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.
This one?Quote:

I bought this EXACT same stool at Harbor Freight for around $25. If you get ahold of a coupon, you may get it for even less.Quote:

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.Quote:

I think a big buying point on one would be the casters. The cheap ones have terrible casters. Most of this stuff is mail order so you can’t even try them out unfortunately

My adjustable stool was one of the best things I`ve ever bought. I agree having the adjustable height is useful at times. I can see where gearhead is coming from. The curved seat would be nice. I`ve almost slid off of my seat more than once when moving around on it.
I think my only issue with it is the lacking of height adjustability.Quote:

The Traxion model up above looks like a nice option.
Another option is the Mychanic Sidekick Stool. While the height is adjustable, it ISN`T pneumatic. But it`s kind of neat with additional features.
