- Now that I'm 71 years old, and after a lifetime of occasional DIY, holding things down with one knee while sawing or drilling with an awkward posture, I finally purchased my first WorkMate, a WM550.
I'm very pleased with it, as it has made the particular job I'm doing at the moment so much easier and quicker.
Reading online reviews, there were many warnings about the new ones being flimsier than the old ones. I wouldn't know about this, but it's perfectly adequate for DIY jobs. You have to treat it with what I would call “mechanical sympathy”, ….. only tighten the grip enough to hold the work adequately, and no further. It works fine, and will last a long time if handled correctly.

- The instructions were another matter! Black & Decker have changed the design in several places, but the “picture only” instructions have not been updated to reflect the changes.
I started out thinking things were missing, but after a lot of inspection of parts, and some engineering lateral thinking, (I'm a retired engineer), I realised what the problems were. Assembly was therefore a lot of trial and error.
Amusingly, it soon became apparent that the “Black & Decker Workmate” logo on the framework was upside-down! As it is made in China, this is not surprising, but does cast doubt on the quality control system, if it exists. If I was assembling it for the Chinese market, I'd probably get Chinese script upside-down as well.
