My B&D jaws finally died and replacements were almost the same price as a new workmate. I have never been overly fond of the pressed steel B&D frame which was never as good as the old cast aluminium ones. I had a look around and found this as a different design. Jaws are aluminium with plastic insert for the edge and the top that can move along the whole width of the bench. The handles have a quick release mechanism that is taking a bit of time to get used to but I think it will be fine once I get the hang of it. Only one height but I never used the lower height on B&D anyway and to be honest pulling all four legs out for the B&D was a pain. Bit of putting together out of the box but nothing hard. If you are going for a bench then you should be handy with a spanner anyway. Seems robust but only time will tell. Looks as though you can get the plastic jaw bits separately at a reasonable price so if they do wear, replacements should be OK. Seems a well thought out bit of kit rather than just copying B&D which is what most other options are.Read full review
