Great review of a very good tool. My Workmate 300 has been a useful tool for me for 46 years (I’m 71 yo) and still is in great working order. Even the latching mechanisms are still tight. Only deficiency is one of the feet on the fold out leg broke and won’t stay attached. I use and abuse this tool!
Have been considering this one for the lift up clamping as well, but not sure it's worth the £90 odd that I see it for now as does look a bit flimsy, good review.
The lift up mechanism does feel a bit flimsy when it's not clamped onto anything, but as soon as there is pressure applied it seems pretty good. I'm mainly wishing the gap was wider than 2 inches as I have 3 inch table tops that I'd like this to clamp onto.
