Costco has decent workbench and Storage cabinet for sale

ToolAA · Dec 18, 2017

For those who do not have large work spaces for reloading I noticed a decent bench and cabinet on sale at Costco today.

Bench is $199 and cabinet is $249. They seem quite sturdy and are on large casters.

Do you get the impression that the work bench has a solid wood top, and can you drill all the way through and attach a press?

The wife told me about these. It's good to finally see them. I am impressed. If that is solid wood, that looks to be a good deal.

I didn’t stick my head under and check the wood top. I did knock on it and it seems solid but not a very dense wood like oak or maple.

They are now $149 for the workbench. Solid wood top. I bought two for my new reloading room. I am waiting on my Inline Fabrication mounts to arrive and I will be in business again!

Anyone buy one? Are they as sturdy as the picture makes them look(nevermind the missing bolt on the left middle bracket

)

I'm a manager at Costco. I've seen that work bench get marked down to $99.99 I have also assembled it. It's a solid piece.

I bought two of them. They are very sturdy and weigh about 160lbs. I am probably going to pull the wheels off and replace them with pieces of 4x4 bolted through the bottom to keep it from moving at all.

These tables are great. But if you want to pull up a chair and work you'd probably be better with a traditional table. I was even thinking about getting on to be a side table for the bbq and just keep it covered when not in use out on the deck.

Oh my, I saw one of them last weekend. It is solid as can be. Great quality. My main gripe would be height: not as tall as I would like. That was enough to keep me from buying one that I don't have space for anyway. It also validated my current benches and their strengths / weaknesses. I wish my main reloading bench were as solid, but I like its height, depth, and features better.

I have the same bench. I use it for gun cleaning. It wobbled a lot side to side. I fixed it by bolting it to the wall. Now it is rock solid.

Make your own. Started with a 7' door that was dead flat. Plans off of Workbench magazine for the base. Sits on 6 100lb rated wheels. Shims hold it in place. Solid is an understatement.

The height was a potential issue for me as well but I decided to just buy a 4x4x8 and some lag bolts and washers to replace the wheels with 4x4 legs at the height I want. Plus I will bolt it to the wall to make it rock solid. With the Inline Fabrication quick mount system one will be multi purpose and the other will have my Rockchucker and Dillon 650 mounted.
