Do any of you guys that have been doing serious wrenching for a while have a shop stool that you can perch on most of a day and not kill your back? I've got 3 or 4 of those adjustable round top and non adjustable rectangular top stools and man after 3 or 4 hours my back is killing me. None of them have the little short backs, maybe that's what I'm missing?

One of my workers use to use an office chair. He would roll from place to place in it.

That is my best and most comfortable stool - remove arms and back. No sore butt. It has 5 rollers/wheels and is easy to roll (crab-creep) and does not tip over.

Sounds reasonable to me. Let's give it a try.

I totally agree with the office chair, I have 2 of them that I use! Mine didn't have arms but I left the backs on them and they work better for me than creeper chairs by far!

Wish I had a picture of it, but we used to use a weight bench modified with rollers on the bottom of it. It adjusted up and down from the base. The back raised up and down as well. Made it great to work on the underside of an F-18 grin
