As a supplement to my website, "h-frame.weebly.com", this video shows how to identify the Type number of a Black & Decker Workmate 79-001 or 79-004 by examining its component parts. The model 79-001 was manufactured from 1974 to 1982 as ten different versions, designated by Black & Decker as Types E through 9.

Thanks for the geat video! So much information! I just bought my second type 4 last week. These are hands down the most durable and versatile tools I own, and easily the best $25 I've ever spent!

Great video.I must be lucky In that I just found my second Type E at a estate sale today. Very rough condition compared to my first Type E but it's intact and complete. Must have sat in a humid environment for a great while as the steel pins at the leg pivots have seized . Unfortunately one leg is broken at a seized pivot. Really thin metal. Going to have to blast it clean and lube up every joint to get it too unfold. I knew what it was when I first saw it sitting in a forgotten corner of a basement. It probably was sitting in this spot for 30 years by the look of it.. Thanks Again.

Thanks. One of my four Type E's was in worse condition than that. Still is, for that matter. I committed to buy it from Craigslist, sight unseen, and drove 70 miles to get it. It was in a barn, in the upright position. I took it out and bought it, but when I got it to my car I realized it was seized up and wouldn't fold! I had no kind of lubricant with me, so I had to carefully work all the joints to eventually get it to fold. It took so much force I was afraid I was going to break it. I have sold a few parts off it so far, but there are still screws that I can't loosen up.

This is fantastic labor of love. Thanks for putting the hours into this and sharing it to the public. My dad handed down to me his old B&D workmate and I love it! These can be found very cheaply at yard/estate sales and with a little lubrication and attention you can have a workbench better than any of the garbage sold in hardware stores today at a fraction of the price. Thanks for sharing your collection and research!

I just got one of these with a Delta miter saw for $60 at a yard sale. I have the 79-001 type 2

Great work, now a proud owner of two restoration projects of a type WM625 E03 and WM625 E05 Love the site too.

They make an interesting pair, because of the design changes. Do you find that there is a noticeable weight difference?

From the UK - Passed down from my dad, I have a variation on the "type 5" that has slip on plastic feet on all four legs. The bottoms of the legs are folded over, there are no mounts for the adjustable screw feet and no alteration marks, the original blue paint is still visible on the folded edges.

You need to go to my website and look at my pages about the UK models of the Workmate: h-frame.weebly.com/uk--european-workmates.html Specifically, you have a WM625, and it's probably an E05: h-frame.weebly.com/workmate-wm625.html

@@H-frame Thank you, had a look at the worktop underside and it is a WM625 E06 made in the RoI. That is a truly impressive amount of information you have on these great pieces of kit!
