Bosch Work Bench PWB 600 (4 blade clamps, max. load capacity: 200 kg, in Carton Packaging)

Delivered quickly by Yodel to North Essex (Saffron Walden). Arrived in Bosch box in good condition. Simply unpacked it, had a quick glimpse at the instruction book just to be sure and opened bench out ready for work in seconds, it was as easy as that. Nothing to put together, no additional tools, easy to operate and light to carry yet feels strong. Ingenious design by Bosch. Simple to collapse and fold away, no getting fingers caught or struggling, it's a very easy bench to operate and finished to a high standard. Made in India written on box but don't let that put you off buying one of these, this is typical German quality. Very slim when stowed. My wife will be able to operate this with ease it's so simple to set up and take down. Has a very large bench top when open, giving a nice big flat work surface. The red plastic clamps which fit into the ready made holes of the work top can be stored underneath on the framework in purpose made holes, a feature I like because you know where they are and are easy to retrieve when you want to use them. Has a useful indent/tray area at the front for leaving a pencil or some screws while you are working. Handles work well and I noticed that the threaded bar connected to them and the vice/worktop even has a dab of grease on to keep it running smoothly. Being a keen DIY 56 year old with a lot of projects on the go including constructing a decking verandah outside our new conservatory, I think this will prove to be a good purchase and because of the build quality it will probably see me out! I recommend this product. UPDATE.3/6/13. Had this for a week now and have used it mostly for sawing 4 x 2 timber. I have to agree with a previous reviewer who said that it wobbled about when he was sawing wood. This is because of the excellent height of the bench and the fact that it has many joints in the fold out/in legs. I'm still glad I bought it. It's quality. I have since also purchased a B&D 301 from Amazon at a very good price. This is slightly more stable than this Bosch 600 when sawing wood, but the height is too low for me. I was put off buying the B&D 536 or 825 by all the negative views, but now I'm wondering??

It’s a great work bench a good quality work top and very stable at a good price. It’s heavy and very well made y

As titled , good and quite big as these things go. Consider if you need the extra size, as smaller benches are more manageable. The available area for clamping things down is limited on the half of the top with the screw handles, and the table movement on the screws isn’t huge. Plastic dogs for inserting into the table holes are a bit feeble, but do the job, just, and at least have a storage place in the framework. The minor but irritating bit I am finding is the bar between the two legs, this is a bonus whilst collapsing the bench, but does seem to be in the way of my feet quite a lot, so dropped a star for that. Despite the above points, it is a good bench, light for its size, and I am pleased I chose it over B&D and smaller cheap benches.

Great workbench... Very sturdy, highly recommend

I had almost given up on finding a proper folding workbench. Like many I have given-up on the original Black & Decker range since whey introduced the cheap plastic caps that the threads screw into, as these break all too often. Indeed the B&D range is so cheaply made that they provide no meaningful service life. The Draper, Clarke and Sealey versions are no better, although the Woolcraft range has some redeeming features but lacks outright strength. But the new Bosch PWB 600 is in a different league to them all. The machining, fit and finish of the load-bearing parts is incredible. The folding action is super smooth, easy to accomplish and produces either a stable platform or an ultra thin square shape for easy storage. The extra large top deck is welcome, as is the use of bamboo and you can even snug-up a stool or similar as the overhang at the rear can cater for your knees. The dogs are well made, do the business and stow away at the rear of the lower green bar with the Bosch logo. Of equal quality is the tool tray, which is a well finished metal tray that should cope with robust use and it does not get in the way. The black bar near floor level means you can slip a foot or toe on it to provide extra stability when wrestling with more challenging project. Hard to find many negatives, but being picky I would have liked the imbedded metal ruler to fit flush with the surface and have inches as well as metric. A slightly larger span to clamp larger parts, without resorting to the dogs, would have been nice too. Clearly designed with the professional in mind, the price (given the quality) will attract the premium end of the DIY market. For the DIYers that have suffered a failure of the other types of workbench should look at this too, whatever their budget. A must have item for the mobile professional or the DIYer who is looking for a product built to last - fantastic!

The perfect gift for my dad. Easy to assemble and pack away again, a quality product that he uses all the time. Definitely value for money, would recommend over other work benches.

This replaced my 59 year old rusty Black & Decker Workmate which has served me well. This is much lighter & a bigger work area. After lots of online research, this stood out & I'm not disappointed. Trusted brand.

Bosch never disappoints

Stevig, compact op te vouwen. Perfecte werkbank voor elke klus.

Le modèle est haut et télescopique. Stable et se range sans problème.

Very happy with quality and functionality

Después de 3 años de uso. Este es de esos productos que cuesta lo que vale. Antes de nada os explico el uso: yo no soy profesional, me gustan las reformas y hago un poco de todo, pero solo para mi o algún amigo, vaya que trabajo y no cobro jejeje. 👀 Vayamos al banco, pero el de trabajo, que cuesta caro pero no para pedir un préstamo...para mi es muy práctico, me ahorra mucho trabajo. La base es firme, y cuando tienes que hacer fuerza, el hierro que está en la parte baja, te sirve para pisarlo mientras haces fuerza y no se mueve. Los 4 soportes que trae, que encajan en los agujeros de la mesa, son de mucha ayuda para topes de tableros, barras o demas cosas que queramos cortar, lijar, cepillar, fresar, etc... además de hacer de mordaza. Las manivelas que hacen abrir y cerrar la mesa por la mitad, haciendo de gato, son muy prácticos, y te sacan de muchos apuros. Aunque no son sargentos que trasmitan mucha fuerza y se queden fijos, si los usas junto con unos gatos/sargentos, son una solución ideal. La bandeja bajo la mesa, viene muy bien para el lapiz, dejar tornillos, puntas del atornillador, etc... El tablero es de bambú y las patas y demás, de aluminio reforzado, con tacos de goma en los extremos. 👍 Se pliega muy bien, se habre igual de bien, la tengo de hace ya 3 años, y esta casi como nueva. El peso para transporte plegada, es aceptable, se lleva bien y coge en el maletero del coche, reclinando los asientos...no tengo furgoneta. 📌 En resumen, creo que es de los mejores bancos de trabajo del mercado... y eso que al principio me resistía a comprarlo, y de hecho, no lo compré, me lo regaló mi mujer para mi cumpleaños, y le estoy muy agradecido. Ahora que lo he usado, lo compraría. 👎 Que la fuerza que hace las manivelas para usarlo de mordaza, no trasmiten la presión de un sargento. 👋 Esta opinión recoge las características del producto a simple vista, y mi opinión personal en función del uso que yo le he dado. Si tienes alguna duda, haz una pregunta, y si me llega, y conozco la respuesta, la contestaré gustosamente. He intentado exponer la máxima información sobre el producto, para que tú puedas tomar la mejor decisión de compra. Lo que no sé, es si lo habré conseguido... 🤔 Gracias.
