What roller seat do you guys use in your garage? I had a harbor freight but it's falling apart, the wheels just bust right off
 
Nope. It's held up well. I'm 240-250 give or take.
I appreciate your input. I'm going to order that seat, as I could use the extra space.

The problem with Harbor Freight seat, is that the bolts don't catch enough threads on the caster rollers.. they're barely hanging on for Life. Roll around on it and boom, just strips out and hits the floor.
 
I have a convertible creeper /Z chair. Super solid and it gives me the benefit of having a creeper which I’ve never justified before. I’m at tree hundo and it rolls pretty smooth. The only down side I have to it is you don’t get the tool tray underneath like you do in a standard stool.

I have had my craftsmans dir 20+ years.
I wonder what good this post does. He's looking to buy a new seat. And everyone on this forum knows that the craftsman seat you posted about is going to be better made then a seat made and sold today. So unless your selling your seat, it's irrelevant how good of a seat it is.
 
Get this - I got a phone call from Harbor Freight today. They are sending me a new seat for free! They caught me off guard, I really did not expect that. Two thumbs up to Harbor Freight!

If the next chair fails, then I'll Step Up to either the drawer one or the Craftsman one that you guys mentioned.
 
Cheap HF seat, with custom struts. Been using it for close to 20 years, including the time I was 400 lbs. No issues at all....

I have the same one with the exact same busted tray option, lol. It’s been tossed, pushed, knocked around for years, still works great.
 
I have the craftsman version of that one as well...probably from the 90s...added an all thread to reinforce the tray.
