- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2025Style Name: Dual Height WorkmateVerified PurchaseThe BLACK+DECKER Workmate is a game-changer for any DIY enthusiast or professional. Its dual-height feature is incredibly practical, allowing me to use it as both a sturdy workbench and a reliable sawhorse. The heavy-duty steel frame can handle significant weight without wobbling, making it perfect for cutting, sanding, and assembling projects.
The clamping system is one of the standout features—it securely holds materials of various sizes, ensuring precision and safety during use. Setting it up and folding it away is straightforward, and its compact, foldable design makes it easy to store when not in use.
I’ve used it for everything from woodworking to minor repairs, and it has held up exceptionally well. The durability and versatility are impressive, especially at this price point.
Pros:
Dual-height design for added flexibility.
Heavy-duty construction for stability and durability.
Easy to set up, fold, and store.
Versatile clamping system for secure material handling.
I rate this product 10 out of 10
A reliable and versatile workbench that’s perfect for a wide range of tasks. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their workspace!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2024Style Name: Dual Height WorkmateVerified PurchaseThis is a good, basic workmate. It is light but strong despite that. It folds well and hangs on my workshop wall very tidily. It has a metal framework, cleverly designed and made to take quite heavy items and withstand hard work. The jaws are made of a tough bamboo and seem really durable. I did have a more expensive model that allowed the jaws to be adjusted in parallel by just using one handle but .. that was it’s weakness in that the plastic tape that equalised the opening / closing function wasn’t very strong.
Delighted with this. So much so, I bought one for my son!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2017Style Name: Dual Height WorkmateVerified PurchaseI have written hundreds of reviews in regards to items sold through Amazon. The good, the bad and, sometimes, the ugly
This review is based on my personal opinions gleaned as a result of decades of experiences in a professional occupation, using firearms for close to fifty years, outdoor pursuits, DIY, as a consumer, a property owner and raising a family.
REVIEW
This Black and Decker 536 is sold As a prime item through Amazon at a cost of £39.40 (August 2017)
Includes delivery for prime members
Prime items come with a promise of next day delivery.
You cannot rely on the next day delivery promise.
There is no indication as to any potential additional postage charges for non prime members.
The bench was delivered quickly.
The instructions with the bench are useless. The diagrams do not have enough detail to make it at all easy to work out what is what.
Fortunately, I have had a number of such benches over the years and a lot of practical experience in assembling all manner of equipment.
It is not absolutely essential to have a third hand but it will make assembly substantially easier.
The bench itself is reasonably well made although
the finish is not as clean as I would like it to be
Several of the parts of the metallic legs are deeply scratched and have sharp edges.
The springs on the closing part of the bench are very thin, lightweight and I have NO confidence that they will last.
I believe they will be the first item to fail on the bench.
The "legs" which make the bench dual height snap into place firmly but are reliant on plastic components which are also likely to fail due to wear and tear.
The "vice" will do it's job to hold some items.
The plug in plastic holders are also of a lesser quality than those I have had with B&D benches in the past.
Bear in mind that they are a hardened plastic which have No padding and likely to mark wood and the design is such that work, unless very shallow will not be held in place for anything rigorous.
Sanding or planing as examples, especially with power tools.
The bench is however stable enough to use with appropriate clamps to allow completion of such jobs.
Overall, the bench will do its basic job. The adjustable height is handy if you want to work on a taller item but not starting at floor level.
This, at Amazon was the best value I could find.
I hope that this review has been of assistance to you the potential buyer. If so please click on the useful review
Thank you. DD
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2024Style Name: Dual Height WorkmateVerified PurchaseGreat thing to use very strong and effective
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2021Style Name: Dual Height Workmate PlusVerified PurchaseLike most of my older generation, I have had a trusty workmate for 25-30 years. Although still perfectly usable, I decided to give it a dignified retirement and spend £69 on a WM626. Based on the theory that in the past products were made to a quality, whereas now they are simply made to a price, and most other reviews saying it is very flimsy, requiring full assembly, with indecipherable instructions, my expectations were not that high.
