![Top 5 Best Portable Workbench | Top 5 Best Portable Workbench Reviews [2024]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NZ-EYuTb63o/mqdefault.jpg)
My dad got me a keter table about 3 years ago. It's made me a few grand on handyman jobs. So worth it.
I had a keter table since 2014 and it was awesome until my dog jumped on it this year and snapped one of the legs where it connects to the bottom of table. going to go with toughbilt this go around and see if it lasts 10 years like the keter.
I got 2 of the Worx Pegasus when they were on sale last year for $90 each - I really love them! I also use them as saw horses - they're stable, easy to set up and put away.
I flipping love these tables. Rock solid tables that can connect. Nice clamps and solid construction. For 100 they are a super buy
I have both the DeWalt and the Keter portable workbenches. The Keter feels the sturdiest and is the one I like to set up for a substantial job. The DeWalt shines for extremely fast setup and put-away. It doesn’t feel like it should be used to support the same weight as the Keter, but it’s easy to move around. The rod/handle that sticks out across one end tends to annoy me, but that bar can also be used to drape rags, cords and tools. Nice video, Bear. I paid just over $50 for the Keter, and about $79 for the DeWalt during various sales a couple years ago.
I picked up a Keter about 2 years ago. Enjoy it and use it with all my wood projects.
The Den of Tools.. I think I would go with the Keter or the TOUGHBUILT table. Looks to be the best bang for your buck.
My system old B&D workmate is still going strong.
Thanks for all the tool info you put out for us. That's a great service. I have two Pony Jorgensen work table/sawhorses, and I love them. They are very sturdy and the clamps can be used in a multitude of positions. I have to make my shop "foldable" because it shares space in the garage with cars and big dinner parties with my family. These are perfect for my use. I like the adjustable height because it allows me to use different tools (bench top router table and oscillating sander) and still have a good working height. Blessings, Glen
The Pony $79 at lowes right now. I don't understand trying to "review" work tables by looking at web pages.
Bought a Keter from Northern Tools about 6 years ago. Works great and still going strong.
I've had the dewalt for a few years and really like it. It's a nice hieght for my benchtop planer, jointer, and bandsaw. The slots work nice for clamping the tools down. I also do a lot of sanding on it using the dog holes with my rockler bench cookies
I super love my worx sidekick. Light and setups up super fast and stores fast and easy. I might look at the larger peg-a-saus
I enjoyed the video. I got the Dewalt for my garage workshop. Very happy with it. I fold it up when I am not using it. It is your basic folding work table for a decent price.
Love my toughbuilt work table. the clip on pouch us awesome. keep surface clear and place for tools
I have the dewalt and I love it with the exception of the fact that only the low profile dewalt clamp will work in the center groves unless your willing to disassemble your clamps.
Great content! Thank you!
I've had the Husky table for a few years now and it's pretty sturdy. A little cumbersome to set up, but it has some accessories in a box that stores underneath. But I had to have the Toughbuilt when it came out for $69. I bought 2 of those. I like the many slots for clamping. Of course setup is unbeatable.
I have a few of the Worx Pegasus tables and love the stability and portability. Great tables
I got that DeWalt table from HD a few years ago on sale for $60. I love it being light weight and super easy to move and set up.
I have that Husky bench. It was a Christmas present a few years ago. I've never used that router mount, but as far as a portable workbench, it works well, It's sturdy, and it's fairly easy to move around. I've used it for my miter saw, table saw in a pinch, and a planer and it's held up without any issue. It also comes with mounts for 2x4s if you want to expand your work surface.
I listened to the Bear and bought two of the Harts. Pretty much replaced my other tables for DIY. Do wish I could raise them from time to time, but love the convenience of hanging them on a hook when not in use. Thank you Bear, that was a steal of a deal. If I had to buy another I would go for the Toughbuilt so you don’t have that pull out in the way.
Nice selection of tables.
I have two keter tables,use them for sawhorses,work table,painting,everything. They get rain,sun,snow and still work great after three years.
I have Worx, Keter, Pony. The Worx is sturdy to me. Pinched me a couple times when closing it up. The Keter is great and I currently use it as a clothes dryer stand. 😂
The method of clamping is what differs the tables.
