What Are the Best Modular Workbenches Available in Australia?

When it comes to setting up a well-organised, high-performing garage or workspace, choosing the best modular workbenches is essential. At GTools, we understand how important it is to have storage that not only looks good but also works well for years to come. As a 100% Australian-owned and operated business, we've proudly served Australians with quality and value for nearly a decade. Whether you're a weekend DIYer or a professional mechanic, our wide range of modular workbenches is designed to meet your needs and fit your budget.

Let’s explore what makes a great modular workbench and which options are best available in Australia today.

Why a Modular Workbench Is a Smart Choice?

Modular workbenches are gaining popularity across Australian homes and workshops for good reason. They provide the flexibility to customise your workspace to your exact needs. Whether you need a cabinet with drawers, metal cabinet storage, or a heavy duty work bench, a modular setup allows you to mix and match components for maximum efficiency.

Unlike traditional fixed setups, modular units can be rearranged or expanded over time. This makes them ideal for evolving workspaces, growing tool collections, or changing project needs. You get exactly what you need, without wasting space or overspending.

Standard Series – Best Value for Money

If you’re after a dependable workbench that won’t stretch your budget, the Standard Modular Series is a brilliant starting point.

This series is ideal for both home users and professionals looking for a budget-friendly option without compromising on quality. Built from 0.8mm steel and available in 46cm or 52cm depth, it’s tough enough to take on most tasks.

Key Features:

1. Strong steel construction

2. Expandable modular design

3. Multiple configuration options

Understanding Storage Options

No modular setup is complete without proper storage. That’s where our metal storage cabinets, metal cabinet storage, and small cabinets with drawers come into play.

Depending on your needs, you can combine different storage components to match your workflow. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Metal Storage Cabinets

These are tall, sturdy, and perfect for storing bulky tools, power equipment, or chemicals. They help keep your floor space clear and make everything easy to find.

Cabinet with Drawers

Drawer cabinets allow you to organise smaller items—like sockets, drill bits, or fasteners—so you’re not wasting time searching. Look for drawer systems with strong sliders and good weight support.

Small Cabinet with Drawers

Need something compact? Small drawer cabinets fit neatly into tighter spaces and are great for hobbyists or anyone working with lots of small tools or parts.

Each modular workbench series from GTools is compatible with these storage solutions, meaning you can always add more as your tool collection grows.

Choose Standard If:

1. You're on a budget
2. You need reliable quality
3. You want flexibility to expand over time

1. You want a modern, coordinated look

Things to Consider Before Buying a Modular Workbench

Choosing the right workbench setup isn't just about looks or cost. Consider these factors before you decide:

1. How Much Space Do You Have?

Measure your garage or workspace. Make sure your chosen configuration fits comfortably.

2. What Will You Be Using It For?

Different jobs require different setups. If you're into woodworking, you might need deeper benchtops and heavy drawers. If you just need tool storage, a smaller setup may work fine.

3. Do You Need Power Access?

Many of our pegboards and work surfaces include power access—great for charging tools or plugging in equipment.

4. Do You Plan to Expand?

If you want to start small and build your workspace over time, go for a series that offers flexibility and modular growth.
