Just a regular round orange stool with a tray and wheels nothing fancy just a simple one that works.

I bought a Vyper. Super heavy duty stool. Its a tank! Expensive as heck here in Canada. But worth it.

I've been happy with mine. Got it at a lower introductory price. Seat is firm, but overall it does well. I also added some white litium grease to a few points when I put it together which helps the casters.

I like mine, I did the same thing with mine, but used Loctite on a majority of the bolts. Now it is good and solid. Also used to heat gun to warm up the stickers and remove them. Then used goof-off to wipe off the silk screen label that says “grants” And finally, I applied a brand name sticker which came with a purchase from a well-known polishing company.

I've had and use my snap on creeper seat for over 20 years now. Still going strong.

I've had mine for 3 years, I've changed the casters to 5" and used loctite on the bolts. Has a few rust spots, but it's still going strong

I have a craftsman stool and the first thing I did was install 4 inch casters...........much smoother movement

I had trouble with the HF chinese wheels/hardware on mine, too. Bought a Sears stool and they went out of biz!

I just bought mine today and I'm using your video to put it together. A couple of things to note are, the big washers #24 you used on the tops of the Short Frame #2 should have been used when attaching the Seat Base #16 using the Bolt M6x25mm #23 to the Cross Bar #14. The washer to replace the #24 is Flat Washer M6 #4, the same as the one on the lower Lock Nut M6 #5. I'm sure it doesn't matter and all will be well, at least until it's not.

Just bought one of these yesterday to replace an old HF rolling seat. One of the seat bolt threads was stripped out right out of the box. Thankfully the seat just rests on the sides so it isn't a huge deal. We'll see if this thing is worth the $70 it costs.

Brian I have the same allen multi-key set. I also have the T-handle set from Harbor Freight. I like those too, but it's nice to have all the sizes in one tool.

I’ve thought about this chair. Good thoughts on improvements. Maybe I would switch things out to grade 8 hardware and ceramic coat it 😂

@richardseem7948 11 ай бұрын

Looks pretty solid.imo seems like a lot of plastic not much steel .

@neilwalker5041 11 ай бұрын

Good idea to throw away the tools they give you. Looks like they need a thicker threaded bolt for the casters in my opinion. Appreciate the video.

Wish I could use a seat to do wheels my driveway is a bit too small

The Vyper is an excellent stool. I have a few different types. Have 2 from Adams and one from Amazon I reviewed it for the product. I see a lot of different brands but how many can I use. Thanks Brian and that is a decent one from Harbor freight 👍🏽

@kevinelia7123 11 ай бұрын

Glad you showcased this. The first one I purchased the ball bearings blew out and I was within 90 days and HF changed it out. My second one I got the “plan” for 2 years. Guess what? The grey rubber on the wheel blew out. So now back to HF for the 3rd one. It’s junk but I will keep going back to replace. Great video!

They hardly ever give me a hard time when I do a return.

@kimnewling5728 11 ай бұрын

I see this detailing stool is not height adjustable. It also looks like the padding for the seat is hard. You are right about casters. My little cheap stool is on its 2nd set. Oh, well. Rolling around for Sissys play time looks fun. Get him Sissy!

@apexdetail85 11 ай бұрын

The padding does very little.

Hi Brian, Would it be possible to put larger rubber tires on this?? I work on concrete and it much more difficult to role compared to a shop floor. Thanks for the video. Respect from NC.

@tomchinigo5014 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video Brian. I use a mini telescoping stool (no wheels) that compresses to a very small foorprint. On a different note, I have BC5 and it is amazing !! Can I use BC5 on my headlights ? Thanks !

@apexdetail85 11 ай бұрын

You can use BC 1,5,7 on headlights.

You are using a thread sealant and calling it a thread locker. Those are different products. LG188 is a teflon thread sealant used primarily on metal pipe to seal the threads from leaks.
