Any recommendations on a mechanics stool

[Rannsachair]

Since getting out of hospital I have struggled to stand for long periods and have been using my car creeper/seat to work from when I can. It looks like:

Ideally I want something that will go higher for working on bikes on the hydraulic bench etc. but on casters that wheel me about.

For height adjustment and comfort I was tempted by the dewalt (pricey though): https://www.amazon.co.uk/DEWALT-DXS...a-729791915191&th=1&ref=&adgrpid=103132776874

The Teng is not as high and does not look as comfy: https://www.teng.co.uk/teng-tools-tca06-mechanics-stool.html

The Hilka Pro came out well on https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/product-group-tests/352020/best-mechanics-seats-2020 though height not as good as the dewalt.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

Why not get a cheap office style chair?

Think it will take up too much space and not so easy a stretch to push up against a motorbike to work on it. I did consider it.

Thats more or less what I used one of my sisters old salon swivel chairs I scoot about all over the place. the one i have has the ally wheely frame I made a circular top with a bit of foam then covered it, its perfect. And its adjustable up and down.

I am in the Highlands, so postage is normally extortionate.

I have a Clarke type seat, useful but if theres any thing under the wheels it'll tip you off, I've even taking to sweeping the area before i sit down, can be useful but at times dangerous ..

Draper one is pretty decent, I bought a mega cheap one I use often

As mention yesterday here's my wheely stool and its very stable with the 5 spokes. Best of all it was for free
