Thanks for the comparison. I almost bought the dewalt but would much prefer the durability, flatness and pouch features of the toughbuilt. Hoping it goes on sale this black friday.
Yea the Toughbuilt is a far better workbench all around. I'm guessing they will go on sale next week for black Friday just like they did last year (probably wont be as good of deal tho). Glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching!
Nice vid been eyeing the toughbuilt table, thanks. 👍
Glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching!
I had the Dewalt in my shopping cart, but for some reason never checked out. Saved me from buying flimsy bench. Dewalt needs to step up their game.
Yea I agree. Glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching!
You ever used it? I’m guessing the width of the legs isn’t the weak point. I’ve stood on top of my Dewalt (I bought my Dewalt 4-5 years ago, when they were THE first and only one). I’ve stood on my Dewalt and don’t work on it like it was a platform, probably around 300lbs on it and it was stable AF, never felt like it was going to collapse or fail. Cool, so there are some pics out there of a couple with bent legs, there are probably 10x as many dewalts in use than toughbuilt, or in other words, 10x the chance of one being abused, run over, crushed in shipping, etc. I’m not against toughbuilt, I’ve got some of their products (the belt clips are cheesy to me), but when I got my dewalt, it’s the only game in town, and I still don’t regret it.
@@KosmicHRTRacingTeam When I did this video I was giving my initial impressions of the table after opening. As mentioned in my closing comments, Im sure both tables will get the job done at the end of the day. My goal was to simply compare both of these models to show the differences. I have plenty of other Dewalt tools and videos on various Dewalt tools that I like. I'm just giving my honest opinion on this table like I do for all my videos. Doesn't matter the brand they all make some products that could use a gen2.
Fantastic review- I learned a lot
Glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I stumbled upon this looking into the Toughbuilt workbench. I've had the Dewalt workbench for several years now. It's been a life savor I've done everything with it if I need a quick table for Christmas decorating or just typical household projects. The handle has been annoying, however my biggest gripe is when I push the button and pull out the handle the legs do not extend and I have to try to manually get them out this has been a problem with that table within I'd say my first month of owning it.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
The first one I bought had that same problem. I noticed that one of the rubber feet was touching the inside edge and was rubbing against the inside edge when collapsed making it hard to open with just the handle. I just trimmed off a little of the rubber with a knife where it was rubbing and it works like it’s supposed to. I’ve had it for several years and love it so much that I bought a second one.
@@timh7156 Thanks for that I will definitely look at it!
Great video! Thank you 👍
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Really good comparison.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
I think they should sell a power extension/divider/usb charger that you can clip to a side of this table if you want, with 2 of their clip system. The same way, they could have a holder of vacuum tube end, a work light and other stuff maybe. Also they should have an option to unfold only one couple of leg to support the other side with a rolling tool box with drawers. I think that one of the biggest strength of this brand is the modularity and it should applies to their mobile workbench in a deeper way than just clipping pouches.
You make some good points as I agree they could do far more with these clips. Maybe make another model that would have more options and still sell this base model for around $100.
I wish they would make the Toughbuilt with adjustable legs, like their C700 saw horses. I'm 6'6", and it's brutal having to lean over while I work. These things are only 31" tall.
You make a good point; they do have the adjustable legs on the sawhorse they could probably incorporate a similar leg on this table. This table is perfect height for me, but I could see where it would be too short for someone your height.
I’m interested in the Tough built table. I’ve been waiting to see if it will go on sale like the Dewalt for $89.00. No more down to $69.00. Still $119.00 here in Oregon. Appreciate the review 👍
Yea I agree, I think that Toughbuilt price of $69 last year was an introductory price which unfortunately we will probably never see again. Glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching!
Maybe so if yah all knew they will NOT sell replacement parts.Thus 69 bucks.Do a Keter review.Setting here looking at a banged up new ,89$,maybe taking it back.I do like the under storage shelf though.
@@2hotscottpro Yea I have saw those Keter tables before, but to me they look like they have the same flaw as the Dewalt. The corners are not solid, so they are prone to cracking the thin plastic when transporting. With that said I have never saw the Keter table up close so I will see what I can do with a potential review.
I love my Dewalt tables. Had them for several years now and have held up well. I haven’t abused them but I don’t baby them either. I love the built in tray for screw and bits when I’m using it for assembling things or having to take something apart. The handle sometimes gets in the way which is a plus for the Toughbuilt design. But the weight of the Toughbuilt would be a no go for me. The Dewalt is so easy to lift lug around and it has the same weight rating.
Thanks for sharing!
Yes, Toughbuilt all the way. Great table, pouches & belts. They know what they are doing!
I have been impressed with a lot of the Toughbuilt products I have used as well. They just don't throw another product on the market; they look at how they can make their product better than the competition. This table is a prime example with the solid corners, collapsing handle, pouch capability, etc.
