WEN 73011T 250 lb. Capacity Rolling Mechanic Seat with Onboard Storage

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is great for car detailing or fixing bicycles or anything you need in your garage. I found it a nice option to sit there and clean the tires because it rolls across the driveway very smoothly. It was easy to put together and completed in less than 15 minutes. The wheels are not the highest quality to go rolling across your driveway for races or anything like that, but they do work when moved at slow paces or inside a garage that is very smooth.

Needed wheel replacement on an old one. Cheaper to purchase a new one!

Great little stool

No missing parts – always a good start! Moved “Attach the four casters” [Step (4)] to the top of “Assembling The Rolling Seat” instructions. Have not used the Mechanic Seat yet, but it appears to be a good purchase for a reasonable price.

Very good quality for the price, comfortable, easy to move around on. Installation was very simple and to the point

Every year in the Spring I polish the aluminum wheels on my car and sit on a foot stool I made in high school to do it (I'm now 78). This year I will use a DA polisher to detail the car as well, which means getting down low to do the side panels. That foot stool doesn't roll around well so I went looking for a rolling mechanic's seat and found this WEN 73011T 250 lb. Capacity Rolling Mechanic Seat. There are several similar models on Amazon around the same price point, but this one had two additional features that I liked. One being the vertical supports on the side frames, and the other being the support straps under the seat. I thought these features would make the unit sturdier, and I was right. Once assembled, this thing feels rock solid. Assembly was easy but would have been easier if the instructions had been correct. The instructions say to assemble the two side frames to the lower frame and plastic pan, then add the seat straps and seat to the side frames. Lastly it says to install the caster wheels. Simple. Except that the two back casters cannot be installed if the rest of the unit is assembled. The Allen wrench needed to tighten the casters won't fit. The side frames must now be removed in order to tighten the casters to the lower frame. Tip: Install the casters to the lower frame and pan first, then assemble the side frames and seat. (I had forgotten another reviewer had mentioned that.) Aside from that, everything fits as it should. It's comfortable to sit on and rolls around nicely. Obviously, its meant for smooth floors and it will soon get plenty of use.

This is just the right size for scooting around my tractor for servicing. It's not a soft seat but for the price it's better than squatting. The tool tray is easy to reach and large enough to handle longer tools.

This is the second Wen item that I've purchased and quite frankly it's as good as any of the big name tool companies gear this is a very solid work platform. It is easy to put together and is extremely rugged and the rubber tires are smooth rolling and make for a more comfortable ride on concrete floors.
