STANLEY FATMAXExpress Folding Workbench - Portable Work Surface with 450kg Large Load Capacity, Clamp Compatable, FMST1-75672

As a tradesman this is an ideal bit of kit. To be able to set up a works bench fast and easily with no fuss makes the day go that little bit smoother.Only been using it a couple of weeks but build quality seems good. A strong and sturdy item while still light and easy to move around with its ingenious carry handle that also operates the legs coming out and retracting back. Another great feature is its ability to slot grips through the wholes for clamping down wood for cutting (or whatever else needs cutting). It's little features like this that are a real help.Some of the negative reviews about this have to be taken with a pinch of salt, like the person who said it broke when they sat on it! Despite whatever load it says it can take, it clearly is not designed to be sat on and a bit of common sense would tell you this. Even if it says it can take weight X, that's spread over the whole table, not just concentrated on one corner where your sat! Com'on.This table is for setting up Mitre Saws, cutting sheet wood, using track saws, it's a works bench, not a chair!Anyway, if you're in the trade, or a serious DIY'er who knows how to respect their kit and use it for sensible operations, then I'd highly recommend this for doing jobs on the go.

Bought to support hand-cutting laminate flooring, for which the nice large area is ideal. I find it stable enough. Feels very well made, though I have already shaved some small bits off the plastic sides in places. Folds up and down very easily, is dead easy to carry about via very sturdy integral handle, and folds up surprisingly flat, which is great, as it neatly fits under the fixed bench in my garage. A couple of basic dogs might have been nice

This is ideal. It’s so easy to pick up and grip and move around. There is no assembly. You just hit a button and it pops up once it’s up. It’s so stable. There are so many uses for it for me. It’s either DIY or used as a table for zero in in rifle scope - absolute bargain and it’s not even heavy

It's very easy and quick to assemble and is nice and sturdy, but a bit heavy.You need to think a bit about clamping items to it but it is very capable. It's not an "All singing all dancing" bench, but it's well worth have one.

Very handy table

This is a well designed work bench easy to erect very stable a great help for numerous jobs.

The positives:1) Good size, weight and portability.2) Rapid fold/unfold of legs.3) Compact storage.The not-so-good:1) Not very stable for sawing. The existing cross-bracing of the legs is high off the floor level. The bench would benefit from some cross-bracing much closer to floor level so that there is the option to place your foot onto this to aid stability whilst sawing. This is quite a large issue for me.2) Clamps cannot be left in-place for storage due to folding leg storage locations. Medium and large clamps won't fit through the slots unless they are partially dismantled. Not a huge issue but still added hassle. Product description would benefit from some references to smaller clamps that would fit through the slots without dismantling since clamp manufacturers don't seem to publish the necessary size specification to enable appropriate selection.I am somewhat disappointed with this bench having spent quite a long time doing my research. I'm kicking myself for not thinking about the location of the cross-bracing and the ability to use my foot to stabilise (which I used to do with my old WorkMate). My wife pointed out that it would make a great camping table (I think she's right) - so maybe I have an excuse to buy an alternative workbench, however I shall persevere longer with this one and update this review as necessary.

This is a fantastic product. No more screwing legs on or putting bits together, you just pop the button and out shoot the legs ready to use. It's well built and really sturdy, and having a solid flat top gives it more versatility. We use it for loads of things besides DIY, for example it gets used a lot as a potting bench! My husband has attached a piece of wood to the top as well so that he can use it for other things, and we think it's so amazing, we bought another one! Brilliant!
