Sturdy No-Tip Shop Chairs
Chris Rusch originally owned a metal shaping company, and much of his time was spent working in garages while sitting on cheap, uncomfortable stools. He started experiencing knee and back pain and knew there had to be a better design. The family made a list of all the pain points of those chairs and put their engineering skills to work designing a superior alternative, the first Vyper chair.
Today, Vyper sells six chair styles made in Green Bay, Wis., from high-quality materials. All seats measure 14 in. in diameter and 4 in. in thickness. Most models are height adjustable from 15 in. to 32 in., depending on the model. You can also swap out the legs in a Vyper chair to better accommodate your workstation.
Chairs vary in price, from the Low-Pro ($425) backless shop stool with a dual-sided tool tray to the Elevated Steel Max ($625), a seat for higher workstations.
The Robust Steel Max ($595) remains their most popular option. It’s designed to reduce back pain and allows for freedom of leg movement. This increases blood flow and lowers the risk of knee pain. The chair can be fitted with the Vyper swivel attachment that utilizes an Acme rod height adjustment, allowing you to twist to go up or down. The chairs feature 4-in. industrial-grade wheels, and the durable foam seat provides comfort for extended sitting. A stainless-steel foot rail helps with stability and encourages better posture. The yellow zinc-plated hardware is corrosion-proof for durability. It’s height adjustable from 15 in. to 24 in. and has a 400 lb. weight capacity.
