Of course, we’re all about building your own shop seat. Or having a wife (like Sean does) that’s cool enough to buy you your own custom Toolmonger shop stool. But if you just want a quick, cheap place to sit, Northern Tool is currently offering their $50 (overpriced) shop chair for (a quite reasonable) $36.
It’s a “double ring” stool, which means you can rest your feet either on the bottom ring or pull ‘em up to the top ring to make a lap to work on. Like an office chair, it spins and you can pneumatically raise it from 27″ to as high as 32″. One drawback: You’ll have to put up with the Northern Tool ad on the seat. But hey, you won’t see it ’cause you’ll be sitting on it, right?
