Great find just in time for Father’s Day.

I've been looking around for this type of bench, and this generic design goes for around upwards of $70 in other places like eBay, Amazon, etc.

Click and Collect from Home Timber & Hardware/Thrifty-Link Hardware or Mitre 10/True Value Hardware shops. (Delivery to selected areas available from Mitre 10.) (Sold out online.)

Not much technical info on this.
Basically it folds up, has the handles for winding the vice, and some angles drawn on the surface for mitre cuts (not sure how useful that is).

These are handy to have as saw horses as well.

This is part of Father's Day deals for 2020.

    GOOD to see Mitre10 get some airtime, not jut BigB

      Yeah. Keep your expectations low on this product though.

      I have one off the side of the road. Maybe it's been left outside. But the handles are plastic and breaking. The legs are rusted badly and the strut is bent. I replaced the wooden top with cuts off an old table.

      Keep it inside.

      They are 10/10 every time. Or maybe 4/10 in range and price every time.

      Also note that It's currently free delivery for Melbourne lockdown areas on orders over $100 (in case anyone was planning to purchase other items).

          Why didn't you take it back for a refund or give it away? Seems pretty wasteful.

              @fantacular:

              I’d thrown the box out a week earlier

              Got it home, unpacked it, felt how lightweight it was and how much assembly was required, and threw it in the bin.
              That took a week?

              • fantacular on 15/08/2020 - 19:31

                @INFIDEL: Unpacked it in a hurry needing it for a project, saw the number of bits, didn’t have time for that, so used a table and quick clamp for the project instead. Went to assemble it a week later and felt what a piece of crap it was……. and yeah, nah. If anyone knows where I can get some saw horses that’d be appreciated.

                • INFIDEL on 15/08/2020 - 19:57

                  @fantacular: Very strange you could tell how the assembled product would perform without even building it!

                  Sounds like you bought the wrong product, based on its cheap price!

                  Bought the $30 model for $18.90 in Deal. Didn't take long to assemble. Mine's very stable once locked in place.

                  A folding work bench will never be as stable as a good sawhorse or solid fixed workbench, it's a different product for a different purpose!

                  Didn't need a sawhorse as already had those. And had a massive 70 year old solid wooden workbench with a big vice.

                  Needed something portable for minor jobs around the house.
                  This fitted the bill. Was a good purchase for the price.

                    @INFIDEL: That’s daft. The metal is thin and weak. Hopefully others can learn from my mistake.

                      What - not to throw out the box until you know you are keeping the product, so you could get a refund😂
                      Rookie mistake.

                      Many strong structures are built from sometimes individually weak components🗼

      • 9839002 on 15/08/2020 - 17:49

        The craft right version is a piece of shit. I have one and it's semi functional but not sturdy and has buckled from moderate work.

        It's cheap. You get what you pay for.

        • watts on 15/08/2020 - 18:26

          You know those legs come with a buckle in them ;).

    Bought the Craftright Folding Workbench $18.90 @ Bunnings (currently $29.98) last year. Seems identical to this BuyRight one.
    It OK for light jobs.

    • BL1TZKRE1G on 15/08/2020 - 08:57

      2 different items mate

      • INFIDEL on 15/08/2020 - 08:58

        How so? I haven't seen them side by side with the BuyRight one for comparison.

        • BL1TZKRE1G on 15/08/2020 - 09:03

          My bad I meant the current cheaper $18.45 is without a vise while the current 29.98 includes it.

            +4

            @BL1TZKRE1G: I’m pretty sure they’re the same feature wise. The ‘vise’ is just the 2 halves of the bench which you move in and out by those handles, and there’s little plastic blocks to put in the various holes. Both have that from what I can tell.

            I have the $28 Bunnings orange one from previous deal above. A cheap flimsy POS but still works as intended and handy to have.

            The $18 Bunnings black one looks a bit flimsier, which I’m surprised is even possible.

            The mitre 10 one seems equivalent to the $28 craftright. (Fatter legs, holes in the lower cross members for holding tools).

    I have two of a very old version of these as my saw horses, the vice aspect is more useful than you think. Good to arrange the gap for the right size to jigsaw things while supporting the wood on both sides.

    I will need a new one very soon (springs and latches starting to go on mine), so won't hit go on this today but potentially next time it comes up.

    • MuddyClear on 15/08/2020 - 13:01

      This is not as good. Different vice system.

  • bf on 15/08/2020 - 08:56

    Oops. Not sure how I missed that. Sorry

    • BL1TZKRE1G on 15/08/2020 - 08:58

      Nothing to be sorry for 🙂

    It’s cheap, made with cheap wood, but useful. Wood fibreboard benefits sealing with protector/varnish.. otherwise will swell when gets wet.

  • BewareOfThe Dog on 15/08/2020 - 10:12

    I have the Ryobi one at $59.99 which is excellent. I also made 2 folding benches from pallets.

    • serpserpserp on 15/08/2020 - 11:30

      Twice the price though.

    I am thinking of going all out and buying a couple of Toughbuilt SawHorses from Bunnings. Reviews are incredible. Buy once and dont replace 3 times is my logic. C500 $99 for two and C700, my preferred option, $99each. Does anyone have experience with them?

    • random-user on 15/08/2020 - 13:29
      +2

      I have the C500 X 2. They’re incredibly sturdy and quite light. I didn’t see any benefit in getting the C700 for twice the price.

    • Znark on 16/08/2020 - 15:39

      I have 2x c700. Absolutely phenomenal. Stable as anything, love the height adjustment, will take any weight you throw at it. I use these with an old tabletop set up at my project bench in the shed. Some of the best money I've spent and would do it again in a heartbeat.

      edit - the height adjustment is great when I'm teaching my young fella stuff and doing work with him. Great to have a safe sturdy bench at a height more suitable to him.

      • JamesLucas on 16/08/2020 - 19:41

        Thanks for that. It's the height adjustment that has me thinking I should dish out the extra $99. I also like the fold down bracket design up top of the legs too.

        • Znark on 17/08/2020 - 10:57
          +1

          More initial cost, but with the build quality of them, the cost is already forgotten after 18 months of pretty much daily use and I expect many many more years of service. If you use them once, the cost difference will seem like more 9f course.

    This type of work table is surprising versatile, used it to cut laminate floor boards, skirts, even helped to change fork oil :D

    I still remember this bargain fondly: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/101183/amp

    Still use mine regularly so don't reckon you can go too wrong with the cheap ones, as long as store in a shed
