Worx Sidekick Work Table

Worx Sidekick Work Table

Worx has come out with a new Sidekick portable work table, WX066. The Worx Sidekick work table looks like an adaption (or copy?) of Centipede’s collapsible sawhorse system, which is now available at online and physical store retailers across the country.

The Worx Sidekick has two main components, a folding work table surface, and collapsible 4-post leg structure. It’s said to be compact, lightweight, and convenient. It can support up to 300 lbs.

Worx Sidekick Work Table Legs and Top Assembly

The top work surface has dog holes, as well as 4 included bench dog clamps, as well as recesses for holding your loose screws and parts.

It also comes with 2 Link Locks, for connecting multiple Sidekick work tables together. From the looks of it, you can also connect the Worx Sidekick to the Worx Pegasus folding clamping work table.

Worx Sidekick Work Table Folded Up

The table top is removed and folds over the collapsed legs, allowing for compact storage and easy carry. Sorry, the detached hand is not included.

Dimensions

  • 24″ x 24″ tabletop
  • 32″ working height
  • Weighs “less than 14 lbs”

Price: $60

First Thoughts

Since the Worx Sidekick looks to have been heavily inspired by the Centipede portable sawhorse and work support system, let’s compare the two.

The Centipede is larger, and has higher weight capacity. No, the Centipede does not have its own work table top, but you can easily attach plywood or another sheet material to make one.

With Worx seemingly borrowing Centipede’s idea, maybe Centipede should borrow from Worx, and come out with a folding plastic table top that can be attached to their work stand legs.

Just looking at the Worx Sidekick, there are some very nice ideas incorporated into the design. I like that you can connect several units together to create a larger one. I wonder – how sturdy is the connection?

Dog holes? Sounds good. Hopefully it’s a standard size and can be used with 3rd party clamps and accessories. Recesses for holding loose fasteners and parts? Sounds good to be. There are ruler markings as well, which could come in handy.

The Worx Sidekick is a $60 portable work table that looks quite useful. Their product images show it being used for crafts, camping, DIY projects, and even legless on the floor as the base for a kid’s puzzle.

I had recently been looking at plastic folding tables to hold my camera, tools, or telescope gear when in out in the field. This looks like a decent multi-use folding table that might serve such purposes, and then some.

Worx’s marketing language makes it sound like a less serious workshop tool – goes seamlessly from workshop table to craft table to picnic table in an instant – but in this case I think that’s a good thing.

There are other portable workbenches on the market, such as Keter’s folding workbench, and Husky’s sturdy portable jobsite workbench (reviewed here) coming to mind. The Worx Sidekick is smaller, but perhaps that will work out in its favor. Sometimes you don’t need a large portable workbench, you just need a small sidekick, and it looks like that’s what you get with this one.

    I’ve got an old Stanley sawhorse set and one of the sides has a fold out table on it about this size. I use it all the time for staining. It’s really handy.

    This looks useful and compact when folded, important in my already over-crowded garage.

    You can get the husky for the same price. It’s larger and can hold up a lot more than 300 lbs. It also has 2 slots for bar clamps and is pretty versatile. 24×24 seems a bit small to me. Dog holes?

      I have the Husky table. Really love it.

      I also have two Kreg mobile centers that I use with my track saw. They are really great as well although a bit expensive.

      I will second the Husky table. I think I actually purchased it after seeing a review on here. I have literally used it nonstop since buying it. Super portable and easy to setup and very sturdy. I throw it in my SUV all the time as well and it has held up well.

          The 1.8×3′ table. I haven’t used it to it’s full potential but the built in clamp rails are nice.

          I have a Keter that is the same as the Husky at the first link except no router table cutout or dog holes. I love it and use it all the time. Stable, lightweight, so easy to set up. I’ve stopped using Black and Decker Workmate (larger, older version) most of the time in favor of this. It has rails to hold 2×4’s though I’ve never used them.

          I did look at the centipede but some of the reviews said it was not good on uneven ground, like grass, just the driveway. That was with using a plywood top, though.
          Wonder if this has that limitation.

            I don’t think Keter sells the one I have anymore.

    We had issues with our Stanley plastic sawhorses breaking in extreme cold (sub zero F) temperatures. If we had our druthers we wouldn’t have been setting up outdoors either in those temperatures.

    Looks a bit fiddly to set up to me. I like the Keter tables as they unfold and fold with a single motion, I don’t want to have to stuff around on the job assembling a table. That said this could be very useful in the home garage.

    If you take weight out of the equation . for 60 dollars you can get those toughbuilt or their Lowes counterpart sawhorse devices. they are sturdier and you can put whatever you want on them. so if you need/want to you can run you 8ft 2×4’s (3 dollars each) and a sheet of 1/2 or more plywood on top (sadly 20ish) and have a very very sturdy – transportable table – and with the top drill all the dog holes or whatever you like.

    only need a 4 ft pad – same saw horses (or really any others at this point) and that 1/2 ply but on a 4ftx4ft panel. and you’d still have more weight and flexibility. Admittedly this is arguably more transportable.
