Our verdict

A foldable project center that combines a vise, sawhorse and tool stand for garage and jobsite work. Its folding frame suits project work, so a shop needing a large fixed work surface should look elsewhere.

Overview

DIYers short on garage space get a folding project center that works as a vise, sawhorse and bench tool stand. A heavy-gauge steel frame carries the load, adjustable rear jaws with swivel pegs grip odd shapes, and the legs fold underneath for a lower working height.

Clamping range in a frame that folds away is the case for it, since the rear jaws and swivel pegs grip irregular shapes a plain table cannot. Folding legs give two working heights. Being a portable frame, it suits project work more than a permanent shop surface.

Who it's for

Suited to weekend cutting, sawing and painting jobs where the bench comes out, clamps the work and folds back onto a wall. Shops that need a permanent heavy work surface for daily use are better served by a fixed bench.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Folds quickly for storage or hanging
  • Jaws clamp irregularly shaped objects
  • Two working heights from folding legs
  • Heavy-gauge steel frame
Cons
  • Only the bench and pegs included
  • Work surface size not listed
  • Portable frame, not a permanent bench

Performance notes

Holding power comes from the rear jaws closing on the work, with the swivel pegs bracing odd shapes. The steel frame carries heavy loads, but stability at the higher setting depends on level ground under the legs. Folding the legs under drops the height for larger projects and lowers the center of gravity.
