Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There is a video from Black and Decker which shows you how to install the bench, link is below: EDIT: Amazon wouldn't let me post the link, but if you search Youtube for "Black and Decker workmate 125 assembly" you will find it. As lots of other people pointed out, the installation instructions are terrible, which is the main downside to this product. But if you watch the video (and pause it at key points to look at the workmate in various stages of assembly) you shouldn't have a problem. A few other important things to note: - Don't use the stupid cotter pins to hammer in the handles! Its really hard to get them in properly and you risk hurting yourself or bending the handle out of shape with the hammer. As another reviewer pointed out, use #6-32 1 & 1/4 nuts and bolts instead. Buy a pack of 6 ( 99 cents from home depot), you will need the other 4 to resolve the next issue.... - The rubber feet will fall off constantly, which is annoying. To fix that you can drill holes through the feet and legs so that you can install nuts and bolts to hold them on (see picture). Drilling a 9/64 hole will be enough to make the #6-32 bolts fit in. I know.... it would have been nice if Black & Decker just manufactured the thing this way, and just provided you with the $0.99 pack of bolts. But even with these shortcomings, it still deserves 5 stars when you factor in extremely low price tag ($29), and more importantly, the fact that once it is assembled properly, its a solid product. More versatile and useful than many other things which cost much more.
