Exclamation Biglots detailing stool! $25!

I got my self a rolly stool thing for detailing, really helps the lower back, anyways here it is:





Its not the best at rolling but so far I give it a 8.5/10

the only bad thing is I wish the padding was a little thicker and it rolled a eaiser, but for $25 I should give it a 10 but Im picky.

I hope others can get to biglots and pick one of these up! WELL worth it!

and this is just cause I like it

Re: Biglots detailing stool! $25!

I have one from Sears and love it. Rolls well and the padding is good. Not swure how much it was, it was a housewarming (garagewarming?) gift.

Re: Biglots detailing stool! $25!

As a Tortoise of Galapagos proportions (cough), let me say that the cheaper creeper stools are awesome IF you're not carrying a lot a mass. Me, I have my own gravity well.

After breaking three of the cheaper seats (weld failed, seat broke, wheel broke), I sprung for a pricey one from Sears, which has held up for several years now. I've had to replace the wheels once (the OEM wheels don't hold up long on rough asphalt), but other than that, all good.

If you're "Cartman-esque" like me, spend a little more on something heavy duty; IME, it'll save you some $$$ in the long run.

Re: Biglots detailing stool! $25!

"Cartman-esque".......classic!!!

I bought one from Kragen two years again when I started detailing and the weld on the seat just let go a couple weeks ago. I had already beefed up the wheels with bigger 3" casters and it rolls great. Went and bought another one (they actually had one in the clearance area...one of the wheels was missing) for $15 and did some swapping out and it works great!!

I just cleaned out both Arlington Big Lots of NASCAR Ultra Finish Tire Shine. Real sleeper of a product.

Phhhhhbbbbbt. Light weight. How do you get a handle like "BigAl" at 160 lbs? You're more like "MediumAl".

I also discovered the hard way that "supports 300 lbs." and "survives regular abuse by 300 lbs." don't mean the same thing.

This is the one from Sears that I ended up with:

Re: Biglots detailing stool! $25!

I use the Racatac stool. It gets you much lower and puts your back in a nicer position.
