High Quality Creeper Seats

[The Critic]

I am considering these two. Both are around $300:

1) Whiteside #HRSV (supposedly resold by Matco as well):

HRSV – Round Vacuum-Sealed Mechanic’s Seat – Whiteside Manufacturing

2) Vyper Low-Pro:

LOW-PRO

The all-new Low Pro is the ultimate workhorse for the every day garage. DETACHABLE SEAT: Quickly transition from stool to kneeling pad in seconds to reduce aches and pains when working in low settings. Easily attach the seat back to the base when done. NARROW BASE: Ergonomic low profile design...

Pricing is similar. Height adjustment is not a critical feature for me. I just want durability, a large bottom tray for storage and good casters. Padded seat is a plus as well. Both of those options are also US-made, but this isn't a requirement for me.

Any other options out there?

I have a Wen adjustable height that I love. Good padding, good covering and good casters. I know you said that you didn't care about height adjustment but once you have it, you'll appreciate it.

HF sells some casters that make this seat kick ass. Been using one for ...... 15+ years this way. I cannot overstate the difference better casters make.

At some point the "brake" that keeps the hydraulic cylinder from popping up got weak, but since I prefer mine at the lowest height I finally drilled a hole and released the charge

Nah, I want one just for sitting.

Nice to know… Guess it is personal preference. This guy says this one is his favorite.

That made my laugh, I agree with you for the most part.....But doing stuff like Window Regulators....A brake stool/creeper seat is nice to have.

25 bucks can get you a shiny new one. But you got your money’s worth. Maybe you can get that 400 dollar one the OP linked to… It is on sale at 100 dollars off.

I'm afraid you're missing the point......but that's ok!

Personally like your view… And appears you use it every day.

On both of the HF pneumatic roller seats I owned, something caused the Seat Cushion (A) to separate from the Lifting Pole (D) after a few months of use. The seat cushion would become extremely rocky and eventually "break off."

The Escape, Focus, Fusion door latch recalls paid for my Snap On creeper seat. Once the vehicle was in my bay I didn’t get off it. Necessary tools underneath and drug the box of latches with me from one door to the next as I circled.

Picked this one up from Napa a few months back. The seat cushion is removable so you can use it for a kneeling pad. I use it without the bucket. I paid $50 plus tax.

I do door work with the car in the air at a comfortable height. Benefit of having in ground lifts. I do the same with dash work
