- Hey everyone.
Sam Battersby from Griot's Garage.
And today I'm gonna tell you about our 7-in-1
workbench platform.
So in the mode that you see it in here,
this is in the workbench mode.
It's standing approximately 30 inches tall,
42 inches long by 21 inches wide here.
And this will support up to 440 pounds.
So plenty of weight capacity
for holding construction projects,
small tables, tabletop saws, miter saws,
anything like that.
As well as car parts
that you wanna get up on an elevated surface to work on.
Going from the workbench mode,
we'll take it down into the scaffolding mode.
Really simple, you have these push locks on each leg.
Gonna bring those up.
(leg clicks)
Lower one side at a time.
Bring that side down, move over to this side.
And it's the exact same deal.
(leg clicks)
They're nice large button push locks.
So it's less likely to pinch any fingers in there,
but do be cautious when you're collapsing those
to ensure you don't pinch your your hands at all.
Here it is in the scaffolding mode.
So this is approximately 20 inches tall.
You do have the supports on the side
that you can use as steps for climbing up on it.
It's nice and stable in this mode.
No give and very little wiggle
when when you're moving around on this guy.
So it's gonna be a nice stable work platform for you.
Whether you be getting up to paint your gutters
or cleaning the roof of a large vehicle.
Or when you're doing polishing or paint correction
up on the roof of large vehicles.
Having a larger work platform like this
is gonna make you work much more confidently.
Step down.
One of my favorite features with it in this mode
is the handle that you can use.
So if you want,
you can pop that guy up and then that's gonna
allow you to use it to get up on the platform.
As well as throw in your little tool
and hardware tray up there.
The handle also holds both of our 22 and 35 ounce bottle
sprayers really well.
So you can keep your bottles on the handle
so that you're not bending down
every time you need to grab a product
when you're working on the roof of a vehicle.
Really awesome feature there.
The handle is a improvement
over a lot of the previous designs that we have sold
as well as some of the competitive options out there.
To collapse the handle,
you're gonna simply pinch in these two locks on the sides
and lower it back down.
So nice and easy and intuitive.
Going from the scaffold mode.
We'll go ahead and flip it up on its end.
Show you guys the bottom side.
So now you've got four castors on the bottom.
We're gonna go ahead and collapse these legs in.
So the nice about this model
is it features the internal leg lock supports.
And they're built in so it's not a separate piece
that you have to attach like some comparable units to this.
So you simply pop 'em out and just like a folding table,
and then you can fold your legs down
and lock 'em into place there.
The legs do also have levelers on the feet.
Which makes it really nice
if you're working out on an uneven surface,
like a gravel driveway.
Lock that guy down.
Go ahead and rest it on the floor
to make this a little easier.
You do wanna be sure that when you're folding
this side in that you have your swivel castors
turn so that they're not gonna get in the way.
So we'll turn those guys in.
Pop that up.
And then lower this down there.
And I'm gonna swivel that one around
so I can lock that into place.
So now it's collapsed.
So you can either carry it around as needed.
Does have a nice handle on the frame there,
or you can really grip it anywhere on the metal frame.
And then we can turn it over onto its castors.
And this would be your emergency creeper mode.
It's not the most comfortable creeper,
but it does get the job done.
If you need to slide around on the floor
to get under your vehicle.
Nice there.
You can also use this as a storage dolly of sorts.
You know if you have something large and heavy
in your garage that you wanna be able to move around
and not have it affixed in one spot.
You know stack a set of tires
or any really anything big and heavy
that you wanna be able to move around.
Another nice function of this handle
is when it is down in your dolly mode.
Put your handle up,
and now you've got a nice sturdy dolly or cart
that you can roll around
with the swivel castors on the front.
It makes it very easy to maneuver a heavy object
without much resistance.
So this is a capacity of 220 pounds
when you're on the castors.
So keep that in mind.
It's about half of when it's up on the legs
in the scaffolding or workbench mode.
So then to fold the handle back down,
just press those locks in and fold it back down like so.
I'm gonna go ahead and go back up real quick
and we'll show you a couple of the last features
of this workbench.
Lay it back down.
So again make sure that those castors are turned inboard
so can get that guy up.
By the way, when you do take this out of the box,
your castors are gonna be stored right in these recesses
right here.
So they won't be loose in the box.
You'll have to pull the workbench all the way out,
flip it upside down,
and your castors will be right in there.
Then you have to affix 'em to the unit.
There's also these little
wedges that are stored in the bottom here.
I'm gonna take these out, set 'em to the side for now.
I'll flip this back up.
Nice and lightweight so it's very easy to move around
when you need to go from one configuration to the next.
Go ahead and push in our leg locks,
pull those guys back out.
Nice and secure snap.
(leg clicks)
Oh, another function that you have
while it's in workbench mode
is the ability to use an Irwin clamp
or a standard woodworking quick clamp type device.
You have these receivers here
that will slide into any of the slot holes
on the top of the unit.
And those will accept your Irwin clamps
and allow you to lock those into place.
And then you also have your wedges.
If you're doing woodworking or working on a car part
that you want to essentially clamp down
and keep it from moving back and forth,
you can also use your wedges and drop those in.
There's two of these stored on the bottom of the unit
and then your Irwin or quick clamp receivers
are gonna be dropped down into the top.
There's two of those as well.
So you have the ability to use two quick clamps
and the two wedges together.
Another sweet feature of the 7-in-1.
We turn it around here on this side,
you're gonna have two standard 110 AC outlets
and two USB ports.
So really handy function.
You know if you're running a tabletop saw on here,
a miter saw or something like that,
you can power the table with an extension cord.
It's a circuit broke circuit breaker outlet there.
So you've got your circuit switch.
And then you can power it via this outlet
and plug in your table saw or your accessory.
Also can be great for potentially
if you're polishing anything off of the car.
Plug your orbital in there,
have your piece on the work bench, do your thing.
Or if you need to charge any of our work lights
or any other device,
you have the two USB outlets there as well.
So pretty awesome functionality.
Power your bench.
Of course, don't do that.
Don't run power to it if you're using it
while washing your car.
So it's gonna be water around.
We all know power and water do not mix well.