Contrary to the above, the whole frame was fully assembled, and a bag containing a dozen or so parts was all that needed self assembly. The instructions could have been understood by a strategically shaved monkey, why would you write a paragraph explaining how to insert a bolt into a hole, when a picture of a bolt with an arrow pointing to the hole is quite sufficient. The assembly took no more than ten minutes, and this included drinking a cup of tea.
The pressed steel metal frame was more than sturdy enough, and although possibly marginally thinner gauge than my previous workmate, would be more than adequate for all household tasks.
I cannot understand why anyone would want a workmate in the first place if they could not get their head around a few simple self assembly parts. They are quite obviously not cut out for DIY.
In conclusion, for £69 more than happy with this product.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 October 2024Style Name: Dual Height WorkmateVerified PurchaseIf it lasts 60 years like the last one it will be well worth the money.

WakkawakkaReviewed in Germany on 2 December 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars Passt, steht, funktioniert
Die Workmate 1000 (WM1k) dient bei mir als Zusatzwerkbank neben einer großen, die fest verbaut ist. Ich wollte eine weitere Bank haben, die halbwegs mobil ist und an der man "rundherum" arbeiten kann (bei längeren oder größeren Werkstücken).
Positiv:
+ Für eine mobile Werkbank ziemlich stabil, die wichtigen Teile sind aus Metall
+ Klappmechanismus arbeitet super und ist sehr komfortabel (einen Kopf zeiehn, drehen, Bank auf- oder zuklappen, rastet ein, steht)
+ Arbeitsplatte ist aus mehrlagigem Bambus, daher sehr hart und langlebig (bisher jedenfalls)
+ Arbeitsplatten besitzen eine Einfräsung, so dass auch Rohre gut gehalten werden, wenn die Platten gegeneinander gezogen werden
+ Zusammengeklappt benötigt sie weniger Platz und kann gut verstaut werden
Neutral:
o Die Arbeitsplatten sind nicht 100%ig eben zueinander; bei meinem Modell ca. 0,5 mm vertikaler Abstand (mich stört das eigentlich nicht)
o Die Spannkraft der Arbeitsplatten ist nicht besonders hoch; als Schraubstockersatz sind sie wohl auch nicht gedacht
Negativ:
- Die aufgedruckte Bemaßung ist unbrauchbar; ich denke eher, dass der Druck aufgebracht worden ist, weil sonst die Platten so leer ausgesehen hätten; wer genau messen will oder muss ist auf jeden Fall auf einen guten Zollstock/Schieblehre/Winkelmaß angewiesen; das war mir persönlich aber vorher klar (kein Grund für Punktabzug).
- Kleinigkeit: Der Haken, der die Bank in auf- oder zugeklapptem Zustand arretiert, passt nicht immer genau. Ausserdem wird an der Stelle mit der Zeit der Lack abgekratzt
Fazit: Wer nur ab und zu etwas werkelt oder die Bank für den mobilen (Hobby)Einsatz möchte, ist hier gut augehoben. Natürlich stößt die Bank alleine schon durch ihre Größe und Gewicht an Grenzen - 3m lange Dielen sollte man damit nicht verarbeiten, aber die WM1k ist deutlich solider und durchdachter, als die billigen Konkurrenzbänkchen für 30 Euro. Ich würde sie wieder kaufen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bisher Zufrieden
Style Name: Dual Height Workmate PlusVerified PurchaseFür meine Arbeiten am und im Haus ist die Werkbank von Black und Decker bestens geeignet. Wollte kein Nonameprodukt kaufen, da man dann bekanntlich 2x kauft.
Ich finde die Konstruktion recht robust. Die Werkbank ist mit bis zu 250KG belastbar. Gerade deswegen interessant wenn man bedenkt, dass günstigere Modelle meist nur bis ca. 150KG belastbar sind. Die verwendeten Materialien sind absolut in Ordnung. Würde die Bank hier wieder kaufen. Für Heimwerker nur zu empfehlen. Sie stand mir bereits jetzt schon mehrmals helfend zur Seite.
