anybody know what workmate this is?

[BWWgarage]

Hi. Anybody recognize which model this is? It’s in FBMP for $25. Looks like a real wood too but no measurement lines.

Looks like a Workmate 125 to me.


Mehh

Some more Googling ... looks like a pre-125

 

[Firebrick43]

Its definitely not a 100 or 85.

Possibly a 150 but its hard to tell by the picture.

Either way its not one of the 300 or 400 series that are much better.

I dunno, but I have two of them. Not their best work, I got mine for $15, and spent 15 on lost parts at initial assembly for one of them. More useful in pairs.

I have one and use it constantly. more than my older full version. the smaller lighter ones are just easier to use.

That's a smaller one - don't bother.

My guess would be a WM125 post 1998 as it was made in China.

The Brockville factory closed in 1998, and 500 people lost their jobs. As you can probably guess, Workmate manufacturing moved to China.

Unless you stick something ridiculously heavy on top it'll be fine.

I can not tell you which model but I have what looks like the same model, all the print is worn off the jaws or what ever the wood parts are called but it still works great. I've had it well over 20 years but couldn't pinpoint exactly when I bought it. Only complaint is the rubber feet fall off in the back of the truck.

Here’s an entire thread on workmates.

Black & Decker Workmate

I thought it would be appropriate to dedicate a thread to the Black & Decker Workmate, that folding, versatile bench and vise that has helped many a do-it-yourselfer around the world, including me. It has helped me immensely the odd times I have had to work with wood and sometimes even with the...

Black & Decker Workmate

I have a workmate 79-002 type 1. I need a couple of parts - the rubber feet that slip over the steel legs and the table crank handle. With all of the different models and revised designs/over the years how do I tell if parts I found will fit? Thanks Rick
