HUSKY HEAVY DUTY 6 ft. WORKBENCH | TOOL REVIEW TUESDAY!

- This week's episode of Tool Review Tuesday features the Husky 6 ft Heavy Duty Workbench. The features include a solid wood worktop, foldable legs, adjustable feet, 2,300 lb capacity, and height adjustment from 35"-42". This workbench weighs 128lbs and is perfect for the shop, garage, or even inside the home. I believe this workbench is a great purchase for the DIYer, homeowner, or experienced woodworker/ builder. This workbench can easily be moved around by 2 people, especially because the legs on each end fold in for storage.
The latch system makes it very easy, with no tool required. One other great feature that should be near the top of the list is that a power outlet strip is also built in, including 4 outlets and 2 USP ports. Please feel free to leave a comment or question down below.

I installed 3/8 4 inch casters to add height to fit this bench right over my husky tool box. It allows me to store the table and move it out as needed.
Great idea, I'll have to keep that in mind if I someday decide to store it that way. 🙌
May I ask if you could share the link to the casters?
Hey @deborasartain7491 could you add the link to the casters you used ? & how did you attach them ? Once attached was the desktop very sturdy or was it wobbly ? Thanks
Appreciate the review! Bought this table for my DJ studio at home and it’s the perfect height and width.
That's cool to hear!
Husky has another model that’s almost identical but with a depth of 24”, whereas this is 23”. The other model (G7200S-US) is about $15 cheaper but doesn’t have a power strip. A surge protector power strip with USB is easy to install though and costs about $20. The other difference is that the other model has a long apron between the lower legs as part of the frame, in case you want to install a lower shelf. This doesn’t. Both are fantastic workbenches.
Update: THE G7200S-US IS *NOT* A FOLDING TABLE. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
Your comment completely messed me up. That model you posted doesn't have folding legs which is the only reason I watched this video. I didn't pay any attention to it when I ordered and now I have to carry this shit back to the store. Shame on me.
@@Grip-n-Rip-It Wait, what? You ordered the model I mentioned and regret it because you want folding legs? I posted that comment 2 years ago. What happened exactly?
@@AereForst Yea, that's exactly what happened. Your comment said they're almost identical and the only difference was the power strip and the brace and it was 15 bucks cheaper. I was like, "hell yea!" and bought it. Got delivered today and went to put the legs on and was like "wait, wtf."
@@Grip-n-Rip-It I get it. You ordered the one I mentioned, which is the model I have. I said they were nearly identical. They are but yeah the folding legs are different. It wasn’t a consideration for me. These things are pretty heavy. Why would you need folding legs? This isn’t the workbench you want to lug around in your truck. Anyway I chose my model for the increased width.
@@AereForst I need folding legs to put it down and out of the way as I don't have the space which is why I looked up the video.
The side to side wobble is rather annoying. One fix I made was, I inserted ~2in washers between the inner and outer legs at the two bolts per leg. The lack of a plastic insert between the inner and outer leg is a sad oversight. Would have also made sure the paint doesn't scratch when the legs are adjusted in height.
The washers didn't solve all of the wobble though... The main issue is the square tube at the top does not sit flat onto anything (look under the table and you'll see a ~1/4" gap. This and the fact that the slots the legs slide on, the welded in place bar doesn't rest at the end of it's slot and the bolt diameter is too small/slot for bolt is too big... This allowing wobble.
Easiest fix, probably finding a bolt diameter that is a tight friction fit. This will restrict side to side motion, and some wood/composite shims in that 1/4" gap will double down on reducing wobble while still making it easy to fold up and pack or move if ever needing to!
Quality of materials is all good, attention to detail of fit and function is disappointing...
Great suggestion there. I can deal with the wobble when it's raised up high, but would like to try your idea to minimize it. I've thought about adding a cross brace between the legs too.
The wobble really makes me nervous. That think wobbled a ton. I ordered this and the other husky bench that looks just like this one - but that I need to assemble myself. I have Two days to decide which to keep. Thoughts?
I believe they make one that has a cross piece that goes between the left and right back leg. If so, that would definitely make it more solid.
Thanks for the reply! They do make one and that is the one I’m referring to. Not assembled like this one but that’s ok with me. Keep up the great videos!
I have a wilton vise (smaller size but same model) that im trying to figure out how to fit on this same husky bench, any advice would be appreciated 🙏
Gonna use this as a aquarium stand for my 135 acrylic 6 foot aquarium no worries of it failing
Sounds like a heavy setup, but this workbench is designed to hold a lot of weight.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I seen the updated version I think that’s the one I’ll choose can’t have wobbles
I have the Kobalt workbench ($179).It's sturdy and works well for me. The bench does look heavier and more "solid" but @ $352 I think it's too much money. Great review Mark.... THANKS.
