The best tool stands for projects requiring a portable workbench

For safety and convenience, you need a portable workbench for woodworking and tool storage. Luckily, a dependable tool stand does both and collapses into an easy-to-carry bench when you’re done for the day. To help you decide on the best work accessory for your carpentry needs, we’ve listed the best tool stands here.

Toolbox stands typically feature a flat top for a variety of work tasks like sawing, varnishing, and sanding. Some models provide a convenient bottom rack for tools and personal belongings, which is especially useful for compact worksites. Tool stands should be a breeze to set up and carry, but be sturdy enough to withstand heavy work tools and all-day use. Helpful features include carrying handles, antislip leg bottoms, and durable metal legs. Let’s check out our choices to see which product works for you.

Keter Folding Table Work Bench

Best Storage Capability

Keter’s stand-up toolbox is a portable, two-level workbench with a built-in carrying handle, double 12-inch clamps, and a weather-resistant body. Aluminum legs and a heavy-duty resin frame means you can stack up to 1,000 pounds of tools and force onto this portable workbench, and it won’t budge. When folded up, it measures a space-efficient 4.4 inches thick.

BLACK+DECKER Workmate Portable Workbench

Best Value

The BLACK+DECKER 15-pound toolbox stand is engineered with a tough steel frame and wooden top that holds up to 350 pounds. This compact workbench features nonslip feet that prevent shifting and sliding during use. Swivel pegs allow you to attach irregularly shaped objects onto the workbench.

WORX Pegasus Multi-Function Work Table

Most Functional

The WORX portable tool stand is designed with function in mind, featuring a no-assembly setup, two quick tool clamps, and four dog clamps. This bench supports up to 300 pounds, but it is equipped with leg locks for added safety. A lower bottom shelf provides extra space for storage on the job.

Stand-up toolboxes are more than storage solutions, they’re portable work solutions that accompany you to every work site you visit. If you have a permanent carpentry shop, this collapsible tool is still convenient for saving space. Try a portable workbench on our list, so you can work safely anywhere you go.
