Keter Folding Work Table with Two Adjustable Clamps — 1000-Lb. Capacity, Model# 252638 $90

04-05-2022 at 10:08 AM.

This is a good deal for one of the best folding work tables. I have a keter and it's well made and holds a ton of weight. Easy up and down.
Cons: the clamps are the weak spot but I use my own clamps.

Would rather get a WORX Pegasus at this price. The WP vs. the Keter is:
1. Taller
2. Has more robust clamps and has table dawgs for more clamping possibilities
3. Has larger workspace (by about 100 inches square)
4. Can be combined with other WPs to make a larger table
5. Can convert into a saw horse
6. Has pocket spaces on surface for temporarily storing screws, tools so they don't roll off

Here's a good comparison video of WP vs. Keter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCHYdhlipLg

You can get it for $108.70 on Worx eBay page right now as certified refurbished (i.e. comes with Worx warranty) with FS. I've gotten two of them like this and they packaged and look brand new.

I have cut 3 sheets of 3/4 inch ab plywood on it no problem. Sounds like user error to me.

21% more for used? That's a slick deal... 🙄

My thought is if you're will to drop $95 (after tax) for a Keter, the price is not that much more to get a WORX. If you don't want to spend $120 on a brand new one, you can save $12 and get a certified one that comes with a complete warranty. The WORX Pegasus comes with a three year warranty so if you have any issues you can get it replaced.

I think both are good tables but IMHO the utility of the WP is more vs the Keter. Just my $0.02. WP gets a lot of great reviews/feedback.

BTW, I never said the WP recertified was a SD. I just think it's a better table than the Keter and the increase in cost to get one is negligible in the long run (these tables should last for years).

Keter is made in Israel, WORX is made in China. Both good tables but I avoid buying Chinese

I don't know....Amazon reviews are also indicating the table breaks when you stand on it. Plywood spreads the weight evenly across the surface of the table. If you stand where the suitcase handle hole is reviewers are indicating the tablet cracks since the plastic is a lot thinner there. Also the first safety instruction in the user manuals states "Do not load with more than 400lbs (181kg)" so I'm not sure where they are getting this table can handle 1,000lbs."

Here's a four year review of the Keter Table: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1xJNXUmkfU

This guy has the expandable legs version which drops the weight capacity down to 700lbs. Users on Amazon have complained that the table is too short for taller people so I guess that's why Keter made an expandle legs version.

What's your problem? Over 10000 positive reviews on Amazon, but you would rather support China than an American friend...
You probably rooted for Ivan Drago in Rocky IV 🥊

I wonder if I stand on a Keter table should I whisper to it: "I must break you."

Our heavy-duty classic just got even better. This ever-popular, highly versatile work station now comes with extra features. It still has a lightweight frame so you can fold and carry it with ease, and it's sturdy enough to support a 450kg load. It has a unique fold system that makes it quick and simple to set up and pack away.
