Anyone own and use one? Trying to find a replacement for a Black & Decker Workmate. Reviews of the new B&D Workmates pretty much say they are now crap! But the WORX Pegasus looks pretty good. Any suggestions, comments, advice?

No but it looks decent. FWIW, you might have a better pool of reviews on Amazon (500+) and Lowes (800+).

Yes, I got one last Christmas and love it! I added a power strip to the bottom and look for projects where I can use it.
Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you.
It's got a larger work surface, has a second surface for resting tools, goes up and down very easily and is rock-solid stable. I have two.

Yeah, but, if you read the reviews, there are several complaints about low-quality plastic being used where either higher-quality plastic or metal should be, resulting in breakage.
I'd be inclined to stick with the WORX Pegasus. Appears to be better-built.

Kreg seems to be offering many quality products. I got one of their little router tables and it's magnitudes better than competing ones.

I've got a KREG, really stable and overbuilt. Compared to the current B&D...NO comparison.

I bought one of these from home depot and can set it up in a minute. Holds 1500 pounds and the legs store under the table top when not in use.

I've had one for over a year. It doesn't get heavy use but I love mine. I use it for many things. It will hold a lot of weight. I put my table saw, compound sliding miter, etc on it. I paid $99 for it and it was worth it to me.
Edit. I should have said Worx Pegasus instead of "one"This message has been edited. Last edited by: Shallowenuf,

Not sure what you are trying to say.
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

Available at SAMS club for $59 and I think I saw that it is going on sale at either SAMS or Costco but I don't recall for sure.
Turns out it is going on sale for $39 at SAMS for one day only Dec 15.

I don't remember what else I looked at when I was looking for a small router table, I do remember the Bosch specifically didn't compare to what the Kreg offered. There were other tables, maybe Skil IIRC, and they were junk.
I guess what I'm saying is Kreg is better than the competition. Maybe a bit pricier, worth it.

The WORX Pegasus is on sale for $98 bucks and change at Menard's. It looks to be a good, stable, table, but I'm not sure it is worth that with so many other lesser priced options. Just sayin' yo'.