I have the Husky table and like it pretty good. It isn't flimsy at all and is very stable. It comes with 4 brackets you can mount to the long sides to hold 2x4s making for a larger surface area. It does have router inserts for the center, and as I stated it is stable. I have used it as a workstation for both assembly of woodworking projects and for firearm cleaning.
My main work table, however, is a Black and Decker Workmate 550 that I have modded with inserts for multiple tools, and jobs.
I have the tough built and love it. Super Quality
I've had the Keter for years and I've been pretty impressed... I've never had any issues with the legs breaking off... They feel weak unitl you get it fully opened and the center support locked in... Once you've done that it has always be rock solid for me... I know we've had more then 600lbs of people standing on it before without any issues. Mine is the one rated for 1000 lbs...
The Pegasus is great. Enjoyed that within a minute of taking it out of box.
We have 3 of the Keter style workbenches from Sam's Club. Mine has non adjustable tubular aluminum legs. So far, there are no issues. Love the table.
Thank you
I had the Keeter, liked it. I have 4 of the DeWalt tables, for a quick set-up and small jobs, they are great. Have 2 of the Kreg tables and absolutely love them for larger builds. Use 2 and have a 48" long table extension to put between them.
I got the pony jorgenson one for fathers day last year. that thing kicks ass! it's not very light but its super sturdy and the clamping options are very convenient. adjustable height, but doesn't get very tall. wish it could be set an inch or two higher, but despite that i'd definitely recommend it!
Just a DIYer but, love my Pony table. Adjustable legs, more features and beefier clamps system than the Worx table. You can connect another table system to it as well. Light weight but, depending on what your do on it, would be nice to have holes in the feet to anchor it to the floor, if necessary.
I have the Husky workbench. I use it for firearms mods. I attach the Real Avid vise to a 2x4 and then use clamps to attach that to the workbench. I looked at the dewalt and toughbilt but it didn't work where I was going to put the clamps. All in all, It has worked very well. Yes, I wish I didn't have to screw/unscrew the legs. but I have limited space to store everything so being able to break everything down helps alot.
Good video. Thank you
I have the tuffbuilt! Love it
I have the newer Keter and it rocks!
I love my Black & Decker work mate. I was surprised it wasn't mentioned.
My go to for this function is an old Workmate that is built like a tank. Heavier than hell, but incredibly sturdy. I don’t know it the new ones are nearly as robust, but might be a good option.
I thought they used to be heavier. I have an old, like 25 years old, knock off called a Bench N' Vise and I think the legs and other parts have at least twice as much steel as the newer workmates and clones. It doesn't fold up quite as small and it looks like someone has been beating the crap out of it for years. That would be me...
I have a Workmate 400. It has the MDF tables, but it's incredible. I'd love to get the Workmate 425 with the bamboo tables.
i have the tough built along with some of their pouches. great quality setup imo.
i have the HUSKY works table and we use them for scuba diving = we setup our gear on them a very steady table. we have had 2 sets of double tanks on one of the tables - held up perfect. just to see how tough they are me and my son were on top & jumped up & down on it we are over 500lbs no problems. heart had the same table for a while & when they cleared them out i got 2 more. well i have ben using them for at least 5 years and they are great
The kewl part of the husky table is it comes with brackets that you can screw 2x4s into and it makes a very sturdy table, sheet of plywood on top and you got a huge table
I have both the Pegasus and the husky and they are great work stations…They both hold my miter saw and bench top drill press…
I'll probably go with toughbuilt, I already have their sawhorses after I watched your video on them and they are phenomenal!
I actually have this table. It works great.
I have an earlier Worx one, bought on sale. The newer style is too expensive. I still use a 35 or so year old B&D workmate, it's heavy but still works great.
The Toughbuilt system is spectacular. It would be great if you did a deep dive video on there products.
I still use my old workmate from B&D I work at the home Depot in Canada in lumber
I bought a pair of the Pegasus tables when they were $99 each. Sturdy, versatile, handy as a shirt pocket. No complaints.
Just bought one this weekend for 130$ cdn so probably you 99 US$. Can't wait to try it.
I bought 4 keter tables about 8 years ago at Menards when they were 49 bucks.
I have the Husky (Its made by Keter also) and it's pretty solid. Just got the Keter foldable also. Love both of em.
