A portable workbench is a useful tool for construction and personal use. It should be sturdy and not wobbly, and some have adjustable panels to serve as a vice. High-end models have storage capacity and are mounted on wheels.

A portable workbench is a piece of equipment that is often used in construction and sometimes used for personal use at home. Most commonly a portable workbench is used to hold tools and act as a sawhorse. Because users can collapse a portable workbench and move it from location to location, it’s a useful item for site-specific work. People who work in woodworking and construction sometimes carry around a portable workbench so they have a surface to work on and use to organize their tools. A portable workbench can also be useful for people who only have a small amount of space in their garages, tool sheds or work rooms and need to be able to fold and store their workbenches after completing a project.

The most important feature of a portable workbench is its sturdiness. Many of these workbenches are advertised based on the amount of weight they can support. In addition to being able to support a good amount of weight and pressure, it’s also important that a workbench doesn’t feel wobbly at all. Working on an unstable surface can be very dangerous. This means that not only is it important to choose a sturdy, well-made workbench, but it’s also important to set it up on firm, even ground before using it.

It is also common for a portable workbench to serve as a vice. If the workbench top is two panels of wood or metal, these panels may be adjustable. By using a hand crank to bring the two sections together or apart, the portable workbench top can hold objects tightly as a vise would, keeping objects stationary as they are worked on. Not all portable workbenches offer this feature, but it is important for some people who use portable workbenches on a regular basis.

Some high-end portable workbenches are made with large storage capacity in the form of cabinets and drawers that fit under the bench’s work surface. Unlike other folding workbenches, these types of portable workbenches are often mounted on wheels that can be locked in place. The larger a portable workbench and the more storage capacity, the higher the price.
