    Looks like I have to place an order for a adj. stool

    None of the local and national stores including Harbor Freight, has a working stool, so I will be looking at Amazon.
    What would you order?

    I ordered the one from Autopia. Really like it because it rolls over pavers very easily.

    If I were going to do another one this is the one I’d try. The fact that the seat is curved makes it so my butt wouldn’t slip off.

    I think my only issue with it is the lacking of height adjustability.

    Huh, I`m surprised the Harbor Freight one isn`t available.

    It`s kinda funny how little I use mine (one I got from the old Imparts catalog in the `80s), but if I`m not just kneeling down I always end up just using a creeper instead..so much so that I now have three of them so I don`t have to carry one around the bay so often.

    HF has one with tires that look like snow thrower tires. I needed one that is adj. up & down and HF is not. When I am finished with the tires & wheels my back is just killing me.

    The one I saw in their catalog was just like the one in the Autopia store link, although I didn`t count its casters. Pneumatic up/down, circular seat pad..just like the one I got from Imparts.

    The one I bought at Harbor Freight was nothing like what you describe and I didn`t see anything in the store like that either. Mine looks exactly like the autopia ad down to the exact same colors and it is height adjustable.

    If you look in their online catalog it`s listed as the "Pittsburg Automotive Pneumatic Adjustable Rolling Stool". A really long name for such a simple object...

    Yeah, that`s the one I was thinking of too, presumably a typical Pittsburgh/Central offering from HF; sometimes they`re perfectly OK, and this item may well be since Desertnate seems happy with his.

    Exactly, Not sure why OP says HF doesnt have one. I bought mine like a year ago. I replaced the cushion part with my own circle of wood and padding and vinyl wrapping.

    I wouldn`t mind finding something that is more comfortable than the Craftsman style that I`ve been using for a decade now. The HF version seems to have even less cushion.
