Ron Hickman invented the workmate bench quite on accident. While making a wardrobe, he accidentally damaged a chair he was using to steady a piece of wood he was sawing.

When was the Black and Decker workmate 400 first made?

The Workmate was developed in the late '60s in England by Ron Hickman, a South African who designed the Lotus Elan. The first Workmate bench was offered in the UK in 1973 and the US in '75. I don't know when the 400 was made but I have an early version that does not have a number and a later one marked as a 550. Don't know the date, but I recall reading a history of it in a book about workshop design. The story also mentions details such as the cast-aluminum frame of the early design, and the fact that Sears attempted to steal the concept... I believe the Workmate was invented in the U.K..
