Review: Instructions are terrible - Ok putting this thing together should have taken a few minutes, but after looking at the instruction for 5 minutes I just threw them away and watched a youtube video. The instructions have no bearing on assembling the workmate and may as well be written in Ancient Greek for all the use they were. Sort it out black and decker. As for the item itself it is nice and sturdy. Although the handles seem very wobbly and loose compared to my old workmate. Just another example of using cheaper materials/ fixings I suppose that we`ve come to expect in modern day life. I did have one issue when it was assembled, the plastic strip that runs from one handle to the other (to help with tightening both handles when only one is being turned) was all twisted and not connected underneath. So had to fiddle about with that to get it all lines up and reconnected. Not the end of the world but 5 minutes of fiddling about with a new item which I shouldn't have needed to do. Review: Excellent Product! Ignore The Bad Reveiws - I spent some time reading these fairly mixed reviews before deciding to purchase the Workmate. It arrived on time, well packaged and well built. The stand is probably much lighter than the originals but it's made from pressed steel with dished stiffeners. As soon as I erected it I knew it would easily deal with anything I could throw at it. The dual height option is great since the lower height is ideal for acting as a stand for my router table. The instructions are terrible... but hey... if your buying it you're probably interested in DIY therefore sure to have at least some "mechanical aptitude". I ditched the instructions and just figured it out, I quite enjoyed the challenge. There's only 8 parts and 4 bolts for heavens sake. The top is thick level and clearly marked. I don't suppose the marked on angles and measurements are accurate to a micron, but as a guide they're great. The much criticised plastic belt that connects the two clamping handles is "clearly" designed for quickly spinning the jaws to the clamping position, and then tightening with one hand on each handle to nip it up. Anyone who expects to put all their weight on one handle and have it transferred to the other by the belt without breaking it is, in my opinion, expecting far too much. It folds impressively flat for its size. Finally two little niggles, but neither hamper its operation. Folding the feet back down relies on a bit of a "plasticy" clicky catch. The release bar that is pulled for the 90 degree clamping option is a bit "rickety" All in all a great purchase! Would easily recommend. ## Features - A MULTIPURPOSE WORKBENCH, SAWHORSE, AND VISE: Discover the ultimate in versatility with the BLACK+DECKER Workmate WM825.

What I mean is that my workmate is at the heart of my limited space so we aren't just looking at a large jaw to hold whatever. I have a 6" vice clamped to the back board of the Workmate and 4 x Irwin 300Ib clamps and 2 x Irwin 600Ib clamps as additions. So, with all the holes to drop chisels in the unit becomes a bench for all types of work . . . making it a work horse. I mention the above for those only thinking of the basic use when a Workmate is so much more. This unit has the lifting front which might be of use in the future. The one handed thingy is ok but not too reliable . . . something I'm not bothered about. More important: No problem tightening the jaws if you move your index finger around the shank and not try and snap the orange handle off by putting all pressure just on that . . . although replacements are cheap enough. With its splayed legs the unit is as solid as a rock when planing. Summing up: If you want a Workmate which is going to be thrashed around a work site buy a cheaper one. If you are looking for the beginnings of your work system buy this one. P.S. Yes, I have read the comments about the build quality of the steel section but haven't a clue what they are talking about. **Q: How do I assemble the top sections. there apears to be no place to screw the rear section to and no reses in the frount board to alow for the coller o** A: This video should help...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAoL14J_T_o **Q: Is this strong enough to hold wood block tight and carve?** A: It is my belief that this product would be strong enough to hold a wood block for carving purposes. We managed to assemble the B/D Workmate and had some help from a YouTube clip. I am pleased with my Workmate and it sees quite a bit of service. **Q: Can anyone comment on whether you can rest (or need to) your foot on the bottom horizontal support to enhance the sturdiness? Thanks.** A: Hi there , I find you need to when sawing with a hand saw , Although the cross members are only a couple of mm they are folded & held in place with 4 nuts & bolts each . I hope this helps ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Instructions are terrible *by M***I on 13 August 2023* Ok putting this thing together should have taken a few minutes, but after looking at the instruction for 5 minutes I just threw them away and watched a youtube video.

Would easily recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Robust and sturdy workbench *by M***K on 3 May 2026* This is a sturdy workbench; dual height and very flexible when in use. However, there are a few niggles! Firstly, the assembly instructions are AWFUL. I had looked at other reviews so i suspected they were poor, but wow, for an established brand leader, this is unacceptable. I suggest you watch youtube videos to help with assembly. Once assembled, it all works well, but the 825 deluxe has handles that rotate together so you can adjust one-handed. A useful feature you would assume, but you can't tighten up properly unless you use both handles. What I can't suss out is the disengagement of this feature to adjust angled jaws. These a spring underneath but unless you pull these back by hand on each side, the drive belt just 'skips' the holes. I don't hold out much hope for the longevity of this bit, TBH. I think I'll disengage the belt and not use the one-handed adjustment at all. Will it last years? Well I hope so; my previous one was the earliest version and still going strong (albeit with replacement wooden jaws). It's good, but the instructions make for a bad first impression. Come on B&D, sort it out!! ## Frequently Bought Together - BLACK+DECKER Workmate® 825 Deluxe Dual-Height Workbench, WM825-XJ - Black & Decker 79-010-4 Workmate Swivel Grip Peg, 4-Pack - IRWINQUICK-GRIPOne-Handed Mini Bar Clamp, 6", 1964742 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48603499-workmate-825-dual-height-workbench-wm825-xj](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48603499-workmate-825-dual-height-workbench-wm825-xj) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
