A 25 minute video about a stool. Im 100% here for it.

I saw these many months ago and while I was intrigued, I balked at the price. My wife decided to sneak one in as a Christmas present this year. This is hands-down the most solidly built, rugged chair/stool that I've ever seen. And comfortable too! If you're on the fence because of the price, I say go for it. You'll never have to buy another one.

Best chair on the market for any garage or shop. Also looks a ton better if you build it correctly and have the braces facing the correct way.

According to the viper web page, you installed the bracers under the steel ring the opposite way, of course, to each his own.

The ACME thread didn't help the Coyote much in his quest for the Road Runner... BEEP-BEEP!

I built mine maybe a year ago, what a nice way to sit, I chose red wheels, blue frame, and black cushion. It's fun to roll around the shop on one of these.

Worth every penny!

That's a nice looking stool!

I am 95% ready to order one. Still kicking around color and lift options. Looks to me they thought of everything as they were designing this chair. USA made means something. I still have SnapOn wenches I purchased 44 years ago. My pocket knives are $300-$400 easy if you want a good one. This chair is a deal if you look at the big picture. This is just my opinion.

Nice video, thanks!

Make sure you have a good day and stay safe out there

I bought a Vyper chair a few months back. They were having a $50 off sale. Next day after my purchase the sale dropped to $100 pisst me off. The chair showed up weeks later. To be truthful once I got it I was very Impressed with the quality. You do get what you pay for. This is a one and done for life shop seat. It is the Snap-On/Mac/Matco of seats. Not for Everyone's budget and for the cash I understand how some feel but I think many complaining about the price probably blow money in other places and won't get the same return on investment.

I think the bottom curved steel braces are supposed to be installed so they curve inwards

Great video! I was ready to buy 6, and then... yes I was one of those with my mouth wide open and my jaw on the Floor! If they ever have a 60% off sale, I'll buy!

Nice, but YIKES! It sounded like I broke my jaw when it hit the floor... Being a welder, you gave me a few things to consider when I get around to fabricating my own, like the hub design... Probably go with a wider width on the casters for potential cracks in concrete, or asphalt.

you were right, my jaw did drop when you said $600 but.....you get what you pay for in this case...once you buy it and see how it works, you won't care that it cost that much especially when it is still around in 10 yrs and still looking good....i wonder if they have it with a tray in the bottom to hold tools and parts

People who complain about the cost don’t realize a good office chair costs between $600 to $1000 , just as you can buy a cheap office chair for $100. If you’re going to sit in a chair that’s for your occupation, you’ll rue the day when you choose the lesser quality, and your back will thank you for the extra dollars spent.

We finally got one in, don’t know who will get to use it though! Very expensive!😢

OK, at 10:00, why are the support arcs being placed in the wrong orientation? The pictures clearly show them concave curve out, creating a scalloped effect. And it is obvious why this is needed when the wrongly completed assembly is shown a couple of minutes later. That ring of sharp-edged metal below the stainless steel foot rest ring makes my ankles hurt just looking at it... Just looked at the comments, Shop Tool Reviews says that they fit either way (true) so we opted to orient them the 'wrong' way. And just why on earth would you do that? Is there some advantage? Because it sure looks like there is a strong disadvantage.

Was it just me or did those small bolts drive you all crazy too. I thought they were going to start flying off that table

Sure vyper take my money for a great product!

Looks like the powder coated brackets @ 10:04 should be facing inward. Not sure if it makes a difference...

I need 2 of each 😶

Look at the instruction sheet. You put the braces in backwards. :) Other than that....great lookin' shop chair!

For the price, which is over $500.00, this better be a family heirloom.

