I was looking for a solution to the lack of a full-fledged workbench. I myself am mainly involved with TIG welding as a hobbyist. I had a metal bottom plate that I had attached to a wooden plate to reinforce it and to be able to place this plate in its entirety on a few trestles. It soon turned out that this was much too unstable and accidentally hit the trestle with your foot and the whole thing was on the ground.
The workmate was the solution. I can now fix the wooden plate (attached to the metal base plate) in the workbench with a small adjustment and we can start.
It is easy to unfold and store again. If you have a full-fledged workspace and space for a fixed workbench, I would opt for that, but for someone like me who needs it in the basement or garage, it's a great thing. For daily use (professional activities) I would take a heavier version (thicker sheet material) or another more professional brand, but then you are immediately in a different price range. The easy thing about the Workmate is that it is easy to transport because it is not too heavy. With frequent use as indicated above, this sofa will also show weaknesses, but for my purposes it is perfect. Even more. It's the best solution I could wish for.
Coolblue's service is also a big compliment. And despite the fact that Coolblue has attractive prices for all their products, this workmate at Coolblue was not the cheapest on the worldwide network. But immediately available the day after) (no 4 or 7 working days delivery time, which quickly becomes two weeks) and good service, I like to add those few euros difference.
