Hey Bill, do you have trouble with your knuckles dragging on
the ground?
Every time I've used a step stool or orange crate bout the
time I get down deep into it the stool kicks out from under
me. My tire step with the expanded tread keeps me on solid
footing.
Unless you have access to some cheap tread material Mike, it's
cheaper to just buy one of them steps already made for you.
But each to his own device.
The problem I have is leaning over when handling something
like the intake/exhaust package or worse yet pulling or
setting a head, I leave that up to the cherry picker
now a days.
