The selection spans full-size workbenches, Workmate-style benches, tool workstations, sawhorses and trestles, vices and anvils, so you can fit out a workshop or replace a single worn item from one category.

Each product type has a clear job. Workbenches and tool workstations give you a stable surface with storage close to hand. Vices and anvils hold and support metal for filing, cutting, bending and forming. Sawhorses, trestles and Workmate benches provide quick, portable support for cutting and assembly away from the main bench.

Key Features of Draper Workbenches & Vices

• Steel-framed workbenches: rigid frames resist racking when you are sawing, hammering or using power tools, keeping the work steady.
• Durable work surfaces: hardwood and laminated tops stand up to knocks and workshop oils, and give a flat base for accurate work.
• Integrated storage: drawers, shelves and workstation-style layouts keep tools and consumables within reach and the bench clear.
• Cast iron vice bodies: the mass absorbs vibration during filing, sawing and hammering, so the work stays firmly held.
• Replaceable or smooth jaw faces: serrated jaws grip metal, while softer faces protect finished surfaces and timber.
• Swivel-base options: rotate the work to a new angle without unclamping it, or choose a fixed base for maximum rigidity.
• Folding and portable designs: Workmate benches, sawhorses and trestles pack away flat and are quick to set up on site or in a small garage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between a fixed-base and swivel-base vice?

A fixed-base vice is the most rigid choice for heavy hammering and filing. A swivel base lets you reposition work without unclamping, which helps when you need access from several angles. Check the locking mechanism is solid if you choose a swivel base.

Should I buy a workbench or a Workmate bench?

A workbench suits a permanent workshop where you need a large, stable surface and storage. A Workmate bench is better if you need portability, quick setup or space-saving storage, such as on site or in a small garage.

What can I use a Draper anvil for?

An anvil gives a hard, solid surface for hammering, bending, straightening and light forging. Secure it to a sturdy base so it does not move under impact.

How should I mount a vice on a workbench?

Fix the vice to a strong, flat part of the bench using suitable bolts, ideally near a leg for extra support. Check the fixings regularly, as vibration can loosen them over time. Keep the screw thread clean and lightly oiled for smooth operation.
