hardly ever need to knee down i got to crawl under cars only time i need a seat is when i do automatic transmissions and got to adjust the bands , and i just use a normal steel chair or foldup ones. I cant see the use for one of these when you just push the upwards button on the car hoist to be able to work standing .

Unlucky for me, we don't have a hoist in our workshop. Sparky workshop.

Since I dont have a 2 post hoist in my garage, these are great for any job at wheel or hub level when the car is on stands.
Would have that knee cap a bit of work.

yea, was thinking of the knee pads as well. There are times when you just have to be on your knees. Mmmmm, that didn't come out right

Get a round one, the ones with the flat seat break - they are just weatbix wood.

A warning about the exact stool you linked to - if you scoot back too quickly (or run over a tiny bit of crap on the floor) they can flip over and dump you on your arse. I speak from experience.

I use both, office type swivel chair on castors and at times knee pads. Chairs are great if your working at that level.Some knee pads need a wifes sewing machine to make some adjustments as they seem to made for people with legs like tree trunks. Once you get them sorted there pretty good things. I use snap on ones.

Or he could just man up. Back in my day we had no flash concretefloor to kneel on nooo sirrr eeee. We had gravel, and not that smooth girly gravel. That pointy shit it was. Made a man out of ya it did. Youngins these days just dont know how lucky they have it. Probably got a door on the shed to stop the winter gail getting in.

Have a Snapon seat like the one you listed and it is great for doing brakes when the vehicle is up on axle stands.
Totally agree about being careful when scooting backwards on them.Have had to pick myself up off the floor on more than one occasion.
Would highly recommend them.
