The Item in My Kit
I bought WORX Pegasus Folding Workbench as part of my camper van equipment.
Building the van meant moving tools between work areas and packing them back into the vehicle. A folding bench is one of the portable workshop purchases in my equipment collection.
Planning for Tools That Moved with the Work Area
- I measured and assembled the storage drawer on the patio.
- I used an outdoor saw setup for roof-equipment fabrication.
- I packed tools back into the van and drove out to work during other stages of the build.
Camper Van Project Applications
A folding bench trades a permanent shop position for portability and storage convenience. Its clamping arrangement and the room around the workpiece affect how useful it is at a temporary worksite. Steven's outdoor van build is the practical context for comparing it with a fixed bench.

Manufacturer Specifications And Instructions
| Specification | Manufacturer Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | WX051 Pegasus |
| Tabletop | 31 × 25 inches |

WORX supplies two bar clamps and four clamp dogs with the Pegasus. Its two load ratings refer to different configurations; the folding dimensions are useful when planning how a temporary work surface will fit into the van or trailer.
My Experience with This Tool
By Steven Smith
I used my WORX Pegasus folding workbench outside while building the van, including to support my WEN drill press. That was a portable outdoor setup, and I usually had not bolted the drill press to it.

Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom. This is my WORX Pegasus folding workbench. I used it outside while building the van, including to support my WEN drill press. It belonged to a portable working setup, rather than a permanent workshop bench. Here is how that setup fits into my build story.
The matching product picture shows the folding table, its work surface and the clamping accessories. A tabletop provides support, while the clamps and bench dogs help position a workpiece. Those roles belong together, but supporting the piece and holding it in place are separate parts of the setup.
My build photographs show the outdoor saw arrangement and the storage-drawer frame on my patio. They show the wider workshop moving between jobs. I measured and assembled the drawer outside and packed equipment back into the van during other stages. The workshop footage illustrates measuring and holding work.
A portable workbench brings together the work surface, the supporting frame and the way the piece is held. The diagram separates those parts of the arrangement. Room around the piece matters when fitting or clamping it. Packing the bench away is another part of choosing a folding format.
My owner experience here was using the Pegasus outside during the van build. It supported my drill press as part of that portable arrangement. The larger project involved moving equipment between storage, transport and the place where the work was happening. That is the practical setting behind this bench purchase.
The matching drill-press picture shows my original WEN four-two-zero-eight T. I usually had it sitting unbolted on the WORX bench outdoors, sometimes on uneven ground. The drill press was the machine, while the Pegasus supplied the supporting surface. My separate drill-press review explains that working arrangement in more detail.
My page compares two researched alternatives. The Keter uses a broad folding tabletop with adjustable clamps. The BLACK and DECKER Workmate W M one-two-five uses a narrower split clamping surface on a folding frame. Their matching pictures show those different ways of supporting and holding a piece.
Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom. This was my WORX Pegasus account: a folding workbench in the portable outdoor setup behind my van build. The full bench review, related original drill-press account, build photographs and current buying options are linked below. Until next time.

My Takeaway from This Job
The diary shows a workshop arrangement that changed with the job. The folding bench is part of my portable equipment purchases, and the comparison turns on how a broad clamping table or split work surface supports the next piece.