The Husky $99 table is the same as the Hart table that got closed out at $49 about a year ago. I like the size and sturdiness of both.
Great video. I've watched 10 different videos about the dewalt portable work table to see if it would handle a miter saw and just kept seeing people sit on them. Thanks for information.
For decades I have used 2 Black and Decker Workmate tables with the vise-like top surface and so many adjustments. So far no need to retire either of them, but it sure is neat to see others expand on the concept and function of portable work surfaces. If they are still made, I strongly suggest looking at the Work-Mate. It was a brilliant piece of engineering way ahead of its time. Invented in 1961, and found everywhere by the 1970s, it is to me 'gold standard' in its market segment.
I was waiting for it and he never covered them. I just picked up a used one. Thing is 20 years old and still works great for my needs.
I have two versions of the black and decker tables, one with a bamboo like wood top and another with a plastic top. They're both fantastic but the plastic top one completely outshines the wood top version
my neighbor passed away last year and his son gifted me a brand new work-mate never been used, i asked him are you sure you want to gift this to me. he's not a get hands dirty type of guy. i said no problem. his dad and i were cool and he would share with me old story's, the son told me he would've wanted me to have it. best gift ever.
They are great little tables, had one for years. Not convenient to lug around though.
I recently got the black and decker folding work table on Amazon for 14 bucks. Best thing i ever did. Got one for my dad too. Theyre up to over 50 bucks now! Glad i caught that deal when i did
I have the Husky for the past 4 years and there is nothing folding about it. Having to remove the legs to store it was a complete poo, however it was a good stand alone when there was nothing else. I have a grinder set up on it and that is all it is good for. I later got the Dewalt when it first came out, like maybe 69.00 bucks. It has served me well and I would not trade it for anything. Never fails and is strong as ever. I looked @ the Tough when it came out and when I was ready to pop the 69.00 intro was gone out the door. It is 99.00 this week but I need to get before that sale is over. Great review BTW and educational as always, thanks jb
Ive got my Toughbuilt table from Lowes when it was on sale for $60 and i LOVE IT!
Psst! If you want another one for that price, it's on sale again.
Love my husky table. Love it so much, I bought a second one
I have two Bora Centipedes with the folding top. I can do anything I want to with these and set them up anywhere.
I have the Husky table. It's a love hate relationship
I have the Husky table and it works great as a router table. The only down side is the legs are removable and store under the table.
I have a Toughbuilt, Keter and a Husky. The Toughbuilt is the best, but all are very sturdy. The Husky I actually use as a portable large router station when doing on-site custom fencing. It works fantastic.
Have the Toughbuilt version
Excellent table. Christmas for 99 at Lowe’s
Fits over top of my Ridgid boxes
The push in handle occasionally is handy
Got my daughter the bora centipede shortly afterwards. Not as sturdy and getting the top made it pricier but you need a work table that will store anywhere it’s it
I have the husky table its fine I bought it back before all the other options were out but it's not bad it heavy duty but takes a little longer to set up then other tables
thank u sir
I have the DeWalt for 5-6 years, it is a good workbench. Saw the ToughBuilt Quickset at Lowe's the other day, it seems to be more stable than the DeWalt. I am planning to get a couple of them soon.
I bought the Husky on a whim a few years ago. It's been pretty good. Wish it had more clamping options. So looking at the Keter and Toughbuilt.
I have the Dewalt collapsable one for years now and really enjoy it. Recently used a couple Worx Pegasus ones that were on site.... I thought they were pretty heavy and annoying to be super portable but they worked very well for the carpentry I was doing; if they're fairly stationary for a while they work, if you need to constantly move them go with the Dewalt. I've used the Keter/walmart one in the past and hated that the legs stuck out further than the corners... tripped over it a few times. And it's just too bulky. Toughbuilt one looks good too but I don't want the proprietary hooks/connectors... nah.
I have the husky table. I bought it about 5 or 6 years ago. I love it. Its solid. I have not used the router portion yet, i will this summer though. Im pretty sure the table is made by keter as well.
