Avoid this product. The Top seat separates too easily from the bottom and you'll find yourself on the garage floor. Just my experience.

You aren’t the only one. Suddenly, I landed on the garage floor. Luckily, my F/A saved me, but I felt it for a day or two.
I think it has a self ejection feature.
Just checked their website. Lots of complaints about same issue. Hopeful they’ll be a fix or recall because I actually do like the product. Happy thanksgiving everyone.

I got the Vyper Low Pro last week. They aren’t cheap and won’t ever be as cheap as they were in the beginning. But, I doubt I’ll even need to buy another stool again!

Dam you!

The worst thing about the Vyper chairs is that I can't have one in Australia.

I totally get what you mean about finding joy in cleaning wheels while seated! It can be quite therapeutic.

I couldn't agree more, self time keeps me sane. :-)

My similar detailing seat didn't come with padding, however I tracked down the padded seat cap from another brand selling the same seat.

But as you have both discovered, there is a high chance of going ass over tit. I nearly did myself.

Solution? Double sided Velcro applied around the perimeter of the seat, effectively attaching the padded cap onto the seat. Have had no issues since.

I just went with Sandro's recommendation:

Tasha, I really like that model and it has the bigger wheels which are essential for my aggregate driveway. And, it looks like those are the type of rubber wheels that don't shred with use. Definitely putting one of those on my Wish List, thanks!

Big wheels are a game changer. I had a typical mechanic chair from a big box store and small wheels were catching something all the time trying to tip me over. This thing is impossible to lose balance. In it's lowest position, it's also a bit lower than most other typical variants, and the seat is sooo comfortable. I love it.

The only thing - if you end up buying it, when you assemble it you need to remove a tiny black plastic protection cap from the top of the height adjustment damper. Instruction don't mention it and I guarantee that you wouldn't notice it .

For those looking for a chair, Vyper is releasing their newest robust steel pro tomorrow. It’ll have a backrest and is height adjustable.

I've got a folding creeper. It's a creeper, it's a stool.

Link doesn’t work. I have one of those folding creepers as well, but it has small wheels, no wheel locks, and is a bit cumbersome to move around sometimes. But, if it works for you, that’s all that matters!

Link fixed.

One could probably replace the small wheels with something a little bigger.

In looking for the one I purchased, I ran across a stool that converts to both a high or low seat. Also with small wheels.

Just saw this on Harbor Freight. Quite the markdown. I may check it out.

Looks like plastic wheels, buyer beware.

Every stool seen so far, including mine, are for hard floors. I don't use mine as I wash/detail on a gravel driveway. Out of curiosity I searched "Garden Stool with Wheels" on Amazon. Too many choices to list - including some with "storage" that looks a lot like a beer cooler.
