Workbenches

Different styles of workbenches for your home office, garage, woodshop, craft table, and more.

Manual height adjustment; High weight capacity; on rollers so you can move it around your workshop. You could buy a pegboard and a light and turn it into a complete workbench instead of just a desk.
WORKPRO | Rolling Adjustable (Standing) Workbench
 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
Wooden Top and Dual Motor that can support 500 lbs. Great as a workbench or an office desk.
WORKPRO | 48" x 24” Electric Standing Height Adjustable Workbench

Great amount of storage on the workbench. Only negative is the pegboard isn’t metal.
WORKPRO | Workbench and Cabinet Combo
 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
You can make your own bench with a flip top, but this one is made of metal if that is important to you.
‎POWERTEC | Mobile Workbench with Flip Top and Caster Wheels

The extension table is what makes this rolling cabinet/workbench so great.

Stainless Steel pegboard and tabletop. Why does that matter? It means it works with magnets.
SEVILLE CLASSICS | Workbench
 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
The adjustable height tabletop is what makes this mobile tool storage workbench special. If they come out with a standard duty version then it should be cheaper.
HUSKY | Mobile Workbench Cabinet with Adjustable Height Wood Top
 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
It’s a portable tabletop with dog holes and t-tracks. You will need legs too, but works better than a resin table.
BORA | 24-in x 48-in Wood MDF Portable Work Bench Top
 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
You will need these legs if you decide to buy the Bora portable workbench.
BORA | Centipede 48-in x 36-in x 24-in Steel Saw Horse

Seating

Roll around your workshop on a wheeled stool. Have fun when you’re taking a break and time yourself doing a lap around the shop.
SEVILLE CLASSICS | Pneumatic Work Stool
 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
Has a 450 lb weight capacity so it should be built strong.
VEVOR | 2-in-1 Hybrid Creeper + Stool

Organization & Storage

 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
The great thing about this storage system is that you can mount it on the wall in your workshop and also take it with you when you need to be mobile.
RIDGID | Pro Gear Storage System
 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
Many brands sell these. This is the cheapest I’ve found.
Masterforce | Nonslip Silicone Tool Tray Set - 3 Piece

I prefer the tilt bins to the pull out bins.

Most of these cabinet/chest combos are pretty similar. What’s special about this one? You can buy it from Sam’s Club, which means it comes with a satisfaction guarantee and a great return policy.
Tongrun 36" 8-Drawer Tool Chest and Cabinet Combo

Power

Great to mount on a workbench for more outlets. NOT A SURGE PROTECTOR.
RIDGID | Power Strip | 6-ft; 8-Outlet; 1 USB-A; 1 USB-C
 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
Make sure your expensive electronics and equipment are plugged into a surge protector.
RIDGID | Surge Protector | 8-ft; 6-Outlet; 2.4 Amp USB-A; 15-Watt USB-C; 2100J

Another surge protector, but with more outlets.
RIDGID | Surge Protector | 10-ft; 10-Outlet; 2.4 Amp USB-A; 15-Watt USB-C; 4200J

Sequential means that although this charger has 6 ports, only 1 battery will charge at a time. Also works as a way to keep your batteries organized. Ridgid does make a 2-port simultaneous charger if that is something you need.
RIDGID | 6-Port Sequential Charger for 18V Batteries

Miscellaneous

 
Raymond Chelf profile picture
The 4-in-1 feature makes this thing very useful. You can use it like a saw horse, or it has 3 types of rollers for whatever you are trying to feed and cut. 400 lb + weight capacity too.
VEVOR | 4-in-1 Roller Stand

When you have trouble explaining what needs to be done to your partner—draw it.
Dry Erase Board

Pair your phone or listen to the radio. Hybrid power so you can plug it in or use a Ridgid battery. And because it’s Ridgid, it comes with a lifetime service agreement.
RIDGID | Jobsite Radio with Bluetooth