My wife bought me the Keter almost ten years ago when it was about $60 at BJ's Wholesale. I recently pulled it out of the basement to use as my main work surface when projects spill from the garage to the driveway. Mine did not come with the bar clamps. It has two or four clamps that slide into and can be locked anywhere along grooves in the table. It also has a pair of holddowns (I don't think that's a word) that can hook into the table and provide downward force on plywood, etc. Worth the money for $60. Not sure if it's the best solution for twice that. The Pony has been tempting me every time I'm logged into HD's web site.
The Husky has always looked like they contracted with Keter and forgot to pay for the bottom shelf.
I have Keter portable workstation that I bought about 6-7 years ago from Sam’s. It’s seen some better days, but that little table is a beast. Still kicking myself in the back for not picking up the Hart version at that killer deal, but the lack of the adjustable height always kept me from pulling the trigger. Either way if your looking for a portable workstation you can’t go wrong with the Keter.
I have the Husky. Really like the design. I have two of the HART clones just like the Husky too.
The Kreg was generating too much trouble over pinched fingers
If I were recommending a folding workbench, it would either be the Festool MFT table or the Bora Centipede. The MFT has 20mm dog holes on 96mm centers. There are a lot of accessories -- dogs, clamps, fences, protractors, etc. -- that work with 20mm dog holes and 96mm spacing. In addition, the MFT table is skirted with an aluminium extrusion that has t-slots. There are a lot of accessories made for these t-slots (and lots that you can make yourself). This makes the MFT table very versatile.
The Bora Centipede is also very versatile. The Centipede takes a little more time to set up and isn't as stable as the MFT. However, it comes in more sizes and you can get with or without dog holes. And the dog holes can be had in either 20mm or 3/4" varieties. (Get the 20mm version. There are more accessories made for that size dog holes.)
I can also recommend Kreg's ACS project table. I have one. It is built like a tank and is both heavy and heavy duty. Fortunately, it easily folds up and can be wheeled around like a hand truck (but cannot be used as a hand truck). Kreg's table is larger than the MFT, which is a bonus. But, the Kreg table only comes with 3/4" dogs holes. This severely limits its flexibility. It's great for use with the Kreg track saw, which I also have. But, unless you're going to use it with the Kreg track saw, the MFT is a better option. And, believe it or not, this is one time the Festool option is less expensive!
I have that hart version to. Really glad I got it when I did. Was always wanting more than one and boom they're gone. Also that cheaper basic table they offer now is also made by keter. Just FYI. I wouldn't be too concerned on the quality. Have checked it out tho. Don't like how the legs have to be fully removed to put together the dang thing. The fold up legs on the kart and keters are amazing.
Pro-tractor 😂
All I want from a folding work table is stability and simplicity.
A table wobbling while filing/cutting/etc. is frustrating!
So, I’ll look into your top three since my old wood top tables have seen the rain…
Thanks for the review.

I have the jorgensen work bench and I like it
The Keter one is sold in Australia with green highlights & badged as Ryobi. I’ve had mine for a solid 8 years but 2 days ago as I lifted the middle section to close it the plastic knuckle joint sheared off just above the end of the aluminium leg. I’m looking at other designs to replace it but I don’t think there’s anything better.
I've owned the keter table for about 10 years now, got it at Costco for like $60 or something, it's still amazing.
I also have owned the DeWalt for about 3 years now, also happy with it but it doesn't really compare to the keter.
I recently bought the pony table and it's also amazing, it's much better than the DeWalt, and is very comparable to the keter in quality.
It doesn't set up as fast as the keter but it is very strong and have found myself splitting time between the keter and pony, the DeWalt is now last on my list.
I got the pony for $130, not sure if I would have gone for it at $170.
Been rocking the Keter since Northern Tool had a nasty deal almost a year ago. Great table. Heavy Duty. Good call on the one flaw - wish it had a track going perpendicular.
I have both the Keter and a B&D workmate. I like the workmate around the shop but it's not easily transportable. The Keter is better but I haven't used it much at this point. Anyway, love the videos and keep up the great work.
That last Vevor reminds me of my old Black & Decker that didn't last long
I have a 40YO workmate and the Dewalt table, nothing I can't do with those two.
I have the DeWalt table, its pretty good and easy to use. Home Depot puts them on sale a few times a year, ranging from 70 to 80 dollars. I would wait for it to go on sale instead of paying the everyday price of $100.
