Thanks for the review, I’ve had one for a few years now and when the professionals see it and use it they inevitably buy one. It’s very portable and stable and the only down side are the clamps - don’t over use! Regards Mike
I'm on my second one, had similar and now this one for about 4 years, really useful bit of kit. First one broke when I left a 75kg granite faceplate on it overnight. Don't overload them.
@@scottsparky1 Maybe it was because I deliberately put the faceplate over the top of just one of the legs, thinking that it would better help to support it. The plastic around the top of the leg cracked away. I came down to the garage the following morning to find everthing lying on the floor. I can't remember what make the table was now, there are a number of them identical other than the name, the new ones a Ketter. I might have been been better putting the faceplate in the middle of the table to support it more evenly and then maybe with it being on the table for 16 hours didn't help.
@@billdoodson4232 would've been best to lay something to spread the load evenly over the entire table, such as a wood plate of a couple cm thick, and the heavy object in the center.
I've had one for 5 years. I've been amused many a time, and drawn a small crowd on occasion when I set one up. Clamping around the edge is where it struggles a little, so I could do with filling in the underside with a few blocks. There is also a height adjustable version, but it doesn't seem to be available in this country. I bought one for easy storage, as it lives under my workbench at home, taking up little space. I also use it along side Toughbuilt sawhorses to create bigger workspaces as needed, but not taking up valuable storage space when not in use.
Just got this and the clamps seem to be fused closed. I have no idea how I'm supposed to move them. The manual gives no help whatsoever. I'm probably going to have to return it
Oh what do I but a Black and Decker work mate that will last a good Thifty year or more , or a plastic work bench that will be useless when the plastic locking latches break. Choices choices. I have my late father in-laws B&D Work mate that he bought from Woolworths in 1973 and it’s still going strong. Will that plastic thing las that long I doubt it very much. Nice bit of kit though.
I bought one of these and sold my 15 year old b&d workmate. The workmate was much heavier and awkward to store. Also rather ironically the plastic spring clips on some of the legs had broken!
I agree that a genuine Workmake is a great bit of kit, and will outlast one of these. However the Keter packs down to a thin slab which is easy to store, where the workmate is still rather bulky. If I had space, I would have the workmate. But I dont, so the Keter is better for me. But to saw/cut on the workmate with its footplate is hard to beat!
According to the spec I saw on some shop it supposedly holds up to 450kg, I wouldn't trust it with anything near that but if you lay a few 10kg weights on that bottom shelf then it might be stable enough for non-precision cutting.

The Holy Quran❗..👍👍👍🎧
Why are all benches made for people, that are 4 feet tall?
Love mine...had it for years and it still works perfectly.
Owned one for about 2 years, nice bit of kit.

Thanks for sharing your experience 👍

They recon they can take 453kg! Thought that was bollocks
Great feedback 😀
I have one and I've used it as platform to stand on and I weigh 100kg and it was completely fine.

I’ve owned one for a few years I’ve used it for many projects the little clamps failed but the table is still going strong it’s never let me down
Got two in the van, work great and not too expensive. Lots of other ones out there that are exactly the same, just different branding.
I've had that same bench from a different brand for 10 years now. It's definitely my go to!
Nice and easy demonstration 👍 worth a buy id say, nothing worse than packing all your equipment up when you're in a hurry
Forget this Keter one I've used it, Go for the toughbuilt one its different gravy
What's the tough build one?
"Toughbuilt" it's a brand. Google it
Great instructions on using the clamps!
Had one for a few months now. Hadn’t used the clamps yet as hadn’t realised they went into those rails 🤦♂️.. ingenuous
I’ve had one for around 4 years. Mac Alister from B&Q. Identical
got worried he was gonna have dewalt tools and the bench be a scam. but makita so ill buy!
😂
Bought a few different variations of portable benches & my fav is the Stanley
Very sturdy and versatile!
Bought one a month ago, and it is superb ❤
Really useful
Thanks
Got the screwfix Macallister version, great bit of kit...best £70 I've ever spent!
Great little video...short and sweet : )
Guys this has been around for years!! I’m on my 3rd already now it’s going to be sold out everywhere 😂
Wow! It is indeed a game changer. Will definitely look it up. The tools backpack is also really nice.
That's a nice hop up you got there
Definitely gone are the days of black and decker work benches
Just got one, saved me bending down about 50 times the 1st morning I used it, should of got one years ago
Which model is this one please ? There seems to be a few. Cheers
That looks awesome.
So handy on site these benches!
Wowser, could do with that workbench
No one wants to be stabbed in the groinal area. Good feature
Just got this and the clamps seem to be fused closed. I have no idea how I'm supposed to move them. The manual gives no help whatsoever. I'm probably going to have to return it
I’m going get myself one
Great I’d buy one
Designer of that table is not much short of a genius
Does Rick’s Tool Time have a playlist?
Nice, but it seems to be a bit low, will be a lot of standing with a bent back.
That's awesome
Chicken or the egg?
Keter or the Macallister?
Another one of life’s mysteries
I bought one from tool station about a month ago (on special) didn't realise it had clamps 🤣cheers
How much?
Very old news is this. Had a couple for at least 2 years

You didn’t do any cutting 👎🏼 we need to see the stability of this workbench before making a decision to purchase it.
According to the spec I saw on some shop it supposedly holds up to 450kg, I wouldn't trust it with anything near that but if you lay a few 10kg weights on that bottom shelf then it might be stable enough for non-precision cutting.
You didn’t actually show how to unlock it??
Super fast to set up but heavy to carry and the legs gets snapped off
Great for your back. Too low
If you need to clamp a bit of trunking on a plastic table to cut it then give up pal. Load of shite
