So my obsession with obtaining these excellent vintage Black & Decker workmates continues much to my wife’s annoyance.
I was flicking through marketplace yesterday and I saw another B&D workmate WM625 advertised on Facebook and thought I’d go after that one too.
Dropped the guy a quick message and the deal was done. No messing about on the price, gave him what he wanted. £40. Just a quick trip to South Ockenden to collect on a Sunday afternoon.
Got it home and after a quick wipe down in the utility room by the girls to get off the dust, don’t even think this one needs any restoration, it’s pretty much perfect.
Everything works as it should. the jaws are a little stiff to adjust so I’ll strip and clean the drive screw and re-grease when I get a moment.
For now, it’s a beer by the fire and a watch of Blue Planet II with my favourite David Attenborough. Merry Christmas.