Great vid; Tough Built nice table, but wait until it goes on sale around or just before the Christmas shopping season begins on Black Friday.
I have a Husky portable jobsite workbench as well as a Keter folding workbench. The legs on the Husky unit store under the bench top similar to the Keter, but they do not fold out/in automatically. You have to manually screw them on and off the bench when assembling or disassembling. They snap into storage slots when disassembled for easy portability. Another difference is that the Husky unit is rated for 1,500 pounds whereas the Keter unit is rated for 1,000. pounds. Functionally, they are quite similar, but offer different material clamping options. I believe Sam's Club offers the Keter unit for sale on-line at a competitive price.
I had the first one you showed that I got it BJ's for I think $54 on clearance and had the adjustable legs as well. One of the clamps had that missing roll pin to help lock it into the table. Someday I'll have to go see if I can find something to replace it in there. The husky one with the built-in router table, terrible. Bought it twice, returned it twice and it was the same junk both times. LoL
I have four of the Ketter, great tables, taking them to my shop in Greece. I'm intrigued and maybe replace them with the Toughbuilt, they look steardy, as all Toughbuilt products. I have one of the Husky-like, and they are good! Not as easy to putup/takedown as the Ketter, but solid built, and actually more usable.
Hey bear I bought that husky folding work bench a couple years back at Home Depot for around 50 bucks. So far it’s been pretty good. I love it. Of course at 99 bucks now if I had to do it again I’d rather fork over another 20 bucks and get the tough built
For me Work mate by B&D the 400 is the way to go.
I just bought 2 Toughbuilt tables for $47.80 apiece on clearance in Silverdale Wa. Good FN deal.

I have this Husky Table and you are spot on..
It is not very sturdy at all.
There is a hole there for a router, but I would not want to have a router in this table.
I currently use this table for my computer for my CnC and laser.
Dashboard PWS. Game over.
I've had the DeWalt for years and have always liked it, but I never really looked at any of the other tables. I actually have the Husky too, which isn't bad, pretty sturdy, but isn't real quick to set up with the legs. If you can leave it up, like I do with a chop saw it's a pretty decent table. Back to the DeWalt, as I have gotten older and the table has gotten older, I am finding it more and more difficult to open. It has become a challenge. Maybe it just needs some old. It also bows down in the middle too, which I didn't realize until I saw a CZcamsr point it out. Mine also cracked across the top at some point. If I'm going to buy a new table down the road, I will go with the Toughbuilt. It seems to be a better choice now than the DeWalt. I have the Toughbuilt tool bag system and love it.
No question about it, the keter table is the most solid table I’ve ever owned . Never broke a leg. Folds up real nice. It’s a bit heavy, that’s what you want in a quality table. Highly recommend this one.
I use the keter in my shop it is my main worksurface.
My recommendation? The Bora Centipede. You can get multiple sizes in multiples of 2'x4', the weight capacity of even the smallest model is a lot higher (2500lbs on the 2'x4' model, up to 6000 on the 4'x8', versus 1000 on the DW or Keter), and the tops are modular, so you can buy exactly what you need or build your own. Plus they have options of them being 30 or 36" high with a riser accessory to add 6" on.
You can also use them without tops for sheet goods or as a sawhorse, and they come with x-cups for holding 2X material.
A friend picked up 2 Kreg tables at a Yard sale for $30 bucks, they are in great shape, just some paint on the tops
I still have and use my B&D Workmate.
The Pony table comes with two clamps, but it has four slots for clamps. Get two more clamps and it will accommodate some very large glue-ups.
I have both Keters, the DeWalt, a Workmate 200, Worx Pegasus, and the Worx Sidekick. Out of all these, by far, the one I use the most is the Worx Sidekick. Funny thing is that the Worx Sidekick was by far the cheapest of them all at $29.99 (on sale back in the days before Biden), it's the most basic, most compact, then most portable, and the lightest (I regret not buying a couple more of the Sidekicks at that price).
I bought the Toughbuilt table at Lowes last year for $60. Sets up and folds down fast. Wouldn't trade it.
Wow so glad I found this channel! So of the two Keters, which do you recommend the most?
The hart table was my favorite but the tough built is the current champ in my opinion. The problem with most of the Keter stuff is how expensive it’s gotten.
