HDS Portable Workbench — How I Turned My Truck Into a Mobile Workshop

If you've ever picked up a load of timber only to find it's too long to close the tailgate, you'll know the frustration. Multiple trips, wasted time, and a job that should've been simple suddenly isn't.

I've been there more times than I'd like to admit — so I started doing something different.

In my latest short video, I show how I set up the HDS portable workbench directly on the rear of my truck. With a flat surface and the HDS hold down system in place, I can trim, cut, and size materials on the spot — no workshop needed.

It's a setup that works anywhere there's a flat surface, which is exactly what the HDS was designed for. Whether you're a carpenter, joiner, or serious DIY enthusiast, having a compact and high-performance workholding solution with you on the road changes how you work.

Efficiency on site starts before you even arrive.
