Got one of these "A Workmate it ain't. But o.k. for light work."

Got a similar one from Screwfix - as mentioned above it is not a Workmate but great for light work.

Pretty generic, I have a draper branded one that cost £10. just to echo the other comments, not a workmate but very useful for light use and surprisingly sturdy. I've just used mine as a bench for each half of a stable door whilst they were being sanded and refinished.

If you want to compare this to a Workmate you have to
specify which Workmate. The WM525 for instance is good and sturdy whilst the
WM301 is pathetic. These generic copies are better than the WM301.
The stability of this type of workbench can be greatly increased
if you add diagonal brace.

Thinking of getting something for sawing and painting fence and shed panels and timbers. till now have been doing this on the grass with a double of blocks of wood to raise panel of post off the ground. Or against the hedge. But it's getting wetter as summer is over. Is two of these as good if not better than getting a couple of saw horses, like the ones in Aldi currently at £20?

The Aldi saw horses are definitely better for sawing on and more stable but lack the ability to hold items whilst sawing or planing or chiseling items that will fit that you might want to do at a later date. Stability with these will decrease the more you use them. The choice is yours.

Get a couple of the Saw horses and probably 4 x 8" or bigger quick clamps. Works fine for me, though I fudge it with only 2 clamps. Should buy more.

Make sure you buy 2. One is not good enough. Very flimsy. I purchased 2 last time and it is perfect.
