Who's using the Home Depot Husky tables or workbenches for their reloading station?

Finally moved into a new house and have a good sized heated, insulated garage. I originally thought I would build a workbench, but I don't have all the time in the world on my hands and lumber prices are insane.

Home Depot has a lot of their Husky branded stuff on sale for 30-35% off currently with free ship.

This one peaked my interest, but I wonder if it is heavy/stable enough

Starting to lean towards one of these and mount some pegboard or square-lok panels on the wall

I'm not using a husky but I'm using something similar. Can't remember which but it came from sams club I think. Ordered it online. Seems to work fine but I'd much rather have the skills tools and knowledge to build a custom bunch.

I bought three of the HD work benches with the drawers on a Black Friday sale a few years ago.....they work great and with casters i can move for cleaning should that ever happen. A buddy remodeled his kitchen and bought one for a moveable island. A local body shop changed the color for his wife's taste.

Mine is similar. Works just fine. I have a wheeled drawer set that fits underneath.

I used a folding Black & Decker WorkMate for the first 10 years of reloading when I got married. Didn't have space. Now it's a dedicated bench in the work room.

The Yukon wood working bench from harbor freight is a pretty solid option IMO, specially with a coupon. It’s way more solid than I thought it would be. Biggest annoying thing about it, is it has holes in the surface I cut a 3/4 wood dowel up and plugged them all.


I like the holes. Makes it stupid easy to clamp things down on the bench.


Rockchucker mounted on a board, take it on and off as you want. My 4 different shotshell presses, mounted on boards. Work in same area, can set everything under the bench.

I have the husky table and it works well for me. Solid and adjustable height is nice because I stand for all my reloading chores

I use a truckstop restaurant table base. And a scrap of 1/4 inch aluminum plate for the top. Space saving and portable, if ya move a lot....

I use that husky table with my press mounted right to the top. It is very sturdy. I looked at multiple options and based on cost and sturdiness, the husky table was the best.

used a Husky adjustable top for years, worked great, but after picking up some lower cab's I switched over this year for better space and storage20200505_185539.jpg

You can build a hell of a workbench for $250. The items like these look clean for sure but I always end up talking myself into just building it and I can make it whatever I want. I'm a cheap ass.
