ReviewThe Black & Decker Workmate is constructed of heavyweight steel that supports up to 350 pounds. Treat it like a project center and fold it up when you're finished, because this versatile model closes up tight and fits almost anywhere. It's perfect for portable jobs or clamping jobs, do-it-yourself projects, woodworking, and much more. The WM500 stands up to years of abuse, with its rugged frame and high-density, molded jaws. Every surface is stain-resistant, ready to wipe clean with the swipe of a rag -- so gasoline and oil never make a dent, and neither do your tools.

This Workmate is intensely useful, and it's an absolute must for any home workshop or garage. With a twist of the clamps, it grips firmly but gently and holds all workpieces securely, even oddly shaped or difficult-to-balance objects like windows, doors, and bicycles. The WM500 makes awkward painting and finishing job a snap. For extra mileage, try two -- and use them as sawhorses.

The WM500 clamps vertically up to 1-9/16-inch, and has a bench height of 30 inches. It parallel clamps up to 7-1/2 inches; this model offers parallel leg clamping up to 19 inches, and diagonal peg clamping up to 30 inches. Its work surface measures 25 by 18 inches, and it will support up to 350 pounds. It includes four swivel pegs to simplify the clamping and holding of objects with an uneven shape or unusual size.
