I just moved my workshop into a separate building from my house, but
space is very limited. (About 8' X 14') I have decided to forego a
build-in workbench and use a foldable workmate. What are your thoughts
on the two Black and Decker versions: 225 and the 425? Or is there
another brand you would recommend?

Don't know the model, have had one for several years.

Makes a quick portable table and the clamping mechanism serves as an
extra pair of hands from time to time.

A vice and/or a work benck it isn't.
