I had heard that before. A friend of mine has an S3 Elan - he's the one who
told me.

Subject: [Spridgets] Jawhorse or Workmate?
List,
I've been
looking for a portable workbench setup for a while now so I
can
do some
grinding, welding and other fabrication work on my car parts and
wanted to
know what the list is using. Initially I wanted a Workmate by
Black
& Decker
because it sounds like what I need, a portable workbench I
can fold
up stick
in the garage or shed and take it out on the driveway or
lawn to do
some work
but the plastic crank handles just floored my
perception of the
product. I was
so disappointed to see any plastic
altogether.
I thought maybe
the first
generation Workmate was all metal parts but I
can't confirm that. I
do know
the first gen was cast iron but nobody on
craigslist is will to mail
it to me
even if I paid extra and of course
shipping. So below is a link for
Popular
Mechanics article Jawhorse or
Workmate so now I'm thinking of the
Jawhorse but
is their anything else?
What are you guys using? Or maybe I
should just make
something? I must have
something foldable for my small
storage availability.
Thanks,
Lin
