10 Best Folding Work Benches UK 2022 | Keter, Bosch and More

The Workmate Plus from Black + Decker is the ultimate bench for the keen DIYer, thanks to its versatility and sturdy build quality. Its dual working heights and vertical clamping vice, mean it can be used as a simple workbench, a tool stand, sawhorse, or vice.

It's easy to set up and fold down whilst being able to safely support an impressive 250 kg thanks to its durable steel frame. Whatever project you have in mind around the home or garden, the Workmate Plus will be able to handle it!

The Keter Master Pro features a unique two-tiered design that can support an extremely impressive 453 kg of weight. Although the table itself doesn't open up, it comes with two clamps that can be installed both vertically and horizontally, and you can store tools on the second shelf without them getting in the way.

Although it supports a large amount of weight, the table is relatively portable, folding down flat into a briefcase-like design to carry. If you're working remotely, this will easily slide into a truck or van without taking up much space at all.

This compact option from Black + Decker is an excellent choice if you're looking for something portable as it's the lightest option on our list at only 3 kg. Although it's lightweight, it's incredibly sturdy and can reliably support weights of up to 160 kg.

Thanks to its dual handed clamps, you can easily work on awkward and irregularly shaped items like a bicycle or pieces of furniture. The workbench legs also feature rubber anti-slip feet which helps avoid the risk of slipping. 

Founded in the UK in 1919, Draper is a family run business who have been making affordable and reliable equipment for over a century. This budget workbench is perfect if you need to do some light work around the home or have a small project in mind.

It comes with four plastic clamping dogs and twelve holes to work with, making it a decent all in one package. For a budget offering, this bench is well made and sturdy if you have light work in mind, just make sure not to overload it!

When it comes to folding benches, having a sturdy work surface in a variety of environments is crucial and is where the Bosch PWB 600 shines. Thanks to the folding mechanism, it takes just seconds to be taken down and set up.

Its two bamboo work surfaces are water-repellant and sloped, meaning that you can sand and plane clamped materials without damaging the bench. Thanks to the fact that the two cranks can be adjusted independently and the inclusion of four plastic clamping dogs, even oddly shaped items can be held easily.

Similar to the Ketet Pro, this bench is aimed at professionals looking to support some serious weight in the workplace. The X-shaped grooves in the centre make it surprisingly versatile in what it can clamp and the angles you can work with.

Just keeping it out of our top five is the fact that while it is compatible with vertical and horizontal clamping, it doesn't come with any included. If you're a professional tradesman with plenty of tools already, though, this is well worth picking up for the price.

With a reinforced steel body, the Pegasus Multi-Function Work Table can support up to 454 kg in its sawhorse mode. It can also be folded out to provide a larger surface area to work with at the cost of its maximum load capacity.

Coming with two quick clamps and four plastic dogs, this bench is able to secure a variety of materials. However, its multi-functional design does mean it's difficult to secure things horizontally, so it makes for a somewhat better sawhorse than a workbench.

The Fold Down Workbench from Draper is one of the best options if you're looking for a larger maximum vice width in a smaller, lightweight bench. Draper's tools are specially made for all trades, and that's clear to see with this bench.

While it's well-made, if you're on a budget, there are better options available for such a low maximum capacity. Still, if build quality and reliability are important, this is well worth picking up.

Silverline is a well-known brand in the tool and construction industry for creating affordable and reliable hand tools, and this portable workbench is no different. This lightweight option, in particular, is designed for remote site work.

Unfortunately, the supplementary information provided with this bench makes it difficult to put together according to many customer reviews, so it may not be suitable for everyone. Silverline is a brand well worth trusting, though!

The Clamping Workbench from Vonroc is a very solid budget option capable of supporting up to 150 kg of weight while staying secure, thanks to its anti-slip pads. It's a compact and lightweight option that would be handy to have around the home.

There are cheaper budget-friendly options available, and frustratingly there is no information available regarding the maximum vice width. However, if you're looking for a sturdy bench on a budget and aren't worried about clamping, this is a very good choice.
