A retractable workbench is provided that is mounted to a vertical surface such as a wall. The workbench is retractable between a horizontally oriented deployed position, and a vertically oriented retracted position. The workbench is vertically adjustable along wall mounts. Bench mounted tools may be mounted on rotatable panels, and the panels may be inverted when the workbench is retracted, thereby allowing the workbench to be fully rotated to the vertically oriented retracted position without removing the tools. Storage of tools and hardware may be achieved by a rotatable mounting surface that attaches to the workbench. Workbench legs that support the workbench when deployed are also retractable, and the legs may be adjusted for height and securely attached to the floor for additional stability.

What is claimed is: 1. A retractable workbench comprising: a pair of wall mounts spaced from one another and mounted to a wall; a bench having a first end rotatably mounted to said wall mounts, and having a second end extending away from said wall mounts, said bench being selectively movable between a retracted position wherein the bench is aligned substantially vertical, and an extended position wherein said bench extends substantially horizontal; a pair of retractable legs rotatably connected to said second end of said bench; and a rotationally mounted panel attached to said bench, said rotationally mounted panel being rotatable between a first position wherein an upper surface of said rotationally mounted panel is substantially planar with an upper surface of said bench, and an inverted second position wherein a lower surface of said rotationally mounted panel is substantially planar to said upper surface of said bench, said rotationally mounted panel being rotatable about an axis extending substantially parallel to a plane of the bench. 2. A workbench, as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said rotationally mounted panel includes a rotation pin about which said rotationally mounted panel rotates between the first and second positions, and at least one removable fastener interconnecting said rotationally mounted panel and said bench. 3. A workbench, as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said rotationally mounted panel is secured to a lateral side edge of said bench. 4. A workbench, as claimed in claim 1, wherein: each leg includes a receiver portion and a telescoping portion selectively extendable with respect to said receiver portion. 5. A workbench, as claimed in claim 1, wherein: each leg further includes a foot attached thereto. 6. A workbench, as claimed in claim 1, further including: a first roller assembly mounted in each said wall mount, and a latch integral with each roller assembly for selectively positioning a height of said workbench with respect to said wall mounts by lifting or lowering the bench thus moving the roller assemblies within the wall mounts. 7. A workbench, as claimed in claim 6, wherein: said latch includes a handle portion rotatably communicating with said first rotatable end of said bench, and a hook portion extending from said handle and selectively engageable with selected height adjustment means formed on said wall mounts. 8. A workbench, as claimed in claim 1, further including: means attached to at least one of said wall mounts for securing the second end of the bench when said bench is placed in the retracted position. 9. A workbench, as claimed in claim 6, further including: a second roller assembly mounted in one of said rail supports and vertically spaced from said first roller assembly, a rod interconnecting said first roller assembly and said second roller assembly, and a bench capturing means extending from said second roller assembly for capturing said second end of said bench when said bench is placed in the retracted position. 10. A workbench, as claimed in claim 1, further including: a planar member having an upper end rotatably connected to said bench, and rotatable between a first substantially vertical hanging position under said bench, and a second substantially vertical hanging position adjacent a lower surface of said bench when said bench is rotated to the retracted position. 11. A workbench, as claimed in claim 1, further including: an organizer cabinet having an upper end rotatably connected to said bench, and rotatable between a first substantially vertical hanging position under said bench, and a second substantially vertical hanging position adjacent a lower surface of said bench when said bench is rotated to the retracted position.
