While I don't have THAT one,I've got a homemade version of it that I use quite often.Since i don't have a lift,all brake,suspension and front endwork is done with jackstands.My little stool saves a lot of wear and tear on my back and knees and holds tools and parts in an easily accessed and convenient place-couldn't live without it.

I have that one! Use all the time to sit back and take a break. Very comfortable! I've had it for about 6 months now and still haven't used it for any work other than to support some longer boards when using my miter saw.

I have the one without the back, and I use the **** out of it. When you are working on jackstands it really saves your back.

I have that exact model and couldn't do without it. I use it for working on the brakes and suspension and it's really handy for waxing the lower half of the car. Makes reaching the rocker panels a breeze.

we have both types at the shop the kind with the lower back brace and those without , I prefer the one with as I am taller and bend over more and the back peice makes my back feel better by giving it support , the ones without the shorter guys use, untill there back hurts then they steal mine :wtf: , we built one for one of the old timers that details the doorjambs & quarters that has a real high back, he likes it but anyone else sits in it complains that it leans forward (on purpose) and when they lean back they are on there backs :lol $89 is not much to keep your back from hurting ..

Those are great for when you don't need a creeper but want to save your knees. I use it mostly for brake work when the car is jacked up.

I've got one just like that I bought from Cornwell. Sure saves my old busted up knees.

How big of a hassle is it to turn it into a seat? I have seen those before and thought it would be frustrating.

I bought mine from Autovalue....all I have to do is flip the head rest over and it pops into a seat....to turn it back into a creeper I have to flip a latch and then refold. I think it is very easy. With my old garage I was only 10x20 I didn't have much room so I bought this to save room and it grew on me.

Like Thumper, I have that same one from Cornwell. I use it everyday when i'm sanding on cars and blocking out bodywork and stuff like that.

I use mine all the time. Goes great with a sisior jack for brake work and doing body repairs on the lower portions using the sisior jack. I have a recycled tire rubber ramps that give a eight inch lift and I use them constantley for doing quick detail work on the front of cars. The stool goes with it. Always fixing plastic bumpers from brail parking and then the getting the bugs of my own cars in comfort. If it is comfortable to do a job you will do a better job. Usualy. Hugh
