Abstract
A pair of manually-manipulatable spring-loaded buttons are accessible outwardly of the side walls of a pair of respective vise brackets secured beneath the table of a portable foldable workbench. When the buttons are pressed laterally inwardly, respective latching mechanisms are released to enable the workbench to be raised from a lowered storage position into an erected working position, and vice-versa. The buttons facilitate a rapid movement of the workbench from one position to another, and the buttons are conveniently located on the workbench for improved ergonomics.