I'll have to check it out the next time I'm in Lowes. The Husky one has a great review, like a 4.7 star I believe. I have to use it a little more to see if I can get the wobble out when it's all the way extended.
What is the difference between this and the Gladiator workbench at Home Depot? The specs seem to be identical. Are they made by the same company? Is one better quality? Thanks
that would be perfect if it didnt wobble. There's always a tradeoff. Miss the old way of doin things. Great video though!
Thanks, I've been using the workbench at the tallest height lately. I need to lower it down and see if the wobble is minimized. I might have an easy fix for it. If I do, I'll post another video.
Glad I found this. Pretty sure buying one is cheaper than building one with the price of wood atm
The wood top finish is amazing on this. I believe it's called gumwood. There's a little wobble to it when raised up high, but not an issue for me.
Mine works as a desk
It works well for that too! The wood top is awesome!
Do you think it’s sturdy enough to add a vise and woodworking vise?
Great review! That is one nice workbench and the sunset is even better!!
Thanks so much! I'm out there all the time at dusk and the sunset is a nice added benefit.
@@MarkThomasBuilder You are very welcome! What a treat to always have that as a view!
Great video, really helpful as I'm looking to set up some work spaces in my office and in my garage.
This works well for a corner office desk inside the house or a workbench in the garage. I've actually used it for both purposes. It's currently a work from home desk during the social distancing time we're in. It's a very nice work surface. I posted a picture recently to Instagram about it.
Hello looking for a table for outdoors bbq do you think this will do? Not sure if weather will mess it up I’m in Los Angeles
That's a good question. If the table is outdoors in the elements, I believe the finished top of the table will repel water and the steel legs are painted well. The underneath part of the table I believe is unfinished, so if water splashes on there, it might not be protected. A cover would be my recommendation. If it were under a roof in an outdoor setting, then you may be okay. It's a nice looking workbench.
Nice review
I’m working on building custom shelves to live on the crossbars to store equipment and this was very helpful.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Imagine not wanting to get a tool dirty ... Lol
QUESTION OF THE DAY: What use would you use this workbench for? Is there anything else you would do to modify it? Would you leave it stationary or move it around and use it for multiple purposes?
I would use it for my sharpening bench for my lawn care business
I want to get a lawn blade sharpener. I'm not sure what one it the best. Any suggestions?
@@MarkThomasBuilder I got the one that Brian Fullerton got
@@GrandviewLawnCare Cool, I'll look for it!
Thanks for the video. Good level of detail. I already have a good woodworkers bench and I was looking for a bench that I could do dirty/"beater" jobs on.
This has a nice solid top that cleans up well. The great thing is you can adjust the height.
Don’t like that wobble!
just bought one and was pleased with how easy it is to go "from box" to "ready to work". Very solid. And yes, heavy so if you move it may need some help. Enjoyed the video!
Great to hear! My workbench temporarily went inside the house for a remote office desk. Once the pandemic is over, I'm looking forward to having it in the shop again.
@@MarkThomasBuilder and the folding legs, while solid, make it easy to move...."with two folks" (I bought a simple indoor desk and it is flimsy in comparison ...wish I had waited!)
I'm looking for something to use for ammo reloading, and this would appear capable in that role. It should be easy to fix that wobble by tapping some wooden cabinet shims into the joint.
Good idea. I've also thought about a simple cross brace with a 1x4.
Same!!!!!!
Just got mine, and wanted to have the top around 38" up (so not fully extended) - I have almost 2" of side to side wobble. Considering it's supposed to be "heavy duty" I am wildly unimpressed :( I'll be returning and going with the G7200S-US - here's hoping that won't wobble so bad! I'm intending to mount a vise to it, and that wobble would drive me INSANE!
I'm glad to see them make the workbench with the brace for the back now. I don't think it was available when I made this video.
How do you like the G7200S-US? I ordered the heavy duty version, not arrive yet, store pickup on 12/08. I think I will return it right away on the pickup day and switch to the G7200S-US.
@@snoww2009 The G7200S-US is FAR AND AWAY better. Zero wobbles, holds more weight, and I like the additional bracing!
@@uberDoward Thanks for the confirmation. I order one.
This was exactly what I was looking for! Great review!
Awesome, thank you!
That tables looks great on the second lens that you changed too. Great Shot!
Great Table too!!
Thanks, this table has served me well so far. I like the durable wood finish.
Would make a great knife sharpening bench, are the adjustable feet rubber or plastic?
Hard plastic.
