Research conducted by the firm revealed that most people choose to embark on a DIY project rather than hire a team of professionals in order to reduce the strain on their wallets. With the number of first time DIY-ers soaring as the economy slows, more and more amateur handymen are choosing to use makeshift tools and accessories found around the home or garage rather than investing in specialist new equipment. The obvious problem with sourcing materials in this way is that the makeshift equipment is not fit for its new purposes, creating dangerous situations for the unsuspecting odd jobber.
Doug Nourse, Managing Director at BiGDUG the experts in racking, shelving and storage solutions, said, “I frequently hear stories of people saving their cash by using their kitchen worktop as a workbench. Not only is this likely to anger the wife, but kitchen units are for preparing food not tools, and as such are neither heavy nor durable enough to serve the purpose of a workbench.
“Often people use discarded kitchen worktops, or even a dresser or old coffee table in place of a purpose built workbench. They believe as long as the item is moved into the garden or garage then it is a suitable piece of equipment, but far from it. These items are usually made from thin materials, and may well be worn with shoddy joints. The matter of such substitutions collapsing is only a question of when, not if.”
Thankfully, the shelving, racking and storage solution experts at BiGDUG have come up with an affordable solution with their new range of workbenches. Priced from just £39, they sport a super strong worktop, adjustable height levels and a huge 300kg maximum weight capacity. The new workbenches are as suitable for use in light industrial and commercial environments as they are for residential projects. The workbenches take just fifteen minutes to erect and are easily constructed without nuts and bolts.
Mr Nourse added, “I’m proud to say that an independent article recently featured in practical classics magazine hailed our workbenches as ‘capable of holding their own with far pricier competition.’”
