EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2023.
You may not think of Aldi when you think of retailers that sell tools or home improvement products. However, the grocer does sometimes stock a limited number of tools and accessories. Over the years, we’ve seen Aldi sell items such as drills, wet/dry vacuums, screwdriver sets, ladders, sawhorses, clamps, tool cabinets, and more.
Recently, Aldi is selling a WORKZONE Foldable Workbench that offers a workspace for various projects in and around the house. It’s also conveniently portable and can easily be stored when not in use.
WORKZONE is not a separate company. Instead it’s the Aldi private label for various tools and home improvement-related products. Other products we’ve seen at Aldi under the WORKZONE brand include a rechargeable LED work light, a garage tool holder, and a torque wrench.
What We Know:
The 2022 model.
The WORKZONE Foldable Workbench (Product Code: 814893 in 2022; Product Code: 822800 in 2023 ) cost $19.99 in October of 2023. That’s $5 less than the $24.99 it cost in 2022.
That’s also on the lower range of prices for folding or portable workbenches on Amazon, with various models starting in the $30s and going up into the $150s. The Aldi workbench looks somewhat similar to a Black+Decker portable workbench that went for about $29 on Amazon at the time of writing. That makes the Aldi workbench appear to be the better deal.
This workbench is an Aldi Find, so it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and after that sells out, they’re gone unless Aldi decides to bring them back at some point. Aldi does not have online ordering for products you can’t find at your local store.
The workbench folded up and ready for storage.
Here’s more information on the workbench, according to Aldi:
- Compact, lightweight design folds flat for easy storage
- Includes 4 detachable plastic clamps
- 330-lb. capacity
- Assembled dimensions (without clamps): 24.8″ x 23.8″ x 29.9″
This workbench came with a three-year warranty in 2021, but Aldi has not yet published information about a warranty for the 2023 model. We’re assuming the 2023 workbench probably does come with some kind of warranty or after-sales service.
What We Don’t Know:
We haven’t tried this workbench, so we don’t know how well it works or how durable it is. We write open threads so readers can have a space to talk about Aldi products.
