Customer Reviews

Last year I purchased the 2x4 basics model 14429 Workbench from Amazon. After obtaining the necessary wood and putting it together, I liked it so much I bought another workbench. I then posted my detailed review for the model 14429.
Recently I decided to buy yet another 2x4 Basics workbench. The 14429 was no longer available from Amazon. Instead, this 'new model' 90164 was offered by Amazon. I purchased it.
I have no idea what the difference is. It is the exact same workbench as the earlier model.
As I noted in my other review you are purchasing the hardware (the four legs, which are a very heavy grade plastic, wood screws, hooks and clamps). You must obtain your own wood (to make my 6 foot by 2 foot workbench I bought seven 96-inch long 2 x 4s, plus three 6-foot by 2-foot boards that serve as the bottom, middle and top counters). Simply cut your 2 x 4s to the proper length (for a workbench that is six feet long and two feet wide, you will need six 2/4s that are 72 inches long, six 2 x 4s that are 21 inches long, and one 2x4 that is 71 7/8ths inches long). If you go to the page for the older model and go through the pictures supplied by reviewers you will find a scan of the size wood you will need for various size workbenches you may wish to build.
The instructions are very simple and consist of pictures (no words). The pictures simply show the sequence for putting the workbench together. You will need your power screwdrive with a Phillips tip. I put the first two workbenches together by myself, while my wife helped with the third one (having an extra person is very helpful although not essential).
The result is a very, very sturdy workbench. Place your various machines (meter saw, band saw, what have you) on top with confidence. This workbench also comes with 8 plastic things that you use to build upper shelves, but I had yet to use them. I like my workbenches to be clean on top. I also do not use the supplied hooks and clamps (for my first workbench I installed a clamp: it is a joke. You may be able to clamp a work-piece that is half-an-inch thick, but no thicker).

This quality product makes creating your own custom bench a snap. Total build time, by myself, was about 30 minutes with pre-cut lumber. Sure it costs a little more than making your own legs but I don't have wood working clamps so the price difference was a wash for me. Plus with the shelves built in to hold the 2x4's it was much easier. It is also much cheaper than buying a bench from a brick and mortar store.
I use this bench mainly for a reloading press but I also have a vice mounted and I haven't had any issues with either. The best part is that if you want to change the size of your bench at a later date it's a quick tear down and rebuild. Because of which, if you are undecided on bench size, cut your lumber for the larger size and see if it works. Modifying for the smaller size is easy if it's too big.
Overall I'm very impressed with this product. It comes with some hangers and clamps that I haven't used but I'm sure would work. Not that fancy but they aren't meant to be.
