WM825 Workmate or HinderanceMarch 22, 2008 Love Live Music(England Nr London) 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
This item is a very poor development of the original workmate. The jaws are thin and mark wood when it is clamped for working on. In addition they have warped and have insufficient strength to remain flat / straight when tightened up. Boards cannot be held vertically as one of the metal struts affect clearance. I spent more time moving the clamps backwards and forwards than should have been necessary and in the end I used it as a place to keep my tools on and got out my 20yr old Workmate and used that. Wish I had spent my money on spares for the old one rather than thinking that getting a new one would be an improvement.
The little orange clamps for pushing into the worksurface are its best feature and are very good. Otherwise a total waste of money and I wish I could return it.
