delivery. You cannot rely on the next day delivery promise. There is no indication as to any potential additional postage charges for non prime members. The bench was delivered quickly. The instructions with the bench are useless. The diagrams do not have enough detail to make it at all easy to work out what is what. Fortunately, I have had a number of such benches over the years and a lot of practical experience in assembling all manner of equipment. It is not absolutely essential to have a third hand but it will make assembly substantially easier. The bench itself is reasonably well made although the finish is not as clean as I would like it to be Several of the parts of the metallic legs are deeply scratched and have sharp edges. The springs on the closing part of the bench are very thin, lightweight and I have NO confidence that they will last. I believe they will be the first item to fail on the bench. The "legs" which make the bench dual height snap into place firmly but are reliant on plastic components which are also likely to fail due to wear and tear. The "vice" will do it's job to hold some items. The plug in plastic holders are also of a lesser quality than those I have had with B&D benches in the past. Bear in mind that they are a hardened plastic which have No padding and likely to mark wood and the design is such that work, unless very shallow will not be held in place for anything rigorous. Sanding or planing as examples, especially with power tools. The bench is however stable enough to use with appropriate clamps to allow completion of such jobs. Overall, the bench will do its basic job. The adjustable height is handy if you want to work on a taller item but not starting at floor level. This, at Amazon was the best value I could find. I hope that this review has been of assistance to you the potential buyer. If so please click on the useful review Thank you. DD
