Review on πŸ’Ί Black and Red Pro-Lift C-3001 Pneumatic Chair with 300 lbs Weight Capacity by Jonathan Partridge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Need better assembly instructions, otherwise everything is fine. Ideal for detailing your car.

This stool saved lives. I have orthopedic issues, arthritis, spinal issues, etc. and bending over can be painful. Of course I wanted the underside of my car to be clean, but there is also some black trim on the bottom edges that needs a different treatment. The treatment to make the black plastic look good is really good, but after you apply it you have to polish it like you polish a car with wax. After doing this once I realized that firstly I hadn't done a very good job and secondly I was going to skip this part soon because it was just causing me too much pain in my shoulder and back. Once assembled, this stool was simply wonderful. I just walk around the car. I can even put a spray can of product and cleaning wipes on the lower shelf. This is practical compared to the all-metal seat. I mean seriously, they don't expect you to sit on it for hours! For half an hour or so it's absolutely gorgeous. My only complaint was with the assembly. He just sits down to put the three parts together, nothing else, no problems or further explanations. Luckily, I was able to name my problem, which was that the seat would not attach no matter how many times I tried to rotate it on the bar, which I thought made sense. Responses were quick from other customers telling me to sit on it and your weight will cause the seat to attach to the bar after which you can also raise and lower it. Since the seat was just balanced on a pole, I had my doubts, and there was a chair nearby in case it came loose and fell to the floor. But the guy who answered was right. I don't know why or how attaching the seat to the bar works, but it definitely worked. I can still land on my back from running around the car too fast, but it's all on my shoulders! knee high or something. The height range is more than sufficient for all my car needs and in terms of functionality it is better than 5 stars! I find that identical looking seats offered by some parts manufacturers cost a hundred dollars or more and the only difference as far as I can see is that the company name is not printed on the seat. UPDATE: That's a blessing. I've been cleaning the house a lot lately, and whenever I've had to "sink" myself to clean, I sit and move on it instead of constantly bending down. The screened-in porch has a brick floor, and I thought it might not be as good to wash the bottom glass, which starts at ground level, but there was no problem. I had to try a little harder with the clean and jerk, but it worked out great. If bending over to brush your back hurts terribly, then this is the best bucks to spend. No more bending over, adjusts to the most comfortable height and lets you brush while seated so your legs can rest too.
