Eastwood 8 Pieces Steel Work Bench Brackets | 3/16 inch Heavy Gauge Steel Workbench Supports | DIY Heavy Duty Craft Table | Work Benches for Garage | Fabricated in The USA | Shop Table Kit

I needed a bench for reloading. I didn't want to spend a fortune and needed it in the near future. This bench kit allowed me to build a bench in less than a week. It's very sturdy and accommodates all my equipment. You can build a small, medium or large bench with this hardware. If you have a saw, drill and wrench, that's all it take to build a great bench. I'd build another one in a heart beat if I needed one.

I have a long history with Eastwood and their quality products. When I saw these corner brackets from Eastwood I didn't hesitate purchasing them for my workbench project, and once agin they did not disappoint. These are very thick and substantial pieces of steel. Though they are unfinished, one should clean them off well with denatured alcohol, prime and paint them. The instructions are straight forward and clear. I put on a set of heavy duty wheels so I could move the workbench as needed. When all was said and done this was a good investment.

Wow, This is awesome heavy duty brackets for my bench, that will no doubt outlive me. When I say heavy duty……I mean each bracket is 5 pounds of high strength steel and you get 8 of them. Just superb quality and excellent craftsmanship. They are so much better than the cheaper ones being advertised. No comparison! Be careful when you are pulling them out of the packaged bag since they might fall out from plastic bag due to the weight.I will be ordering another set and certainly recommend this to others.

My mistake I thought the 3/8 x 16 x 4 1/2 bolts, nuts, and washers were included as it's called a kit. They are not, add an additional 50.00 for hardware. It should not be called a kit if not complete, However the brackets are worth it, very sturdy indeed. Also not painted or primed and weight close to 50 lbs but shipping is included.But as stated bent well. holes for bolts punched correctly, look for these brackets to never wear out.

It was fairly easy to build the workbench. The only point it to round the edge of the 4x4 a bit with a surform.WARNING: Make sure you paint them. The factory rust proofing is not great. Six weeks after assembling the workbench we had a significant amount of rust. They never got wet, but they were sitting in the humid Alabama summer air.

Product performed as promised. Generally I like the appearance. The only kind of distraction is that some of the bolt holes are not inline with the centerline. I admit that if I had used washers instead of using flat bar, the deficiencies would not be as noticeable and really does not affect function, only appearance, but I elected for stronger clamping of the flat bar. That’s why I dropped a star. Computer run CNC laser cutter should be more precise. I’m changing my review of the holes. For ease of assembly I used a 32nd” bigger drill. The misalignment is from the difference between the bolt and the hole.

I decided to use 3/8”x 4” carriage bolts instead of the recommended 4 1/2”. The shorter bolts along with acorn nuts makes for a much nicer appearance. Also, using 4x4’s throughout enhanced the look of this garage utility table. The top is 1 7/8” finger joint maple butcher block.

Painted to match toolboxes.
