TUFF, Strong & Durable: What Workbenches Should Be!<\/h2>\n

When we source new workbenches for our TUFF range there are three characteristics that we look for \u2013 toughness, strength and durability. It is these three combined that make a workbench. Oh so often we hear stories of customers buying cheaper workbenches elsewhere and then come to us after a stronger replacement. By cheaper we don\u2019t always mean in terms of price.<\/p>\n

We always strive to make our workbench prices competitive in today\u2019s market. So, you won\u2019t find workbenches much cheaper elsewhere. And one thing’s for sure we never compromise on quality. We\u2019ll always do our best to offer a quality workbench at the right price. After all, we want you to have the best workbench for the job \u2013 that\u2019s when we\u2019ve done our job well!<\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s what we mean when we keep saying our workbenches are TUFF, strong and durable\u2026<\/p>\n

TUFF (tough)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll see our TUFF brand on all popular exclusive products. The TUFF brand came to life back in 2010. And we don\u2019t just brand any product \u2018TUFF\u2019. The product will have gone through vigorous testing by ourselves to make sure that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It\u2019s a high quality product \u2013 manufactured from good raw materials.<\/li>\n
  2. That it is well made and built \u2013 and if on site assembly is required it is easy to do this.<\/li>\n
  3. That the price is now, and always will be, competitive.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Wherever you see the TUFF brand on our products you can be assured that we are confident in that product.<\/p>\n

    Strong<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    What do we mean when we say our product is strong? In relation to workbenches we are almost always referring to how it\u2019s manufactured and the quality of the raw materials used. But the strength of a workbench also means how much load capacity it will hold. All our workbenches are weight load tested and are given a maximum capacity UDL. Make sure to take note of the UDL as many of our budget benches even have weight capacities up to 300kg.<\/p>\n

    Durable<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Last but by no means least what do we mean when we say durable? Well type this into Google and the definition of durable is \u201cable to withstand wear, pressure or damage; hard-wearing\u201d and I\u2019m not sure we could sum it up any better. When we speak about the durability of a product it is our promise that the product will withstand daily wear and tear. Even when you put our products to the test they will withstand almost everything you throw at them (not literally and of course within reason!).<\/p>\n

    Therefore, when you buy from Direct2U you\u2019ll receive a minimum of a 1 Year Guarantee on your purchase. Our 1 year guarantee is against defective workmanship or materials. Therefore, you can have peace of mind that if the product is faulty we will replace it \u2013 with no quibble and no extra cost.<\/p>\n
