Markings worn off.
Can anyone identify this workmate type thing?

Looks like it could be a Chinese multi brand type. It looks a good design though, and more sturdy than the modern stuff out of China.
The planks aren't original, as these things normally use engineered wood tops for stability.

It's at a mates house, he said someone gave it to him years back because the wood had rotted, he replaced it with the ash he had. The orange is from a mountain bike frame he rattle canned on it.
I'm seriously impressed how strong but light it is, both planks can be angled at 90 and 45 degrees, seems real quality compared to my workmate and easier to set up, stronger and lighter and a bit taller too.
I'd like to get one if I could.

Was gunna.
But a bit busy trying to sort out a house for my next tenant and thought someone might recognize it on here.

It's a wickes brand work bench, I got one about 20 years ago, still using it now, but it's very tired and damaged.

I do recognise it but of course can't remember the make/brand. I do have a Wickes workmate that lives out in the garage cos it aint that good, handy for a movable bench to dump stuff on though. Oh, and it is a different colour as well, mine is black.
If I remember I'll have a look at mine tomorrow to compare.

I don’t now but I like the look of it. Most of the offerings these days have the spindly side supports you click over a rivet head but I like the heavy hinges on that.
I’d say German. They are the only ones daft enough to engineer that.

Had a look at my Wickes workmate, not the same at all, different mechanism for angling the top, lighter construction, different colour.
