A convertible elongated stepping bench configured to be uses as a standard step stool or a low profile sitting or kneeling platform. The bench includes an elongated rectangular, lightweight rigid frame with two opposite leg assemblies. Each leg assembly includes two pivotally attached rigid legs. Each leg is pivotally attached to a corner of the rigid frame. The leg assemblies pivot between a diagonally downward position that supports the rigid frame in an elevated position over the ground or fold inward, under and rigid frame. Attached to the outside surface of each leg near the pivoting hinge is a foot pad. Extending downward from the bottom surface of the rigid frame are at least two leg stops. When the legs are folded inward, the distal end of each leg rests against a leg stop so that the leg's axis is parallel to the rigid frame's longitudinal axis. When the leg assemblies are folded inward and the bench is placed on the ground, the feet pads on the legs supports the bench on the ground.

A modular, multi-functional, workbench is disclosed that is variable in height, width, and length in order to accommodate a wide variety of applications. The table top includes a plurality of rail pairs supported by leg stands. A rail pair is formed by two extrusions joined together by endplates that maintain a parallel orientation and prevent rotation of the rails. The extrusions are rectangular in cross-section and slotted on all four sides to allow the use of a variety of t-track fasteners. The leg stands support, constrain and locate the rail pairs along the width of the table. The rail pairs provide a table top surface that is generally flat and sturdy. The workbench can be used in an open-grid fashion or with solid top inserts. The modular nature of the workbench makes it easy to store and set up as well as highly versatile and easily transported to job sites.

A table comprising a worktop including an axis of rotation, a perimeter, and an effective radius, the effective radius defined as the average distance between the axis of rotation and the perimeter; a frame; a rotational connection disposed between the worktop and the frame, the connection configured to allow the worktop to rotate about the axis of rotation; and a plurality of bearings disposed between the worktop and the frame to rollingly support the worktop on the frame, at least one of the bearings disposed more than half of the effective radius from the axis of rotation.

Examples of the present invention include tool storage units and methods for storing tools. In examples of the present invention, a tool storage unit comprises a moveable housing with a guide system for allowing movement of the moveable housing in at least one direction. In various examples, the moveable housing is engaged with a base unit and is moved relative to the base unit by a moving mechanism. The moving mechanism moves the moveable housing to provide access to and/or conceal, at least in part, the moveable housing.

A convertible sawhorse and worktable including a sawhorse assembly having first and second outer-facing side surfaces and a worktable top assembly arranged for selectable positioning relative to the sawhorse assembly, the worktable top assembly including a worktable surface defining element and a worktable auxiliary support assembly, the worktable top assembly having at least two operative orientations including a storage operative orientation wherein the worktable surface defining element is located adjacent the first outer-facing side surface of the sawhorse assembly and the worktable auxiliary support assembly is located adjacent the second outer-facing side surface of the sawhorse assembly and a worktable usage operative orientation wherein the worktable surface defining element is located above the sawhorse assembly and the worktable auxiliary support assembly is located adjacent the second outer-facing side surface of the sawhorse assembly.

A workbench-hand truck assembly includes a first pair of legs, a frame, a second pair of legs pivotally coupled to the frame and to the first pair of legs, a workbench configured to be supported by the first and second pairs of legs, a pair of brackets pivotally coupled to the first pair of legs, and a nose plate pivotally coupled to the pair of brackets for movement between a stored position, in which the nose plate extends parallel to and adjacent the workbench, and a deployed position, in which the nose plate extends away from the workbench. The workbench-hand truck assembly is configurable in a hand truck position when the nose plate is in the deployed position, such that the nose plate extends perpendicular to the workbench.

A mobile pipe rack workstation for inspecting and repairing pipe materials, a “Pipe Station.” By folding the pipe station's load/unload arms, removing any tool's from the tool mount and lowering the gantry by retracting the risers; the pipe station is transportable on public roadways without permitting, escorting, or special signage required for oversized loads.
