Feature
Featuring the face value and design of a product for its primary purposes is very unlike us. But once you take a look at the WINDSOR harbor freight workbench, you’ll know why.
The heavy duty WINDSOR harbor freight workbench measures 60 inches in length, 21 inches in width, and almost 34 inches in height. It is therefore clearly one monster of a workbench from the get-go. Apart from the massive working surface that comes with pipe clamps to support the work piece, there are furthermore 4 drawers with a smooth slide that can be aligned with a little force. Each drawer measures 21 inches in length, almost 13 inches inwards and 3 inches in height.
You clearly have plenty of space to work and spacious tool cabinet to store your essentials, central machinery (Olympia tool or northern tool) and valuable item numbers safely inside them. Apart from smooth drawer slides another very neat and thoughtful detail you most admire about the drawers on the Windsor harbor freight workbench is that they come pre-lined with felt fabric drawer liner and they are the perfect tool chest for your hand tools like wrenches, circular saws, table saw etc. I believe that will make you pretty happy! Not only that, to facilitate storing larger and heavier items, like power tools, tool boxes, etc. This decent bench plus husky tool chest furthermore comes with a lower shelf underneath the drawers! Even if that doesn’t serve you as tool storage, we think it a great place to rest your feet as well.
And if that weren’t enough, the Windsor harbor freight workbench also offers you a precision-machined wood block vise with a 7-inch capacity and pre-drilled dog holes to secure and cut your “plywood piece”. Neat! Our harbor freight workbench review can go on and on about admiring the ingenious design of this thing, but it has more features to appreciate ahead.
Construction
The WINDSOR harbor freight workbench is made from very high-quality oak hardwood with a solid wood top which is ready to stand the test of time and your projects for years and years to come. On top of that, literally, the work surface has a layer of clear protective lacquer finish which furthermore ensures durability and stands against rotting, fading, chipping, etc, while also defining the beauty of the look of natural hardwood. Other than this, you must also keep in mind that the WINDSOR harbor freight tool carts comes in parts, or is unassembled. You will, of course, have the handy manual and instruction booklet along so don’t worry. And in case you fear the process, rest assured that almost all buyer of this workbench has had an easy time setting it up.
Strength and Durability
For a workbench this massive, solid, and quality tool, so you can probably expect it to withstand and hold a lot. And, you will not be disappointed!
The WINDSOR harbor freight tool cart can hold up to 250 pounds in weight! That’s a whopping amount of weight to hold a workbench that itself weighs less than 150 pounds. This workbench weight about 115 pounds so you are getting almost twice the weight capacity from it. Incredible, we know. The 4 legs on this bench also make the body very stable and balanced on a flat, even surfaces. You can do just about anything from cutting, drilling, be sawing, be brushing, etc, and not have to worry about these beats of a workbench moving an inch from the workload!
