The Sjobergs Smart Workstation Pro Review. 11 reasons why this is one of those absolutely must have additions to your home DIY and small woodworking shop. Buy the Sjobergs Smart Workstation Pro on Amazon here


We’ve all been there with a DIY job or quick woodworking project. You’re trying to get the job done on the kitchen table or over the back of a couple of chairs to support your work. You’ve got a bench in your woodworking shop but this needs to be done indoors close to where the job is.

Sjobergs Smart Workstation Pro Review

This is where the Sjobergs Smart Workstation Pro comes in. The Sjobergs Workstation Pro will clamp to any available work surface and if you’re careful (so as not to get into trouble with your partner!) it will clamp to the kitchen counter or even the dining table or a folding table.

You’re then ready to go with your job whether your cutting, drilling or sanding the Sjobergs Smart Workstation Pro will hold everything firm and be rock steady just as if you were working at a full size bench.

Sjobergs Smart Workstation Pro vs Smart Vise

The major differences between the Sjobergs Smart Workstation Pro vs Smart Vise is the build quality. Don’t get me wrong, the Sjobergs Smart Vice is a great portable workbench it’s just that the Smart Workstation Pro steps things up a whole lot.

The first thing you’re going to notice about the Sjobergs Smart Workstation Pro vs Smart Vise is the size. The Workstation Pro is bigger all round.

The work surface on the  Sjorbergs Smart Workstation Pro is 20 7/8 inches by 14 7/8 inches as compared to 14 ¼ by 14 ¼ inches for the Smart Vice.

The work surface on the Workstation Pro is 1 5/8 inch thick solid European Beech whilst the Sjobergs Smart Vice is 1 inch MDF. Give me the durability of the Beech Worktop anytime.

The Workstation Pro sits at 3 ½ inches of the bench which is slightly higher than the Sjobergs Smart Vice.

Weighing in at 22.4 lbs. as against 16.3 lbs. for the Sjobergs Smart Vice the Workstation Pro is just a real solidly built portable workbench.

Complete with 4 x Sjobergs superb glass filled bench dogs and a set of jaw cushions the Smart Workstation Pro is a real DIY’ers friend.