If they get these down to $300 with the quick height adjustment and tool tray, they'll have my business. I love high quality stuff, but I can't think of a single time where I had to pay 10x the price to get high quality. As someone with a detailing business on the side, here are examples where I went with the highest quality over "good enough", and the cost increase that was associated with each: Dual Action Polisher - $465 Rupes vs $170 alternative (2.7x) Pressure Washer - $1,100 Kranzle vs $250 alternative (4.4x) Pressure Washer Hose Reel - $280 Cox vs $80 alternative (3.5x) Paint Thickness Gauge - $695 Defelsko vs $190 alternative (3.7x) Impact Wrench - $370 Milwaukee vs $190 alternative (1.9x) Scissor Lift - $9,900 Nussbaum vs $5,800 alternative (1.7x) Air Compressor - $440 California Air Tools vs $150 alternative (2.9x) and then there's... Rolling Stool - $605 Vyper Robust Steel w/ quick height adjustment & tool tray vs $60 alternative (10x) The $60 alternative is the Craftsman Work Seat. I agree that the Harbor Freight stool in this video is complete junk, but the Craftsman has a stable, square base and very thick padding that gets the job done. I'd be more than happy to upgrade someday though

You installed those curved/boomerangs the wrong way, it's supposed be to facing inward and not form a circle. lol

My little red one has lasted 2 years.

I'm sure this is a seat for life but $600 is a bit outrageous.

I want mine made in China .love Chinese products .

I don't think the comment around 20 minute is fair. Will you guys compare $50 shirt with $600 shirt? I will never expect $50 shirt will use the same quality fabric, the same fit, the same level skilled seamstress etc etc. as $600 shirt. It only make sense if you compare $600 shirt with the shirt around that range, say $500.

Those are some pretty crappy looking nuts and bolts for a $600 chair. I would expect SS, or at least nickel plate. I would like to have seen you dive into some front end suspension work using the chair. You always get a thumbs up because you are fun to watch.

I really can’t respect a company that removes or blocks comments or posts of people who aren’t praising their product and are sharing their own personal experiences with said product. Think it’s only fair that everyone is able to share knowledge even if it negatively affect sales.

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽

I'll definitely need to sit down after the assembly🪑. Then proceed to put together my rocket engine which may prove to be much simpler...🚀⚙️

Good video. You need to buy a better mic. Audio is harsh.

I’ll stay with my Snap on

You're wearing gloves to put nice clean parts together?

I'll admit it's a nice shop stool but I just can't justify the $600 price tag for a shop stool. I would rather have one of those chairs that gamers use at least that chair has more support in the butt,back and even arm rest. Come think of some even have cup holders and speakers.

Buy? More like invest in

You can always tell the stupid prices by how hard the sales pitches are...if you have the money...great, for the other 95% of us Amazon will have to do...

I’m a multimillionaire with a house at the beach in Los Angeles and a ranch in Montana… No way I’m spending $600 on a garage stool…

25 min in to hear $600 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

Yeah, IF you can afford a $500 min stool.

Skip to the 20 minute mark to avoid 5 minutes of fluff, 10 minutes of unboxing crap, and 5 minutes of assembly.

Bottom of seat looks too cheap

600$ I could fab up 1 for 150$ and most of that is for the casters 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳🤣

Not for the price come on man you and I know it ain’t worth the price but hey when money not and object then I guess so!

Nope

So how about those "expensive industrial casters" @23:30 that are supposedly so much better that what you could buy at Harbor Fright? Well, it took about 5 minutes to look up "SCC" casters and find that these are assembled and sold by Service Caster Company (SCC). The photo of their light-industrial 4 inch swivel caster with 1/2 inch hole matches these casters exactly. And the cost of these premium casters? Would you believe $11.68 ea in black urethane (SCC-BH20S414-PPUB-BLK)? Oh, but these have RED polyurethane, so what about that? Yeah, colors (red, blue, grey, and even purple) are the same $11.68. And that's per each. So imagine the discount you would receive if you bought hundreds or thousands at a time. So not exactly casters that alone would cost you $100 or more, as Shop Tool Reviews would have us believe. Oh and how about Made in USA? Well not exactly. The casters are assembled in USA from "global" sourced components. Does all this really matter? Well, it kind of does when you consider how hard Shop Tool Reviews worked to justify the premium price for the "all made in the USA" premium product. I guess it comes down to the old adage, Caveat emptor.
