I owned it, the light is not that bright, so I upgrade it with 4ft shop LED light (linkable), so that I can have an outlet on the other side.

I got the Hyper Tough one for $69 on November 23, 2018. I finally put it together last month because that's how long it took me to eventually clear out the garage. I'm assuming it's the same manufacturer but:

Hyper Tough was 46". This is 48".
Hyper Tough didn't have a built-in grounded outlet.
Hyper Tough had one big drawer, this has 2 smaller drawers
Hyper Tough had an unfinished bottom shelf, this looks like it's finished.
Hyper Tough has a height adjustable bottom shelf. This one looks fixed.
Hyper Tough has storage bins under the peg board and a lame metal stand for a cellphone. This one doesn't.
Hyper Tough version:

After I put the Hyper Tough together the drawer was stiff and wouldn't fully close. The way it's put together isn't ideal but it works.

Was about to say the same, and heavy box often damaged in transit may have some banged up corner and such. But for this price can't complain as there's no way I will find a cheaper better one here by me

I got 2 of these from Walmart for 33/per. I know times have changed and this was 4 years ago. I like them a lot. I wouldn't do any serious woodworking anywhere near them but they're great little work shelves.

Honestly that multimeter has been very helpful. I had a decent multimeter at the house but I carry the HF el cheapo around in my truck box. I've used it a few times when on RV trips or helps friends with unexpected issues.

Lots of reviews saying that this workbench is really wobbly and not that sturdy. I think I'll pass.

I got one at a similar price last year 109.99 w/10% off I think. I love this thing, I read every review and watched many YouTube videos about it. It has a cool slight blue color to it. If you assemble it right it's not wobbly.

It's definitely not solid, but it's great for little soldering projects or if you need a space to clean some fishing reels or tie some flies.

Got one of these a few years ago and its held up well for light duty work. Was a pain in the ass to put together as it had a million tiny nuts and bolts but once its together its quite nice.

I've had this together for about a year. 100% fine for the average home owner that does some minor diy work. Gun cleaning, oil changes , household item repairs, etc. My only gripe is that the way the drawers are set up, installing a vice has not been an option.

I had this for a few years. It was never $219 and that clearance price was it's regular price at one time. It is somewhat wobbly as you can't tighten the bolts enough to make it stable. It's decent work table but know the legs will wobble some.

Is this better than the one Walmart has on sale at times for half this price?
