ABSTRACT:
A universal work station apparatus has a base with a vertically extending post attached thereto. The base has four legs attached thereto and each leg may have a wheel or roller thereon and at least two of the legs have a telescoping extension. Each of the legs can be rotated and positioned in different predetermined positions to accommodate different work loads attached to the work station. The four legs generally extend an equal distance in four directions but the legs can be repositioned and telescoped for a second position for supporting large elongated work pieces. A plurality of interchangeable work support attachments are attached to the vertical post. In addition, tool attachment trays are provided along with one tray with a hardware cloth bottom can be positioned for cleaning tools and workpieces placed thereon. A universal work mounting attachment allows the attachment of a large number of small engines, transmissions, and other pieces of work. A tool tray attachment has one edge having a magnet along one edge for holding tools on the edge thereof. Other attachments include a vise attachment and tire mounting and demounting tools. The trays and tool holders are attached to the vertical post with a side mount which clamps onto the post supported through pins extending through apertures in the post and a top mount coupling inserts into a square channel post top opening. All the attachments are coupled with quick removing pins so that the work station can be rapidly converted to different configurations for different jobs.
