Folding workbenches

Compare the working surface and clamping arrangement with the projects you plan to support. A folding workbench, a sawhorse and a platform can share similar shopping titles while serving different purposes. The stated load limit should be read with the manufacturer’s conditions, including how the load is distributed. For a small workshop, check folded dimensions as carefully as working height: a bench that suits the job still needs to fit through the doorway and into its storage space.

MATCH THE DETAILS TO YOUR JOB

What to check before buying

  1. Check working height, top dimensions and maximum clamping opening against the intended workpieces.
  2. Confirm the stated load capacity and its conditions for the exact bench rather than a similar-looking sawhorse.
  3. Compare folded size, total weight and carrying arrangement with your available storage and transport space.
  4. Read which clamps, pegs or other accessories are included and whether replacements use a specific fitting.
