Black and Decker Workbenches & Vices

Black and Decker Workbenches & Vices at Tooled-Up.com

Black and Decker Workbenches & Vices are built around one idea: a solid, portable workspace you can set up wherever the job is. The selection centres on the Workmate Benches, folding workbenches with a clamping work surface that doubles as a vice. They give you a stable platform for sawing, drilling, sanding and assembly without needing a fixed bench.

What sets them apart is how much they do in a small footprint. The benchtop grips the workpiece directly, so you can hold timber, panels, pipe and awkward shapes without reaching for extra clamps. When the job is finished, the bench folds away for the van, boot or garage wall.

Key Features of Black and Decker Workbenches & Vices

• Clamping work surface: the two halves of the top move together to grip a workpiece, so the bench works as a wide-capacity vice. This suits long, wide or irregular items that a conventional bench vice struggles with.
• Folding design: Workmate Benches collapse flat for transport and storage, which helps on multi-site days and in small garages or sheds.
• Sturdy frame: a rigid frame keeps the bench steady when you are sawing or applying force, so cuts stay accurate.
• Grippy work surface: the clamping jaws hold material firmly, which cuts down on slipping and helps protect softer finishes.
• Model-specific extras: depending on the model, you may find height adjustment, bench dogs or storage points. Check each product listing for load capacity, clamping width and dimensions.

Workmate Benches

Workmate Benches are the core of the Black and Decker offering in this category. They are portable, foldable workbenches with an integrated clamping top. Choose a compact model if you want something light for occasional jobs and easy storage. If you work on bigger sheets, longer lengths or heavier material, look at the larger models and check their stated load capacity and clamping width.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a Black and Decker Workmate bench work as a vice?

The work surface is split into two sections that move towards each other to clamp the workpiece between them. This lets you hold long, wide or oddly shaped items securely while you cut, shape or assemble them.

Which Workmate Bench should I choose?

Think about the size of the material you usually work with, how often you will move the bench and how much weight it needs to carry. Compare the dimensions, folded size, clamping width and load rating on each product page before you buy.

Can I use a Workmate Bench on site?

Yes. The folding design suits site work, loft conversions, driveways and garage jobs. Set it on firm, level ground and make sure it is fully locked open before you start.

Is a Workmate Bench a replacement for a bench vice?

For many woodworking and general jobs, the clamping top does the same work. For heavy metalworking, filing or hammering, a dedicated engineer's vice fixed to a rigid bench is the better choice. Many people keep both for different tasks.
