Some 20-odd years ago I bought my father, a keen DIYer, a Black and Decker Jobber for a Christmas present, which I have since inherited.
The Jobber was basically a workmate without legs - it had rubber suction cups on the underside to sit on a bench. It wasn't a great tool to be used every day, but there are some jobs where it excelled.
I use this occasionally when I'm working on doors, as I can stand it on the floor and secure the door whilst I work on the hinges and door catch. Problem is, I could do with two of these jobbers, one at each end of the door, but they don't appear to make them any more (leastways, I couldn't find any online catalogues with them in).
Anyone know of a similar device?
