Thanks for the video. My 425 arrived yesterday (Friday of Father's Day weekend 2021) I opened the box, found the instructions, skimmed thru it for a couple of seconds and tossed it on the floor. I had seen this video last week, and found it again yesterday. Your video was a time saver for me. So, thank you for deconstructing your 425 so you could show us how to assemble it. I'm sure you went thru a bit of work of taking yours apart, filming, editing, and putting the table back together. Thanks for your time, and Happy Father's Day to you! 🍺🍺

The funny papers that came with this product were the worst assembly instructions I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen a lot because I'm old AF. Your video was very helpful, and would have saved me a lot of time if I had just thrown the instructions away and watched it first. My first clue was when the instructions showed the middle piece on the back and the back piece in the middle. I looked at the picture on the box AND on the front of the comic book and they contradicted what the instructions "showed" if I may use that word, for lack of a better verb. Stanley/Black & Decker/ Anheuser Busch / Mr. Boston vodka should pay you double what they paid the Chinese comic fiction writer who made the grafitti that came in the box. Black & Decker should make a Ouija board so I can tell my grandfather that the Workmate is now made of bamboo and 25 gauge sheet metal. I'd screw some razor blades to his coffin and use it for a wood lathe as he spins in his grave at 20,000 RPM.

Great video! Thanks. Used to own an original work mate from the early 80s and I moved and sold it for 20$. I deserve a kick. Doing some renos for a friend and just bought a 425. I noticed that there is a plastic perforated strip that is wrapped around both crank handle screws located right under the metal rail with all the printing. This strip rotates the other handle if you turn the other. Does this have to be cut as I remember the cranks being independent?

I didn't find the instructions incomprehensible, but they were cryptic. I heard so many comments about the instructions though I needed to check out this video to make sure I was assembling it correctly and didn't miss some hidden secret. So, the video was helpful. The hardest part of the assembly is installing the spring bearings that hold the vise handles. I'd suggest crimping just the bearing insertion end being careful not to close the slot. A squirt or 2 of lubricant, like WD 40, on the bearing and into the hole in the worm gear shaft should allow for an easier insertion. The idea of using this type of fitting though to hold the handle strikes me as a poor design. I eventually needed a small punch to fully seat the bearing through the shaft. There's still an annoying wobble in the vise handles but apparently it doesn't inhibit the action of the vise. Possibly I could have rigged some setup using washers to reduce play, but I thought about that too late and possibly the lubricant is allowing the bearings to move slightly. Over time those bearings will dry out so maybe the wobble starts to disappear.

I love this channel and bought my first workmate 425 because of it. I just out it together but the "tape" that synchronizes the two handles came off of the right handles pronged gear. (It also has a small tear in it so I could exchange it but that would take forever and I am not sure it is worth the hassle. I could also send away for the part.). However, I also see the benefit from the handles not being in sync for tapered pieces etc. How did you achieve this? Did you pop it off from both sides or just cut it? I see this one in the video still has the tape. But it appears to be off the gear.
