do i need one?no
will i end up buying one? yes
:confused:

Both of mine bend. Am I some sort of freak?

Cracking find op, heat added :smiley:

great find thanks very much :-)

very nice

Amazing stuff.... Got one

Thanks

Bought last time at £12 and very pleased, light enough to move about and strong enough to be of value. Currently have my tile cutting machine on it for the bathroom project. If you need it - get one :-)

Anyone know how much postage is

Fantastic timing - just been thinking I need a workbench 8-) Thanks OP.

Good deal

Thanks good deal on time

I nearly bought 2 last time but resisted, not this time :smiley:
Thanks OP

Ordered two.

Nice find' hottt.

do i need one?no
will i end up buying one? yes
:confused:

Debatable saving as it's only a basic bench, but a very good buy for the average diy user.

So are these normally £12.99 ???? If so why so hot on the saving ?

Thanks have just ordered one online :smile: .

Yep cheapest about !!!!!! Got 2

Thanks! picked up two as a Christmas present for both my dad who has always been a DIY enthusiast and my soon to be step dad who is a loft fitter/carpenter, cheap as chips and a nice big present to go under the tree. gotta get decent presents when you see them. although i will buy them other stuff its nice to know i have a present for them already.

Anti-Slip Rubber Feet and Swivel Pegs are worth this olone

I bought one last time, yet it took me well over an hour to assemble with all the right tools and electric screwdriver. I say you get what you pay for. It does a basic job when it's up but still feels wobbly. Reminds me of Meccano when I was a kid!

One of my legs bent... but so does everyones apparently :wink:

Excellent deal, paid $20 a while back for this. Perfectly good for diy lightweight work

Good.

Had one of these for over 10 years now just about to replace the MDF jaws with some surplus I have well abused mine but still operates well, started to replace the feet with timber inserts as i've used mine as a hopup so the metal has cut through the plastic rubber feet paid similar price too.

Christmas shopping started - just over 3 months folks!

bought , thanks for posting

these are excellent value. I got two to act as saw horse and workbenches. despite some of the comments on the site regarding the product and it's assembly. the bench is actually relatively easy to assemble and sturdy enough. you need to use clamps for any kind of wood or metal work. @9.99 it's a no brainier. I bought them when they were £12.99

are the jaws MDF?

Thanks got one.

Anyone who has one of these, how are they for use. Would you ever need to use two in conjunction with each other or is one usually adequate?
Hoping to start a few pallet projects

Brill thank you, got this as a "stocking filler" for my 11 year old DIY mad son! God knows where we will hide it though!

great price, for something I might need at some distant point in the future

pretty good price for this one

Good price, but these are very flimsy, so only good for small/light work.

Thanks just ordered 2.

I call BS on the it being able to support 100kg :smiley: I own one of these under a different brand and it's basically cheap tinny steel with laminated chip board. You can do the odd job on this but it's not a worktable by any means. Also remember to glue the feet on as they drop off all the time and it's annoying.

Good for putting garden fireworks in the vice grip :stuck_out_tongue:

Depends on which way... :confused:

Take it these will be handy for cutting laminate flooring ?

MUCH better.

I had Workmate WM301 and this. This bench is much better, more stable and sturdy. Purchased last month for £13, well happy and is perfect for cutting MDF. Workmate returned.

oh well, his current one is a wood bench type thing which it looks like he has had for over 20 years, but either way its a present fits a person well and its nice and big, and he is currently doing up the house he and my mum brought so im sure it will be of some use.

'Much' is over selling it, a little bity perhaps.

I would sincerely hope any PROFESSIONAL tradesman would not be using a £10 workbench...

I've stood on mine and I weigh 70kg. The top of mine is bamboo not chipboard. If yours is another brand how do you know it's the same?

Bamboo :laughing:

Perfect for a DIY made 9 year old who currently saws things (under supervision!) on the floor outside our front door!

+20% I'd say! 120g vs 100g.

Yes the top is Bamboo.
"Bamboo has a higher compressive strength than wood, brick, or concrete and a tensile strength that rivals steel"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo
So now it's my turn to :laughing:

As usual no stock anywhere, it's an old trick. Get people to convince themselves they need it because of the price, then they will take one at a higher price, because they now need it :smiley:

now cold - no stock

Ordered. Love a bargain. :sunglasses:

damn... you... don't need it... but bought 2.... arrgghhhh

out of stock at local and surrounding. was looking forward to doing some BIY

2.7 out of 5 from 6 ratings...

Yeah, mine is around 5 years old as I picked it up from Asda for £10 one christmas. Also I was refering to the cheap easily bent mild steel legs and not the chipboard. Spot loading the workbench by standing on it isn't the same as distributing 100KG across the whole bench and more likely to collaspe it as distribute you weight by moving.

I'm pretty sure that the box for it had drawings specifically referring to not using it as a step ladder so why did you feel the need to stand on it and not use a step ladder ? :confused:

Seem to be plenty of stock in the Merseyside area.
For any one wanting a workbench thats very variable in its use and with £70 worth a look at a JCB Workmate that won best invention in a BBC program in 2009... http://www.diy.com/departments/jcb-workmate-foldable-speed-clamp-workframe-w190mm/601114_BQ.prd

All sold out in Liverpool. Not able to reserve one anywhere :-(

Bought it @£12.99, it's really good

Just bought the last one in Dover.

Just about to go and pick mine up in Leeds - what's the betting they've sold it to someone else... Probably someone on here :confused:

nice :wink:

Thanks awfully for your concern :smile:.
Not really sure how that comment is relevant though.

Just built mine today, it's a very good deal for £10! Should be good enough for all my DIY needs.

Thanks op.

It's health and safety :stuck_out_tongue: it's always relevant :smile:

Also just built mine and used for first job with a jig saw. Perfect for the job. Good and sturdy if all bolts and screws tightened well. Thanks OP!

Well the metal work is exactly the same as the screwfix one..... and the screwfix one has a bamboo top, which I was extremely surprised (and happy) about.
