Stool for Detailing - My back aches.

My back is aching and my little stool isn't doing the job. It doesn't go low enough nor does it go high enough. I feel like i'm being inefficient getting on and off the stool when doing the upper and lower body panels. There has to be a better why.

Any suggestions as to what stool and what stool do you use? or if I should even be using a stool.

:help:

Thanks in advance,

Nick

 

I don't use a stool, I just crouch down. I have to take breaks though. I can't imagine how amazing it would be to work with a lift. Everything would be on your level. Too bad they cost like 7 grand though. Then again, some people spend that on a wax.

 

I'm trying to avoid the idea of a lift regardless of how tempting it maybe. It just doesn't fit into the scheme of things right now.



Any other suggestions?

 

Maybe one of those office chairs with an adjustable height? It might be kinda awkward though... And it might slam into the finish.

 

I take a break every hour and sit in a massage chair, that does the trick for me haha.

 

True thanks for your input

 

I bought a stool from sears yesterday. adjustable height.

Craftsman Mechanics Seat - Model 51164 at Sears.com

 

I just recently purchased 1 of these as it allows you to mobile and save your back

scissor lifts at harbor freight are like $1000ish...

 

Wow nice, do you have one?

 

Man I really want one of these but damn they are pricey!

 

I have a couple different stools from Snap-On that I use.

 

I have the 89.00 one. It's ok but it could be better with five wheels instead of four on a concrete floor...Just my 2cents...:shrug:

 

I have the same one that was on sale at Sears. (Bought mine at Crappy Tire). It is great for everything except for wheels. What I also like is that I keep my spur and nail brush on the tray at hte bottom for cleaning the pads.
For the wheels, i use a plastic one that came wiht a writing desk for the kids that they no longer use.

 

I got my stool at wal-mart for $20. Its pneumatic. It gets down pretty low. My partner at work use to make fun of me for using it until he used it on his big ass F-150 ext cab. He never joked about it after that.

Cannot beat that for $30!

no, but they are supposed to make life much easier not only on exteriors but interiors also

 

I use a 24x24 piece of soft foam. I can kneel on it for long periods of time without any problem. It allows me to get to the lower panels without having to bend over.