Thanks for the video. Im thinking about using this for a desk top.
We have it in our house as an office desk currently. It's a great stand up desk or a sit down desk. When this whole covid thing goes away, I'll move it back in my shop.
Just ordered the 8ft version. Looks nice.
That's cool, this definitely holds a lot of weight. My workbench ended up moving inside the house during covid for working remote. It also makes a great stand up desk.
Does it wobble when it's adjusted lower? Is there a way to have zero wobble?
It doesn't wobble much when lowered. If it really bothered me, I'd get a steel tube made to bolt on and go across the back left and the back right leg.
Thanks for this detailed review !
No problem 👍
Can you install casters on this?
That's a good question. I checked the Home Depot website and this question was asked several times and the answer is that yes you can get casters, but some say the folding leg design isn't a good idea with casters.
I'm going to be reviewing the Husky adjustable work table soon, and that has casters.
I put a shelf on the bottom of mine for storage
Wow, that sounds like a good idea! I always need more storage space.
Are there any accessories available? I am talking about drawers or an additional middle tray to store tools, etc.
Not that I know of
The price would be the same if I build one. But I don't have 6 foot space.
They make a 48" crank up workbench which is really nice. It won't hold as much weight as this but you can adjust in in 15 seconds from a sit down desk to a standing desk.
Great review! Going to buy one today!
Thanks, it works well for a remote office desk too. That's how I'm using mine currently.
Perfect been looking for something like this ...for digital keyboards
Mine is currently used as a stand up desk for a computer and keyboard
@@MarkThomasBuilder by far one of the best value stand up desks on the market. comparable stand up desks of similar size in the computer desk section are generally much more expensive than what home depot is asking for this desk on their website.
Great workbench Mark. This would work well with Styrofoam on top while I'm cutting a sheet of plywood with my Festool tracksaw. The adjustable height legs will be great for us older woodworkers who have back problems bending at a lower height tables. Another very informative video Mark.
Thank you! I'm sure this workbench will work well with that Festool tracksaw. Sounds like a nice setup for cutting plywood!
Kinda looks a bit unsturdy. How stable is it?
It hold a lot of weight no problem. The taller it is, then it has a little wobble. Never enough to bother me with my projects, buy it would be nice if it had a horizontal brace piece.
Did you put casters on your bench?
I bought mine in the store pre-assembled and they have casters. I belive they all do.
I just bought 8 of these for my classroom and they are extremely wobbly. How did you prevent this?
I see the sway back and forth at min 6:35-how are you dealing with this?
We have a fair amount of weight on our and use it as a stand up work desk. The popular hybrid work schedule caused me to bring this in my home instead of the workshop. I bought the crank style Husky work table for the garage.
If it's just too wobbly, you may want to consider the more expensive one that has the cross brace across the back. It's heavier duty and probably a better fit. Your only other option is to find or make a cross brace. I'm not sure if Husky offers anything like that.
The wobble is the only downside!
It's a great workbench and wobbles less in the lower positions. If I planned to keep it in the higher position, I'd probably make a 45 degree piece of steel to keep it in place. Overall the wobble isn't too bad in my opinion.
@@MarkThomasBuilder good intel. hopefully theyre paying you. i'm buying one because of you!
hi
Gavin underwood hi👋
Awesome review.
Thanks, man!
Hi Mark, couple of questions. First, what is the height from the bottom back frame to the top of the wood(I need to clamp something with a 4" wide clamp and I'm hoping its only 4 inches)? And also, in theory, could I get this lower by removing the feet and not putting the height bolts in, maybe drill more holes lower, or does the top of the 'H' frame hit the top of the slot?
Can wheels be put on it
Yes, I checked the Home Depot website and there's several comments about adding casters. They also sell an adjustable height work table that I'm considering in addition to this table.
Dining/Office...
Can you comment on whether the wood top has threaded screw holes? Reason I ask is I’m considering using it for a PC desk with different style legs if it has threaded holes I can match hardware to. Thanks!
The wood top is fastened to the bottom, so the top is entirely smooth and clean.
I'm wondering how bad the wobble is on the other heights and when it starts. It makes sense the highest setting would have the worst wobble. If the strength of the table is compromised on higher settings, I'd find the adjustable feature almost worthless. I wish you had spent more time on this issue.
We're using this now as a stand-up work desk in our home. I don't notice the wobble issue for using with computers on top. I think Husky now offers a desk that has a horizontal support bar across the back.
Man that table looks like it’s wobbling all over the place. How sturdy is it?
It holds a lot of weight and became a work at home stand up desk since covid. I don't notice it wobble at all. We have a printer and some files on it all the time. They also make a workbench with a cross brace across the back that looks like a good option too.
