Coming thru town this morning I saw but one garage sale sign. Before I headed downtown for a burger I followed the markers to the sale. Looked like a clean out everything, we're moving sale. Some Taiwan tools in a cardboard box, along with a Milwaukee battery device. By the garage, no, not rust, but a Black & Decker Workmate work bench. It was folded up, so I expanded it, looking at all the cobwebs, no rust anywhere. Then I realized the top was pristine. Model 425, with black work surface, and geared vise hand cranks. Walked around it, and can see nothing saying its ever, been even slightly used. I have 2, do I need another one. This has the 2 levels, folding feature, unused, garage sale so there is no tax, hmmm. I bought it, found out her dad had bought a bunch of woodworking stuff and never used it. Looks like they go for $100 plus, I paid 30, I think I got a good deal. I have another one that has the two level legs, but I got it for free. I see a pattern and sorta like it.

I have at least three, all from garage sales.

I have one of those too. They're great. Great buy too. Mines used but not abused even though I weld on mine. With a piece of steel plate on top of it.
