The Workmate 225 might be what's missing from your home shop. 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; when the job's done, you can quickly break it down and store it out of the way. (Try that with a regular workbench!) Its portability is no small advantage: essentially, the Workmate lets you move your shop wherever you need it. The Workmate's legs fold under to provide the lower height and stability needed for use as a base for bench tools. Its all-steel construction and rubber feet ensure a stable, strong work surface that supports up to 450 pounds. And its independently adjustable jaws have two swivel pegs each, allowing you to hold almost anything. The Workmate 225 is Black & Decker's intro model. They also offer the Workmate 550, which is a little burlier, has a nice clamping device, and is more expensive. For light-duty, home shop use, though, the Workmate 225 is an excellent choice. --Tim Block

Black & Decker WM225 Workmate 225 450 Pound Capacity Portable Work Bench Reviews
My husband and I have used this item many times it is sturdy and made our work much easier.Amazon got it to us in great time and I would order from Amazon in the future
It will take an indredible amount of punishment. I have owned one for over 25 years and my son asked for one for Christmas. You can't miss. This is a very usefull tool. It folds and stores easily. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is tight on space to a person who has a 6 car workshop. It is very stabile and holds items securely.
They finally gave up and sent me to a local service center. However, they did figure out the right parts and got them to me (after wanting me to pay for them, which I refused). Then they could not find any documentation for this product in their database, so they guessed and sent me the wrong parts. They first stated that items sold through Amazon.com were not guaranteed. That also took multiple calls - they didn't even answer the phone the first time. I'm working on a fairly large project that has taken many weekends, and the Workmate has been an extremely useful tool that has saved me many hours. They backed down on that stance quickly. This product arrived missing the vice screws.
I placed multiple calls to Black & Decker customer service to get this resolved. I highly recommend the product - just cross your fingers and hope that it arrives with all parts. The product itself is great. Repeat phone calls ensued, each time with the argument that products sold through Amazon are not guaranteed.
I have handled 10 foot pieces of lumber without a problem. The assembly is simple, although the instructions are inadequate in size and detail. I recommend the B&D workbench. Skeptical having read the reviews of this product, I am pleasantly surprised by its performance. I ended up looking at the large photo of the assembled product on the outside of the packing box and that made the process easy. Storage is simple and it takes up little space. I did not find the plastic handles on the turnscrews to be flimsy.
