Review on BLACK+DECKER Workmate Portable Workbench WM125: 350 lb. Capacity - Efficient and Mobile by Eric Weber

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great item with terrible assembly instructions. Just awful. For real.

When I was little, my father had one. It kinda worked... But it never worked right, the knobs were always tightened and the surface was never really flat because of the protruding hex screws. I figured it was just because my dad was very, very bad at packing. He was, that's true. But now that I've assembled two of these myself, I can say that I've never come across such pointless instructions with worse circuitry, even in 40 years of assembling IKEA furniture and other damn things with no problems. I mean honestly. Halfway through, trying to decipher the image, I just burst out laughing. That's insultingly bad! You could have given up teaching altogether. But when assembled, it's great! God help you if you misplace the check. There's no turning back once this suction cup is in place.

Pros
  • practical thing
Cons
  • clarity
