The Workmate 200 is a product by Black and Decker that acts as a portable workbench, vise and sawhorse. The Workmate 200 is ideal for a home workshop as the parallel vise jaws open to 5 ¼ inches, which enables you to secure a wide variety of projects. The portability of the Workmate 200 allows you to work inside or out, and adjusting it from one application to the next is not complicated.