Problem being there’s no drawers there’s no shelves underneath and I need all that
You can get a similar table with an option for wheels that has drawer options. Here's my video review... th-cam.com/video/civz873AvqA/w-d-xo.html
Home Depot sells an identical version but with a brace for the bottom. Maybe they can sell that piece to you?
That would be awesome for the times I have the desk raised all the way up. I want to get into mig welding, maybe this will be my first project...
Newer versions have a bar that spans btwn the back legs preventing wobble.
That's a nice upgrade.
I am looking at using this workbench as my desk. Is it possible to reverse the wood top so that the power outlets are facing the back but you still have the cantilever in the front? Also, do you believe the wobble would be noticed inside the home on flat hardwood floors? Thanks for the video!
I believe it's flush on the back side, opposite the outlets. My wife is using it as a stand up desk and likes it. I've never noticed the wobble being an issue for her. If you have it raised all the way up and doing some sanding, then it will rock a little. The Husky crank up adjustable table on wheels doesn't seem to rock. I may get that for my outdoor reviews. The wheels make it easy to rollin in and out of the garage. Hope that helps!
You didn’t discuss the addition of wheels. I noticed that there were pre-drilled holes on the legs.
Good point, sorry about that. I prefer not having wheels on this, but you can add them as an option. I have wheels on my other Husky work table.
It has a crank up adjustable height which works well. The wheels hold nice and solid when int the locked position.
Would you recommend putting a vise on that work bench?
I haven't tried it, but I think you could. I started using a vise on my custom built workbench and it's amazing to have for daily projects.
Do you think it's possible to attach a pegboard on the back?
I would think so if you reinforced it with some 3/4" thick wood to frame it in.
I would have liked to see you attach a vice and then crank on it. The table looked a bit wobbly.
If it's lowered most of the way down there's not much wobble. More so when it's extended all the way up. I still like it though.
They no longer seem to have this bench in stock....not sure if that's a permanent thing or what, but they have this one. It doesn't have the power strip or the folding legs, but it does come with red legs. I need something to hammer and solder silver on. www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Ready-to-Assemble-6-ft-Adjustable-Height-Solid-Wood-Top-Workbench-in-Red-HOWT72XDB22/313437097 What do you think? Also, where do you live? It's beautiful!
Interesting, I haven't seen that one yet. Another table I wouldn't mind having is the Husky 52" adjustable height workbenh.
This would work really well for people who have limited space. Wish you would have showed the folding legs option. Looks well built. Also it would have been nice to so if the table was completely flat on all sides.
I understand, sorry for not showing that. Right now the workbench is a standing desk in my home office during this covid time. It works well for that.
Did you have two screws going through both the inner and outer leg when the table wobbled or was only one screw going through the inner leg when the table was adjusted all the way up?
I have 2 screws going through both the outer and inner. I'm working on a fix with a couple additional braces. I have high hopes that it works well and blends well with the look of it.
Great video, Mark. Appreciate all the details you covered. Can you tell me how tall the bench is if I take out the lower part of the adjustable legs entirely? I'm thinking of using it at SEATING bench level (hopefully around 18")
It's approximately 19.5" from the top of the table to the bottom of the legs.
thorough review, thank you, husky now makes an adjustable table with a lever in the front, no more back breaking flipping tables over
Thanks, I recently had the Husky 52" adjustable work table on my channel. I often use it in my tool reviews. It's a great work table.
This heavy duty one went inside the house for a stand up home office desk. Once all the covid stuff is over, I may get it back in my garage again.
Great & Fun Review! Looks like a nice work bench/assembly table. I would like to see something that would firm up that wobble. I’m tall so, I prefer my tables to be the same. I would not install a vice on this workbench, personally speaking. The power feature is a great addition. You can never have enough 110’s & USB’s 👍🏻👍🏻
I agree. I have a simple idea that will probably take care of the wobble. I just didn't get a chance to try it out yet. Quick question for you... did you use the Kaizen foam for your toolboxes? I'm hoping to do that on a rainy day sometime. Lord knows we've had enough of them lately, lol!
markthomasbuilder yes I did. I used the foam in every drawer and also in all my toughsystem boxes👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you brotha, I've been hesitating on the purchase, you clinched it for me. Great Vid!! 👍
Glad I could help
I stumbled across this on Home Depot's website, I'm thinking of using this as my desk setup for my house!
My wife is using this inside the house right now for her office standing desk. She's very happy with it.
How thick is the wood top?
It's 1.25" thick.
Is the top of that sturdy enough to bolt down a vice? I'd be afraid that the wood on top isnt thick enough.
