Garage stool rubber boots for bottoms.

[skipnay]

I have two garage stools. Wouldn't you know it the plastic piece on the bottom has cracked off the one leg making it wobble. I can't stand it. The other one has rubber pieces and two of them are off. What is something I can use to keep these stools from doing this? The picture below is a picture of my stool that I found on the internet. It isn't my picture.

P.S. I have tried JB Weld, I have tried super glue, and so on. It just doesn't stay.

Are you talking about the tips on the legs that make contact with the floor? If so, you can get new leg tips at home depot, lowes or just about any hardware store. Or, are you talking about the bottom of the seat cushion, where the legs attach to the cushion base? A picture of your problem would help to be able to suggest a fix.

The pieces at the bottom of the legs that touch the floor.

like honcho sez, those feet things come in rubber or plastic-like nylon and you can get them just about anywhere - HD, Lowes, Ace, Wal Mart, CVS, etc.

What is the outside diameter of the leg tubing?

Medical supply house and use a cane rubber cap.

My thoughts exactly. I would think the cane bottoms would take longer to wear out.

My local ACE hardware carries those rubber cane tips in two sizes. Try ACE.

HD and Lowes will have them, but it might not be the quality you want.
This was my experience.
Who makes the tighter fitting, longer wearing ones?

In addition to cane tips they also make slides for walker frames that are a tough material. If I remember correctly on the feet for a walker they have a screw in the bottom that will expand the insert to retain it. Walker feet are available at most pharmacy's. Once fitted run a screw through the frame and foot to retain it if there are not other means.

I bought these. High quality rubber, not the vinyl ones that come on new stools.
