Draper Portable Folding Work Bench | Dual Clamping Action | 12 Holes for Work Clamping Dogs | Heavy Duty Steel Frame | 68027

Tbh ,I wasn't expecting much for £25 but this workbench is surprisingly good ,ok it's not as good as a genuine workmate but on the plus side it's not as heavy and cumbersome, its easy to bolt together,took 20 min to assemble, I would say if you want just a lightweight bench you can't go wrong with this , I would definitely recommend this product

I bought this workbench for some light woodwork whilst refurbishing my new house, such as holding wood for planing, sawing & drilling etc. It's also extremely useful for clamping my sharpening stone while honing chisels!The bench took about half an hour to put together, although like other reviewers, I found the instructions a bit hard to follow. It would have been nice if some large pictures and/or drawings of the fully assembled unit had been included, and maybe even an exploded diagram, to help understand how the various parts fit together. However, I managed ok by referring to the instructions & the photos on the box. The leg assemblies are conveniently labelled 'L' and 'R', which is a great help.The bench is easy to use, and doesn't wobble about on the floor. You can either clamp your work directly in the jaws, or use the dogs provided which fit into various holes in the worktop. There's a protractor printed on the front worktop, although I'm not entirely sure what this is for! There's also a ruler along the front edge. One point to note about the ruler & protractor- don't use solvents to clean the worktops! I used some acetone to clean a spill, and it smudged the lettering.After you've finished, the workbench folds up neatly, and it's nice and light to carry around- this was the main feature I was looking for, as I've had workbenches in the past which weighed a ton! I wouldn't like to use the MDF worktops for anything heavy, such as hammering in nails, or heavy chiselling, and I certainly wouldn't want to stand on the bench, as I suspect the tops might fracture quite easily, especially with all those holes, as others have also pointed out! But for light work it should be absolutely fine, and should last a long time.

It took me about 10 minutes to read the instructions carefully, identify and check all the parts were present, then I assembled it - total time under an hour as it is very straightforward. A wrench is supplied but you also need a basic Phillips type screwdriver. It is very sturdy and simple to fold away and open. It's a bit lighter than I expected so it's very easy to lift and move about. It is ideal for the few DIY jobs around the house and the bit of woodworking I have planned. If that weren't enough to please - it really is amazing for the price. Very pleased.

Have just finished assembling the workbench. Process went fairly smoothly although the supplied spanner is pretty useless when tightening nuts at the end.It was a bit disconcerting when a hidden screw and small plate fell out from one of the 'Top frames'. This isn't mentioned anywhere I can see in the user manual but it appears that it might just be a means of restraining the 'Crank handles' when unassembled workbench is in transit.I now have a sturdy workbench, albeit with one 'Top frame' still having the screw and small plate above in place and now not that easy to remove.

This is cracking value for money. Simple instructions and took 15 mins to assemble. Very sturdy and worth every penny.

Product excellent good brand name,delivery was awful package was opened and taped up driver said the first one sent out for delivery had parts missing and needed to be recorded that's why it took so long 😡

The workbench had one bolt missing and the cross stays, when erected, seem a little flimsy, hence the 4 star rating. Otherwise the bench is good value for what it is.

very easy to assemble very sturdy and solid I am impressed with my purchase

It takes 15 mins to assemble, you just need one bigger Philips (cross) screwdriver. For this price, it's great.

Super, molto bello funziona alla grande molto resistente e comodo

La boîte est arrivée scotchée… donc avait déjà été ouverte… des visses et boulons un peu partout… j’espère que tout y sera. Et la feuille d’assemblage est juste un texte, pas de dessin… débrouillez vous.Plus jamais et ça sent le retour…

ottimo prodotto, semplice ma estremamente funzionale

X noi hobbisti nn può mancare lo raccomando
