purchased this productGood for the hobbyist who has little space and needs a clamping bench.
The assembly is complex but doable, similar to IKEA furniture. A place for the folding mechanism was poorly finished, so the bench was not stable at first. With some creativity I could solve this, so that the bench is now stable.
The unfolding and folding is not quite as easy as it looks in the video, but you can get used to it.
What is missing but would be very useful, would be a bowl or container or the like, where you can reintun screws and other small parts, so they do not fall down or have to put on the floor. I bought a magnetic bowl, which now "hangs" on the rack.
It would also be better if there were more holes in the bar where the clamp parts are stored. There you could store the screwdriver when you are not using it.
Still, I'm quite happy with it.
I ordered the drill attachment and wrote a review about it.Pro
- Foldable, so easy to store
- Height adjustable
- Clamps workpieces quite well
- Stable except for heavy lateral movements e.g. planing
- The 2 parts of the work surface can be cranked apart for a large work surface
- Degree scale and ruler are marked on the work surface
Contra
- Not easy to assemble, because one part is badly finished
- One crank is difficult
- Cranking only possible by pushing the lower bar down with one foot
- Could be higher
- There is no storage area or tray for e.g. screws, screwdrivers etc.

purchased this productperfect as a supplement to a workbench (= work table)
I find the term workbench misleading, the Wolfcraft Master is a clamping table and can only supplement a workbench, but not replace it. The Wolfcraft 700 offers a high degree of flexibility (tilt the work surface, vary the working height), together with the clamping jaws supplied, almost any workpiece can be fixed in the ergonomically optimal position, moving the workpiece and clamps, frequent changes of working position etc., which cannot be avoided with a workbench, are more or less unnecessary.
The flexibility in fixing stationary tools is high, but I can't really benefit from that, my stock of stationary tools is very manageable. I prefer to drill holes (continuous or for grub screws) in the worktop exactly where my equipment would like them, once and then never again. I find it tedious to have to search for the "optimal hole combination, the washer that fits the screw, etc." every time I set up a workbench.
Fixing workpieces whose surface is larger than the maximum available area of the clamping table gnaws away at its stability - after all, a clamping table is not intended for working on door leaves, table tops, etc. It's just a matter of time.
And - just between us - it is also a good idea to keep an eye on your fingers and toes when opening and closing the Wolfcraft 700 ...Pro
- Securely clamps workpieces with irregular outer shapes
- saves tedious moving of screw/clamp clamps
- Ergonomic thanks to height adjustability
Contra
- The attachment of stationary devices is complex
- is overtaxed with large-area workpieces

purchased this productStable & helpful, aggravated folding mechanism
The thing is very stable because it is heavy (not meant in a negative way). But the folding mechanism needs a little practice. It has 4 plastic parts that you press into 4 holes in the lower bar. Unfortunately, the first hole is too far to the edge, so that when it is folded, a plastic part is squeezed there. Not very wisely designed, when there would have been more space.
Helpful for small workshops, also because it can be folded very flat.Pro
- Stable
- Meaningful
- Compact, easily stowable
Contra
- Folding mecahnism
- Supply of helpers unfavourable
