Its compact fold-flat design and quick setup make it ideal for on-the-go projects and space-conscious workshops. ## Description The Workmate allows you to fix the piece you are working on to the workbench so that you can work on it with both hands without the risk of it moving during the application. This workbench holds securely virtually any materials up to 115 mm in width and weighting up to 160 kg. Thanks to its dual clamping cranks, you can work on irregular shaped items and, together with adjustable swivel pegs and jaw retention grooves, the workbench delivers even higher clamping versatility and reliable material hold. Durable steel frame construction makes the workbench robust and sturdy. In addition, workbench legs have rubber, anti-slip feet fitted to avoid any risk of slippage when force is applied during the application. The WM301 is lightweight and compact and can be folded flat, making it easy to store it and convenient to transport. It is easy to set up and quick to clean up not requiring any additional maintenance. ## Features - VERSATILITY TO GET THE JOB DONE: This versatile work bench is your go-to helping hand for various tasks.

Ideal for on-the-go projects—easily transport this work bench wherever you need it, or store it away without taking up valuable space. Plus, it's light and compact enough when folded to hang on the wall in your garage, shed, or workshop for an even greater space saving solution. - STURDY STEEL CONSTRUCTION: Made of durable steel with a compressed bamboo work surface, this sturdy garage workbench provides a stable and reliable work surface for you to sand, saw, drill, paint, or perform any other home DIY activities where a steady workshop bench is required.

What I mean is that my workmate is at the heart of my limited space so we aren't just looking at a large jaw to hold whatever. I have a 6" vice clamped to the back board of the Workmate and 4 x Irwin 300Ib clamps and 2 x Irwin 600Ib clamps as additions. So, with all the holes to drop chisels in the unit becomes a bench for all types of work . . . making it a work horse. I mention the above for those only thinking of the basic use when a Workmate is so much more. This unit has the lifting front which might be of use in the future. The one handed thingy is ok but not too reliable . . . something I'm not bothered about. More important: No problem tightening the jaws if you move your index finger around the shank and not try and snap the orange handle off by putting all pressure just on that . . . although replacements are cheap enough. With its splayed legs the unit is as solid as a rock when planing. Summing up: If you want a Workmate which is going to be thrashed around a work site buy a cheaper one. If you are looking for the beginnings of your work system buy this one. P.S. Yes, I have read the comments about the build quality of the steel section but haven't a clue what they are talking about. **Q: How do I assemble the top sections. there apears to be no place to screw the rear section to and no reses in the frount board to alow for the coller o** A: This video should help...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAoL14J_T_o **Q: Is this strong enough to hold wood block tight and carve?** A: It is my belief that this product would be strong enough to hold a wood block for carving purposes. We managed to assemble the B/D Workmate and had some help from a YouTube clip. I am pleased with my Workmate and it sees quite a bit of service. **Q: Can anyone comment on whether you can rest (or need to) your foot on the bottom horizontal support to enhance the sturdiness? Thanks.** A: Hi there , I find you need to when sawing with a hand saw , Although the cross members are only a couple of mm they are folded & held in place with 4 nuts & bolts each . I hope this helps ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good bench but..ohh those terrible introductions! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 July 2026* First job is tear up the instructions and go on YouTube for help.Many people are finding those drawings more than useless.Otherwise a tidy strong bench for light to medium weight jobs.Should last well if looked after. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the money *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 August 2026* Easy to assemble.
