Question Deluxe Mechanics Seat on wheels

Anyone got one of these? Or anything similar even?
After a marathon session last weekend that left my hamstrings quivering the next day i think this might be a good idea.

Or this


Naturaly the yanks go for something just a tad bigger and brasher.



Now all this squating down to work on the bike is great exercise i'm sure and hey i'm a superhero so i'm fit enough to take it of course, ahem.
But what i wanna know is how good the wheels on these thigs are and are they really as good as i'm imagining or just get in the way and topple over at the most inconvenient moments??

I need a concrete floor first but I'm working on it,

in the meantime, I lift my bike with an EazyRizer to a stand up work height

great, i get everyone who wants one posting but no one who can help us out by telling us if its any good yet. lol

C'mon somone must have one! Surley.

And dont call me shirley!

I thought kwak would have one to be honest. All that cleaning must kill ya mate.

And Randy i'm sure those things are stable but i just feel a lot safer when the bike has less distance to fall.

Got the first one (well one that's very similar). Works nicely, stable etc and puts you at a good hight for doing most jobs.

Once you've used an eazyrizer you will understand that a bike on an easy rizer is more stable at any height than the bike is on it's sidestand or end stands

I have used (but don't own) on stools like the first 2 pictured you can swivel on the round on better cause the seat swivles without rolling on the castors

but sometimes that's a bit annoying cause the castors roll a bit as you swivel and you end up not moving quite the way you want.

just knowing how the stools I have had a chance to use and creepers work, the 3rd one would be more rugged for a heavier person, but would also take a little more effort to manuver around on

I am a heavier person, so I will save my pennies for # 3, after the concrete floor

Thanks for the replies guys. Interesting stuff and i wish that my local Aldi had one for £12, thats a proper bargain!
Some of the sellers on Ebay are looking fir that much just to cover the postage.
Well i guess i'm gonna try and find myself one with the round height adjustable seat.

Kwak... old tootbrushes save a lot of sore index fingers

Randy, for some reason (well maybe becasue my friend randy in alabama is really atll and really thin) i had you pictured as a skinny type.
I can appreciate those "uk" ones would be rubbish if youre above average weight but there are in between ones too. see here http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=15707991
