these ones and the keter ones are pretty much exactly the same, the clamps are the same as well. I have a keter one and a mac one. My keter one unfortunately was used to have a stack of slates ontop and a disposable bbq. the whole top melted in on itself XD But I still use it and have a sheet of old material to use on top. These tables are great, my only issue with them is the underside edges of the table, when you want to clamp a long piece of something along the edge of the table (for example when I am using a router on a long length) there isn't enough surface area for the clamp to grip underneath, there are voids underneath which is like a grid underneath for keeping the table solid and often there is a void just where my clamp wants to go or it just starts slipping into the gaps. I paid around £50 for mine each a few years ago so worth checking out to see if there are any offers around. toolstation are selling them at around £60 at the moment. They are suitable for a variety of heavy duty tasks though, I have used an old kitchen island top sat on the top of it and used it to load plaster on for plastering and its very sturdy for that as well

Have to agree I'm still very impressed with mine but I know exactly what you mean about the clamps. Maybe some sort of plug could be made that slides into the square grids and the clamp can then press against that

Good video and straight to the point. Was looking at one of these last week. My only qualms about Mac Allister is that getting spare parts would be an issue - based on my past experience. I think they are B&Q's own brand.

Yeah someone else said they have struggled to get spare clamps which to me aren't a huge deal as I don't really use the tracks that much. So I suppose it depends on your needs

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a spare set of clamps for this bench, or if they have a cheap set going for sale, many thanks

I've had one of these for a few years and its great. Both the clamps have broken and I can't find any replacement ones that are the same design. 😩

If you still have your old clamps there is someone who 3d prints new handles for them. Pretty steep, though.

Yea I peeled back the stickers and found they are actually made by KETER.. again a lengthy search of the Internet proved fruitless