Just bought my tough built yesterday. Noticed they were on sale for $79.99 and I left Lowe's and knew I had to make some moves to free up a little bit of money and right when I did I went back in and thankfully three of those things were still in stock not even out of their shipping boxes. They had them in stock but wrapped in a cardboard box. So I had to confirm what was inside before I even left the store. Tempted to buy a second one but I could wait I have the keter folding table as well for now
Where are you located? Need to get one at that price
@@kutapio I'm in Spokane WA. It didn't show the same online but in store it was marked down. I'm thinking it's going to vary store to store.
@@PDillz thanks. Will try to look around.
Thats a great price! It may just be store by store as online still shows the retail price of $119.
It would appear that the Toughbuilt is a superior design, although not superior enough that I want to sell my DeWalt. I bought the DeWalt years ago before the Toughbuilt was on the market. I was skeptical at first because of the plastic top, but bought it because this is what was in stock when I needed something immediately. So far, it has held up really well, although I honestly don't use it a lot. I did notice that the opening mechanism will gum up over time. The fix is to add a little oil to the mechanism and it works just fine again.
Thanks for sharing!
Wowh I almost bought Dewalt. Thank you so much. Going to Lowes to get TOUGHBUILT
Yea the Toughbuilt is a far better table. The only problem some Lowes don't carry in the store so you may have to buy on Lowes com. The table will come well packaged from the company as I have had them shipped in the past. Glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching!
@@TeamDIYNow You are right they didn’t had one at my local Lowe’s in NC so I ordered it online. That is why I didn’t know about existence of this workbench
@@dantedanis Yea Lowes kind of does this table a disservice as even when they do have them stocked in the store they are tucked in some back corner. If they were sold on Amazon they would sell thousands every month. Glad you were able to get one!
When buying more clip hubs, do they come with the screws to mount them? If not what screws item number would you recommend. Thanks.
The table will come with one already installed, but if you want to attach any of the other 3 ends you can get a 3 pack of hubs on Amazon here: amzn.to/3ukosE8. When you buy the additional hubs they will not come with the screws (hubs are used for belts, etc as well). The screws to attach the hub to the table are (2) M5 .8 x16 cap screws. I walk through the process to add additional hubs in this video: czcams.com/video/ZEVH_RFnLW8/video.html. Hope this helps.
I have had two of the Dewalt tables for about 4 years now. VERY HEAVY jobsite use in commercial and residential use and currently they are holding my benchtop planer and benchtop jointer. I love the ease of use, the durability, and the weight. I have never had an issue with these tables not being flat. If you are trying to use these as an actual permanent assembly bench then maybe that would matter but that is not what they are designed for. I'd say it's not a fair comparison if you haven't actually had work hours put in on the Dewalt.
I agree if you just need to put a miter saw, planer, etc on the top at a jobsite the surface isn't that big of deal as it doesn't need to be flat. With that said, that is only half of what Dewalt advertises with this table as they have all the clamping options on the top. If you are doing any type of wood clamping, etc this table being bowed in the center is a real problem. I tried to find a level Dewalt table at my local HD and the entire stack was bowed in the center and some were already cracked just from sitting on the shelf.
I have plenty of Dewalt tools, however if you put these 2 tables side by side and removed the company labels it would be hard to choose the Dewalt over the Toughbuilt. As mentioned in the video they both will get the job done, but the Toughbuilt is just built a lot better.
Ya. I’ve had my Dewalt when they first came out around 5 years ago, in other words, when there were NO others available and no one copied them yet. I have NEVER had an issue with mine, even used it as a platform to work on taller projects, and with tools, had around 300lbs and never felt unstable. The problem with reviews like these, that are extremely superficial, just looking at leg width, is that they aren’t being ACTUALLY tested. I’m guessing the legs aren’t the typical failing point. Let’s load them up and see which ones are the actual strongest and most sturdy. Looking at leg width is useless. Project farm would start stack crap on them and actually test how strong they are. Looking at leg width doesn’t tell us anything.
I have both and I actually prefer the DeWalt. It's lighter, easier to carry around, and opens easier (it takes a lot of effort to open my toughbuilt all the way).
Yea they both will get the job done, however the extra weight on the Toughbuilt is shown throughout the table. The top and corners are solid and flat. The legs are beefier. The underneath has a better mechanism to collapse the handle and support the top. For me the biggest thing is none of the Dewalt tables are flat. I checked about 5 of them in the store last week and they were all bowed in the center before they were even used (some worse than others). Im a Dewalt guy, but in my opinion this isn't one of their better products.
Better quality steel used on the dewalt. Both dewalt & toughbuilt have been outside for most of the time & toughbuilt has rusted & become unsteady. Hubs I’ve changed for spider holster & put a bar across the sides for my holstery joey pouches.
Rarely I’ve found the handle to be in the way & more often than not useful.
Extra dog holes in the dewalt have also allowed me to use it as a bench for my mitre & table saws.
