    RIP Ron Hickman

    The man who made a thousand DIY jobs easier.

    He made some nice cars too.

    Such a simple elegantly effective design (the Workmate), the car isn't a shoddy looker either.

    I've had a Workmate for at least 20 years it's had loads of use, packs away small and it's portable. A real design classic.

      I remember my dad seeing the ad on TV and the next day picking one up. Perhaps the most usefull thing in the garage.

        Call that a work mate!?!



        Pah, a proper work mate, makes the tea, fetches the power saw, applies the tourniquet, waits for the ambulance.
