Thread: Harbor Freight’s popular workbench is on sale for $120

    Harbor Freight’s popular workbench is on sale for $120

    I love mine that is in use as my reloading bench. I paid $135 for mine and don’t regret the purchase at all.

    Wondering the same thing, as things I have seen assembled in stores, are not always done correctly, also still awaiting another answer, so I probably won't get this one answered either:

    This bench is pretty darn sturdy. The top is not solid hard wood though. I would through bolt any reloading press and not trust lag screws.

    I don't load on mine but I'd think it would be as good as any free standing bench could be.

    The wood will fail before the glue bond gives out.

    Bracing with a 2 X 4 on each side will help. On each end attach plywood to legs from floor up. On bench in the middle, attach 2 x 6 from front to back edges. Use this area for attaching press. For convenience, you may wish to use large C clamps for attaching press. If possible, anchor table to wall. Using a 2 X 6 as suggested is necessary to prevent flexing or breaking over time.

    I'm so very sorry you didn't get timely advice from a stranger on the internet. I suppose you feel owed.

    I don't think I can comment on that since mine has been bolted to the wall and floor since I got it.

    Owed, no. I didn't assume you would come back, based on evidence of hit and run bargain alerts.
