My son recently got a new house so I'm giving him a few surplus tools and maybe getting him some basic items,
I used to use the B&D workmate pretty often to hold things and cut things, The big jawed vise feature was pretty good.
I have one I think a model 79-001 from the late 70's - the dual height, gray painted steel model with laminated wood jaws.
I see they're still making a thing that looks similar a Workmate 225 with a 350 or 450 pound rating.
Is it the same as my old one or a sadly cheapened thinned out version of its former self? Lowes and other places have them but not in stock, you have to order for local pickup.
Does anyone have experience with them?
