A workbench comprising: a work support structure ; a first leg member pivotable between a first position where said first leg member is folded against said work support structure and a second position where said first leg member extends downwardly and supports said work support structure; a second leg member ; pivotable between a first position where said second leg member is folded against said work support structure and a second position where said second leg member extends downwardly and supports said work support structure; a handle ; a rack and pinion system coupling the first leg member, the second leg member, and the handle, wherein moving the handle relative to the work support structure causes both the first leg member and the second leg member to extend to their respective second positions or retract to their respective first positions; and said workbench further comprises: a leg latch mechanism configured to both secure one or more of the first leg member and the second leg member in one or more of their respective first positions or their respective second positions, characterized in that the leg latch mechanism prevents sliding movement of the handle, and wherein said leg latch mechanism comprises an actuator button ; a locking lever retractor coupled to the actuator button; and a spring biased locking lever having a leg engagement protrusion that is configured to selectively engage a leg latch aperture defined by a leg member, and wherein the locking lever further includes a handle lock pin selectively retractable from a handle lock aperture formed in the handle. a work support structure ; a first leg member pivotable between a first position where said first leg member is folded against said work support structure and a second position where said first leg member extends downwardly and supports said work support structure; a second leg member ; pivotable between a first position where said second leg member is folded against said work support structure and a second position where said second leg member extends downwardly and supports said work support structure; a handle ; a rack and pinion system coupling the first leg member, the second leg member, and the handle, wherein moving the handle relative to the work support structure causes both the first leg member and the second leg member to extend to their respective second positions or retract to their respective first positions; and said workbench further comprises: a leg latch mechanism configured to both secure one or more of the first leg member and the second leg member in one or more of their respective first positions or their respective second positions, characterized in that the leg latch mechanism prevents sliding movement of the handle, and wherein said leg latch mechanism comprises an actuator button ; a locking lever retractor coupled to the actuator button; and a spring biased locking lever having a leg engagement protrusion that is configured to selectively engage a leg latch aperture defined by a leg member, and wherein the locking lever further includes a handle lock pin selectively retractable from a handle lock aperture formed in the handle. an actuator button ; a locking lever retractor coupled to the actuator button; and a spring biased locking lever having a leg engagement protrusion that is configured to selectively engage a leg latch aperture defined by a leg member, and wherein the locking lever further includes a handle lock pin selectively retractable from a handle lock aperture formed in the handle. <EOS>
