MAC ALLISTER FOLDING WORKSTATION. Ideal For Indoor and Outdoor Workshop Use

Product Information

These are less versatile, but the uncomplicated mechanism means it folds up smaller than the Minotaur for storage and weighs just 4. It allows you to hold, hammer, paint and polish parts away from the car, providing a means to keep you and the components safe and secure. While the Silverline is fine for lighter tasks such as painting and cleaning, it did feel a little wobbly when loaded with our heavy wheel. The stated maximum weight capacity is 100kg, but it felt wobbly even when we loaded it with a wheel and tyre.

stone is less than 100 kilogrammes in french, so while these benches will support a surprising amount spread out, they don't take point loads so well. Not all of us have the garage space for a full, fixed bench with a vice, but you can still find a decent compromise with a folding version. In addition to the conventional clamping action of the two plank-like work surfaces, they can also be individually tilted to 45 or 90 degrees. The TB01 follows the same pattern and is excellent value; in fact it is the cheapest workbench we could find.We especially liked the 800mm width, which made it feel more stable as well as being usefully larger than the other budget options here. You’ll also find a workbench invaluable for clamping parts such as hoses and trim while they are being cut. When unfolded, the hinged legs allow for two working heights, meaning you can work on taller items without having to stand on your tip toes.

This won't be my main workbench, just something portable, convenient, and easy to stash away when not in use.

The “step” is useful for steadying the bench while sawing and can be used to work on taller parts, such as the top of a body panel. This means it folds down into a neat package that resembles an oversize briefcase, but when erected it provides a solid and stable bench with a huge working surface. Two detachable clamps are provided to hold items in place, which can also be used off the workbench. A second, lower shelf also provides a handy place to put tools, rags or cans of WD-40 while tackling a job.