Yes, I would think so. I'd probably use some big washers underneath just for added sturdiness insurance.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Sounds like good advice. Thank you.
Do you get the option to install the top so it’s not flush in rear?
No, it comes installed that way.
When the legs are folded in for storage, do they lock I’m place?
I don't believe they lock in place. The workbench is used for a standup home office desk. It's quite versatile.
Thanks, I’m going to get this and make the legs locking with a hitch pin kit
Is it possible to put a carpenters vise on this bench? The rails might be an issue, but I’m not sure.
I'll have to take a look and see. I have the Wilton Woodworker's vise and a Rockler one.
@@MarkThomasBuilder thanks for getting back to me, Mark. You’re an excellent youtuber! Subscribed!
And yes I am considering if I get this table adding a vice bolting it to the top of it
Nice, what kind of bench vice? I'm in the Facebook group, Bench Vises Forever. There's some great vises displayed in there.
@@MarkThomasBuilder just a regular advice from harbor freight it's a 5-in device has pipe Jaws on one side and flat Jaws on the other
That table is perfect for the shed im building hopefully Home depot in PR has it.
This table isn't normally in stock in the Home Depots by me. You can definitely have it shipped to the store.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thanks, I'll look into that.
Hi Mark, good review! Could you please give me the dimension of the height of the table without the assembled "H" sections? Because I would also like to use this product as a coffee table if it is low enough without the extensions. Thank you in advance.
Hi, it's either 7" or 19.5" tall that you can make it without the bottom half sliding leg section.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thanks, really appreciated!
I liked the vice you use, did you ever figure out if that one would work with this bench? I never considered a vice that hangs on the sides.
I think you could get a woodworkers vise for this bench. I had a Wilton, but if that doesn't fit, I'd try a Rockler.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Rigth on, Thank you!!!
Is there no way to eliminate the wobble when you raise it?
I think they introduced one after making this one with a rear horizontal support piece. That should eliminate the wobble. We use this table raised up for a home office standing work desk. I never notice a wobble for that type of work.
@@MarkThomasBuilder thanks, I saw that one and almost bought it until I saw a 46" mobile workbench that has a rear fold out section that makes a 46x51 table top so that ended up being a better fit for my needs and right now it's on sale for $552
Great video! Is the metal finish matte or glossy?
It has a little bit of shine, somewhere in-between I'd say.
Thanks for the review. Bought this table. Dont know much about wood, but i was wondering what type of wood this is considered? Also, i wanted to give the clear coat on the table more resistance, do you have any recommended video or information to research regarding how to go about coating the top to give it more stain resistance/protection (i.e. polyurethane). Thank you!
It's labeled as Gumwood. It's a nice looking top! I'm experimenting with some products from TotalBoat that are clear and might work well. So far, the Gleam 2.0 is looking good. I'd call them and ask their advice. I just looked their number up: (401) 396-8199
@@MarkThomasBuilder Wow, appreciate the response and help. I will shoot them a call. Thank you and thanks for the videos. GL!
Where can I buy one of those chairs?
The swivel shop chair is a Kobalt. I bought it a few years ago at Lowes.
Hey great video review. I wanted to know if this bench would be able to hold a 60 gallon aquarium? 60 gallons would be approximately 500 pounds and you mentioned it can hold 2300 pounds. A filled aquarium would be live weight and i was wondering if the center of the bench could hold the weight without sagging?
Yes, this workbench is very stout.
okay perfect, thanks Mark
How bad was the wobble when fully raised I didn't see it in the video
It has some wobble to it when raised all the way up. We're currently using it for a temporary standing work desk and nobody in the family is complaining about the wobble. The wood top is very nice. I thought of bolting a brace across the back for a video idea.
Good review, but dude this review can be done in a third of the length and still communicate all the information. I found myself getting frustrated listening to blah blah sunset my videos indoor blah blah!
Fair enough, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the honest feedback.
Couple of questions: Husky also makes this table in a folding version, where each side leg folds inward and the top folds down on a hinge, but I would like to switch out the leveling inserts with wheels to make the table easy to move around in my garage, and I would like to add a top that is 30" wide, as I'm not sure the 24" top gives me enough depth. Do you think it's possible to do this?
Have you looked at the Husky adjustable workbench? It comes with wheels already. I'm not sure is there would be stability issues with a 30" top. I'm planning on buying the 52" version to roll outside on nice days.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thx Mark. I did see where the Husky folding table had castors after I had sent my message...sorry about that. Since I don't think 24" gives me enough depth on a workbench I think I'll search for plans for either a 30x60 or 30x72 workbench and build one myself.
