Not Your Fathers Workmate

I own an old Black and Decker Workmate which I have had for about 30 years. I have a summer home and thought I would purchase a second one for a project here. What a difference! I spent almost 2 hours trying to decipher the instructions and assembling the workmate. Once I had it put together it was nothing like the original. It is much smaller, lighter, and not nearly as sturdy. I think they should call it the Playmate instead of Workmate.
