Review on Black & Decker WM225 and WM425 Leg Catch Replacement - Pack of 4 (Part No. 242416-00-4pk) by Matthew Evans

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If you have an old Workmate 200 you will need some work

I bought these because one of the answers to the question was that they work with all Workmate products with folding legs. It's almost like that. The round post that goes through the sheet metal is slightly larger and not as far from the edge as the original. A few taps with a chainsaw sharpening file and it fits in the hole, locking the leg in place but doesn't actually lock the leg in the folded position. I'm OK with that because it drove me nuts when I slipped a few inches on a co-worker and my foot fell off. Just be warned. I have two of these devices and a larger one when they first showed up. I assume the same trick works for both.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Speed
