Helping my back while working brakes, wheels, etc, Don't need to bend over as much Options

How many times have you been working on the suspension or wheels on your car and have to put things on the ground and then bend over to pick them up? Well I have a really bad back so I have been looking around for an adjustable tray that I could roll around and adjust up and down.

I couldn't find one that went low enough so I made one.

Here is what I started with:

1) cake pan

2) adjustable seat

Adding 1 and 2 you get

Now I get to use it while doing a brake job on the Durango.

Apply for a copyright and patent then call the pedestal maker and cut a deal.
Nice job. I like it and I bet it is much less cost than the industrial suppliers models that do not go that low. Just dont hit the lever when you have a bunch of small parts sitting on the tray. I actually think I might make one. I have that same Craftsman roller seat. Just couldnt justify the $189 SnapOn was asking for the same seat with just a different name on it.