If it had clamps on rails as I have on my worx & Kettering & had a quick connect system to join a few together, it’d be something close to ideal for me
I'm not sure I would say one steel is better quality than the other without doing some sort of tension strength test. The Dewalt is clearly a thinner gauge when comparing the cross supports tho. Similar to many tools if you leave them out in the rain they will rust, but I would curious to see how bad it rusted. Do you have any pictures of the 2 showing the rust?
I have the Dewalt really like it and its on sale for $89 at Home Depot. $30 less than Toughbuilt!
Typically Dewalt and Toughtbuilt try to match prices on these tables for black Friday, however this year Toughbuilt appeared to not have any sales. Even at the full price I really like these Toughbuilt tables. My biggest gripe with the Dewalt is most of them aren't flat on the top (at least the 5 I checked at my local store).
Both are great workbenches. You failed to mention that the Dewalt is capable of 300 lbs, and the Toughbuilt is 1000 lbs. Thanks for the video!
The HD listing says 1000lbs also for the Dewalt
According to Dewalts website and label on the table it's also capable of 1000 lbs (mentioned at 5:24). Not sure if there is a different version somewhere else with only 300, however this one here in the video is for sure 1000 lbs just like the Toughbuilt.
You totally missed the bright yellow handle on the short side of the Dewalt. Makes it easier to carry.
I talked about both handles at 1:18. The only difference is the Dewalt is yellow and the Toughbuilt handle is black.
Apparently the Toughbuilt is no longer made or available. It's not at Lowes, or Amazon, and the only places that I can see one possibly available are seedy websites.
It appears its temporally out of stock. Unfortunately, Lowes is the only one in contract to sell the table and when they have items out of stock they remove listing on lowes.com. I'm sure it will be back soon as they ran some sales last month.
I spoke with Toughbuilt today and they acknowledged that some retailers are out of stock. They are currently working on replenishing stock and do not have an ETA.
What are the holes for?
They give you the option to use some bench dogs similar to this one here (amzn.to/3NYxi1f) to do a variety of things. They also make some dog hole clamps as well that will fit in those same dog holes on the table. For me personally I use them to keep material in place when sanding something on the top of the bench. Hope this helps.
@@TeamDIYNow thanks! As you can see, I am a beginner and at his was helpful info!
@@Fraxter3813 No problem, glad I was able to help!
I really like my DeWalt table but this Toughbuilt looks great, not worth the $119.00 that it is going for in the St. Louis area right now. I will have to wait for them to go on sale.
Yea I was surprised to see them not on sale this year around the holidays. Last year they were on sale around the holidays for months.
Excellent reviews! When you think they sell for +/-$150 here in France 😢 (they are hard to find in local stores). We only have the Stanley FatMax working table at a lower price (+/-$100) but of a much lower quality as well.
@@p.c.9714 Glad you like it! That Stanley table is nearly identical to the Dewalt one. I'm guessing since Stanley Black & Decker owns Dewalt, a lot of the parts are the same quality. The legs on Stanley version look even worse than the Dewalt!
It looks like Toughbuilt is being discontinued. Lowe's put them on clearance and are completely out of stock. So either a discontinued or a new rev is coming out.
I believe it's just out of stock at Lowes as they remove from the site when out of stock. With that said, maybe Toughbuilt is going to start selling through other retailers soon which is why Lowes no longer has stock. According to Toughbuilts site, it's still an active sku. I will reach out to them and find out for sure.
I spoke with Toughbuilt today and they acknowledged that some retailers are out of stock. They are currently working on replenishing stock and do not have an ETA.
The DeWalt is EXACTLY the same as the Stanley fatmax table which is a lot cheaper. The toughbuilt weighs a ton so not a daily portable table.
I believe Stanley makes two different tables, the regular one in the US for $69 is STST1155 (cheaper version than the Dewalt). The Fatmax version appears to be primarily sold outside the US and is the exact table as the Dewalt but is priced very similar. Here is the regular Stanley table: www.homedepot.com/p/Stanley-33-1-2-in-x-23-1-2-in-Fold-Up-Workbench-STST11552/319737721
Don't need a wiggly workbench...
Yea there are definitely some compromises if you want a portable lightweight workbench. The side-to-side motion is where you will see most of the movement. When standing in front of the workbench, it barely moves back and forth.
The DeWalt loses automatically because its made by DeWalt 😂
Its still shaking after fully deployed, maybe this is what a folding bench have to compromise
Exactly both of these will have some movement when setup. Side to side there is movement (like shown in video) because that is the direction the legs fold. However, front to back hardly moves while standing in front of the table.
Wish they made them bigger 🫠
Yea I agree, I'm sure there would be a decent market for a XL version as well. They would have to figure out a way to reinforce the larger table with only a slight increase in price. After you get up to the $200+ range you start getting into solid hardwood table options.
