In the next month my family and I will be moving and all my tools will go into storage till we find a house.  We will be living with my mother during that time and no real space for a workbench nor will i have tools to build a makeshift workbench for DIY stuff while I am there.  Also no room for sawhorse style workbench either...space is a premium in a home full of chotckies.  I will have a Festool Systainer 1 full of tools like a small ratchet socket set.  A hammer, my Bosch PS21 driver and a couple other things plus a couple bicycle tools. 

So I am looking at buying a foldable workbench such as the Wolfcraft, and Black and Decker Workmate.  Yes I know the quality of these things are seriously lacking but I will need something to work on that is good for space premium areas like my examples stated.  Other then these two stated what other brands do you recommend?  Staying under $100.00
 
What ever you do don't get a Wolfcraft MasterCut 1000 - had one before my MFT/3 and it was a royal POS.
 
I dont believe its offered here....i am strictly looking at the small folding work tables....usually run under $100

I like the Stanley saw horses with the 1.5 inch dado on the ends because you can
make different size workbenches when needed and the fold away to take up less
space.

I take it you didnt read the whole part about not enough room for saw horse style workbench
 
Dinkjs; If you're still in Grapevine, I'll give you an old Workmate. Since I got the MFT/3, I'm not using it anymore.

No problems with it. I could meet somewhere between Grapevine and Fort Worth. I live in Granbury.

Worst case, you could always make a small torsion box and buy folding legs. I'm sure you could do that for less than $100. Just a suggestion!
