How many of you use Foot Stools during your work? - Plumbing Zone

DUNBAR PLUMBING · 01-09-2011, 08:23 PM

I could start a poll.... but,

I got a step stool I use every day, for many reasons. If I'm doing a tub/shower valve replacement, I'll put down a rubber mat and sit on that stool for like 8 hours straight, watching my youtube movies on my iPhone and pulling the snacks out of my pockets and eating them.

At some point the faucet is going in, so, the foot stool works perfect.

Since I'm tall, It's usually all I need to stand on top of (gotta be careful) and reach to the ceiling to do anything plumbing related.

I also use it to raise whatever tools/materials I have closer to where the work is. All that bending over to the floor is not healthy nor good for the back.

My stool

doesn't get used every day, but it sure is handy!

Do you use your stool during the day?

Can't use a ladder, too tall.

I'll post a picture of my stool tomorrow.

A lil' of both I'd say.

I used my ole' faithful tonight getting my snowblower ready for tomorrow. Being 6' 8" you learn to respect the ground, and that it's made for walking on before kneeling.
