Don't Laugh, Very Handy Scoot Buggy.

Allows you to scoot around shop if you have the room. Can sit and work on a lot of areas of a project. Opps! need a tool, scoot over to the tool box nd get it.
Save steps, save time. I use it all the time. Just a old office chair with wheels.

Thanks, gota scoot.

 

The last shop I worked at before I moved west, I did a ton of welding of heavy equipment on my knees. I threw together a rolling stool out of some scrap pipe, sheetmetal and some casters. It made life so much easier, but the old boss-man was relentless at making fun of me for being lazy... sitting while I work... blah, blah, blah...

My last day of work when I was packing up my things, I couldn't find my stool to take with me. I asked the old man if he'd seen it, and his half-smirk while saying no was a dead giveaway. I let him think he pulled on over on me.

A few months later when I was back in PA to pick up another load of stuff, I stopped by to say hi, and he was sitting on my "missing" stool while busy welding. I snuck up behind him and yelled, "HEY! Get off my stool, you lazy bum!!" He was so embarrassed.

 

WORK SMARTER,
NOT HARDER. Helps my back a lot.

 

Got myself a harbor freight rolling stool. It is a lot easier to roll around, with these athritic joints, than get up and down a lot.. When welding i feel more relaxed sitting rather than squatting or kneeling. Stools are like bi-focals, they are hard to get along without.

 

Right on. I like the Heavy Chevy name. In the 90's my son I bracket raced a 1970 2 door Chevy Impala with a warmed up 454. Didn't go that fast, it was very consistent, and he could cut a light. Just foot brake racing, but we beat a lot of expensive cars. We did a lot of innovative things (not cheating) and won a lot of races. Best night ever in Shreveport La he cut 3 perfect lights, one in the final round against a $40,000 roadster. They asked us not to come back, but relinquished after I let them totally inspect the car. Wow, got carried away. Sorry.

 

my daughter bought this one christmas . my scoot

 

Is it bad if you have two rolling stools? I'm not admitting to feeling guilt, yet. It lets my 11yr old helper have a hangout too, yeah, that's it...

 

Mine has adjustable height. Came from a hospital.

 

I've got 2 in the shop,gotta have one for the occasional visiter...ya just have to relax while solving world crisis..LOL.I need a broom on now...

 

Another Harbor Freight rolling stool user here. Mechanic's Roller Seat

Adjustable chairs seem to fail after about a year. Just my experience ...

 

Focker you would show something in the digital age . . probably cost more than some of the used cars I have owned
no dought it's cool

 

You can lean back in the office scooter!!!

 

That company can out to my work and gave us a demo, even had several mechs try it out, cost $10K each, but you get a price brake for orders over 20 or more.

 

I've had a Harbor Freight pneumatic roller seat (the round one with a lower tray) for over 5 years, and it still works perfectly. I found it really handy when I was wiring all the switches and receptacles in a new house. The tray held the wire stripper, wirenuts, tools, etc, and I could scoot from box to box without having to get up. The thing was like $18 with a coupon- money well spent!

I had one of those harbor freight scoots like Tim posted and the wheels kept falling off. Finally the metal tore around the hole. So I attached it to a harbor freight furniture dolly. More stable but less maneuverable. Not idea for me but works.

 

I have a couple rolling chairs , a rolling stool maybe 14" tall and another one maybe 6" tall they all get used alot

 

I also have the HF seat. Works well for me. Never had a problem with the wheels as long as the mounts were kept tight.
