C-3001 Pneumatic Chair with 300 lbs Capacity – Black / Red

Perfect to roll under the stairs in my home to shut off water valve, inspect well holding tank and vacuum. Due to TMB (too many birthdays) and bad knee, can no longer crouch down in the low-ceiling space. Should have thought of this a couple years ago. Easy to assemble---hardest part is opening the box. Well made. Thank you!

So over the years I've been detailing my car and most of the time I've used nothing to sit on or a small chair that is upstairs in a closet that I bring down and move back being a huge pain. I read the reviews on this stool and it seemed good enough and cheap enough to buy. One thing I was leery about was one review had issues with it tipping. So far I've used this quite a bit and have had no issues with it tipping. I'm an average size guy 6' 200lbs and don't have problems moving around the garage or car while I'm cleaning it. My garage is small and I leave enough space to get around the front bumper and back I have to hang out or go out of the garage door which means going over the lip buy the door entrance. Still no problem. I'm fairly athletic and just hold one or shift my weight with my legs and move it where I need to. I don't need it to be much higher than the lowest setting. I'm sure that you raise it and heighten your center of gravity it will obviously effect that. But for me this is a great product that helps me better clean my cars with out killing my back or knees. I recently bought some ONR Wash and Wax and I've used it to clean or wash my car without a lot of water and this help tremendously. I don't have tools but the tray below is plenty big and would work well to hold anything small you need. There are five wheels which to me is more stable than the other four wheel stools that I've seen. The wheels roll smooth and again I'm in a nice smooth garage but while I'm cleaning the back bumper I'm rolling around on the more course concrete and they roll fine. Overall I'm pretty happy with this purchase I'm sure it's a must in some professions that work on cars or detail cars on a daily basis. As for occasional need for me it's great and I would highly recommend.

I'd been thinking about getting something like this because I was doing a lot of lower height work/repair activity in the basement. Bending over a lot and stressing my back. This seemed to have good remarks behind it versus others I had looked at here and elsewhere. The cost seemed to be ok for what it was compared to others like it and the number of quality concerns expressed for the other ones. I have used it a few times and it feels strong sitting on it and moving around. The bottom is definitely not flimsy metal and the wheels don't seem to be cheap ones. The seat to piston connection seems to be solid design, but can't say how it will hold up long term and same with piston. I am happy with it so far and would say it is worth a look.

2023 edit: I purchased this in April of 2021, which is almost exactly 2 years ago. Last month the pneumatic mechanism stopped working leaving stool at lowest height. Is still usable , just not as good lacking that feature. While this works well on garage floor, it is not as easy to move it on paved concrete driveway, which has a much rougher texture. Used it primarily with car, but also ended up using it in the kitchen when cleaning lower cabinet doors. Way easier to clean when can get close and not have to bend over constantly. I would still recommend, just be aware that the life may not be very long. Original Review: This stool has been a life saver. I have orthopedic issues, arthritis, spinal problems etc and continuous bending over can be painful. I wanted to keep the bottom of my car clean obviously but there is also black trim around the bottom edges requires a different treatment. The treatment to keep the black plastic looking good, is really good but after you apply it, you have to buff it, much like you would with waxing a car. After doing it once, I realized that first I did a less than good job and secondly that I would soon skip that part because it just made my shoulder and back hurt too much. This stool once assembled has been absolutely wonderful. I just scoot all around the car. I can even put the spray bottle of product and the cleaning cloths on the bottom tray. It is comfortable when compared to an all metal seat. I mean seriously they are not expecting you to be setting on it for hours and hours! For a half hour or so, it is absolutely great. My only complaint was the assembly. It just sit to put the three pieces together, nothing else, no trouble shooting or further explanation provided. Luckily I was able to pose my issue, which was that the seat didn't attach no matter how often I tried to turn it on the pole which I thought made sense. Answers from other customers came quickly telling me to sit on it and your weight would cause the seat to attach to the pole at which point you can raise and lower it also. As the seat was just balanced on the pole, I had my doubts and had a chair near by should it come off drropping me to the floor. But the guy who answered was correct. I don't know why or how that works to attach the seat to the pole but it definitely did. I may still end up on my behind because I have been zipping a bit too fast around the car, but that is all on my shoulders! I would definitely recommend this to mechanics, detailers and anyone else who has to regularly perform a task located at knee height or so. The range of height has been more than adequate for all my car needs and in terms of functionality it is better than 5 stars! I do note that seats which look identical which are offered by some of the detail companies cost a hundred dollars or more and the only difference as far as I can see is that the company name isn't printed across the seat. UPDATE: This is a blessing. I recently did big time house cleaning and everywhere I had to "go low" to clean, I sit and scooted on this rather than continual bending. The screened in porch has brick floor and I thought it might not work as well to clean the lowest glass that starts at floor level, but little issues. I had to put a bit more umph in the push, but worked great. If bending over to clean makes your back hurt like mad, then this is the best $$ you can spend. No more bending, can adjust to the most comfortable level and gives you a chance to clean sitting down so your feet get a break too.

It works really good for a guy with a knee replacement! Plenty of room for tools, nuts, bolts, etc. feels sturdy. I like it!

I purchased the Pro-Lift C-3001 Pneumatic Chair in 2021. I use it to work on bikes and it has been a great chair. My only complaint is the 2.5" wheels get stuck on small items or cracks in garage floor. Once they wore down I replaced them with 3" wheels. Wow, what a difference. Note: I had to buy a set of 6 creeper wheels because no one sells a set of 5. Next project is adding new padding to the seat and I should get another 5 years out of this mechanics chair.

Bought this for my dad. He loves it! He rolls around in garage all day on this. Had storage on bottom area. Great price.

Nice work stool, goes together easy and the wheels work well enough. Has a round tray below the seat which comes in handy. The piston for the seat height works well too.

Excelente muy fuerte

Es buen producto hasta que le das carrilla. El cojín dura poco y tienes que engrasar muy rápido el pistón para que no haga ruidos. Pero es durable y muy resistente. Lo recomiendo.
