Review: Better than the more expensive version - This is a sturdy and simple bench. The height is ideal and the price is much better than the 2 x height more complicated version also by B&D. Now I've had both I would go for this uncomplicated model every time. It folds up very slim so will not protrude into your working space when stored. This comes as a kit of parts that need constructing before use. You will need a cross head screwdriver and either a hammer or water pump pliers to either hit or squeeze the pins in to hold the winding handles on.
Review: A good useful product - A good product which will be useful time and time again. It's sturdy and adaptable and for the DIY enthusiasts will be useful on many different occasions. . The only improvement I think is needed is the instructions which are vague and difficult to understand.

- VERSATILITY TO GET THE JOB DONE: This versatile work surface is your go-to helping hand for various tasks. For use as a sawhorse, workbench or vise it provides a solid worktop for cutting, measuring or assembling projects—any task where you need a sturdy surface or a helpful clamp to free up both your hands.
- FOLDABLE DESIGN: The Workmate 301 folds flat for easy storage, and its compact design makes it easy to transport and to stow when not in use. This makes it ideal for on-the-go projects—easy to take wherever you need it, or store it away without taking up valuable space. Plus, it's light and compact enough when folded to hang on the wall in your garage, shed, or workshop for an even greater space saving solution.

This ensures your projects are supported by a strong, long-lasting bench you can depend on for all your DIY tasks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the deluxe version actually better than the original one and is it worth the extra money?**
A: I would say, yes, but like so many things it depends on what you are looking for.
What I mean is that my workmate is at the heart of my limited space so we aren't just looking at a large jaw to hold whatever.
I have a 6" vice clamped to the back board of the Workmate and 4 x Irwin 300Ib clamps and 2 x Irwin 600Ib clamps as additions. 
So, with all the holes to drop chisels in the unit becomes a bench for all types of work . . . making it a work horse.
I mention the above for those only thinking of the basic use when a Workmate is so much more.
This unit has the lifting front which might be of use in the future.
The one handed thingy is ok but not too reliable . . . something I'm not bothered about.
More important:
No problem tightening the jaws if you move your index finger around the shank and not try and snap the orange handle off by putting all pressure just on that . . . although replacements are cheap enough.
With its splayed legs the unit is as solid as a rock when planing.
Summing up:
If you want a Workmate which is going to be thrashed around a work site buy a cheaper one.
If you are looking for the beginnings of your work system buy this one.
P.S. Yes, I have read the comments about the build quality of the steel section but haven't a clue what they are talking about.

**Q: How do I assemble the top sections. there apears to be no place to screw the rear section to and no reses in the frount board to alow for the coller o**
A: This video should help...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAoL14J_T_o

**Q: Is this strong enough to hold wood block tight and carve?**
A: It is my belief that this product would be strong enough to hold a wood block for carving purposes.  We managed to assemble the B/D Workmate and had some help from a YouTube clip.  I am  pleased with my Workmate and it sees quite a bit of service.

**Q: Can anyone comment on whether you can rest (or need to) your foot on the bottom horizontal support to enhance the sturdiness? Thanks.**
A: Hi there , I find you need to when sawing with a hand saw , Although the cross members are only a couple of mm they are folded & held in place with 4 nuts & bolts each . I hope this helps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Instructions Cause Unnecessary Confusion
*by I***R on 10 November 2025*

Good product and excellent value for money. However the assembly instructions are very poor and the diagrams make them even worse due to the print size. Word of warning … make sure you engage the long threads in the main frame before securing the handles with the supplied fixing pins.
