Hands On with the Vyper Chair - The Ultimate Detailing Chair? 

Yep...

Well said. All of the other chairs are junk. This is what it costs to make something in low volume with quality components. Building something the way it needs to be for what it costs and adding a margin to allow the business to survive is what I prefer.

Problem with them is that they hardly ever last. This will last forever.

@@jeffc6832 never had one fail. Must be a fatty problem. 100% rather have a piston, even if it only lasts a few years.

I'm having a fab buddy make me one similar to this but with a pneumatic. He also priced me at under half of what these things cost and he's considered expensive lol

Yea but this method is smarter in regards to longevity. I was on the fence about it at first but I’m glad mine has it. It won’t crap out like all my pneumatic chairs in the garage 🤷‍♂️

I have two at least 35 yr old screw drive stools one short & one taller that function just fine because no pneumatic's to go out. IMO this is the preferred stool height adjustment method for longevity. I'm looking at getting one of the Elevate Max Models to replace my taller one as it doesn't have wheels or wheel inserts & only 4 legs. I will keep my smaller old one because it works perfectly for doing dirty stuff, i.e. painting, where I wouldn't want to get an expensive chair dirty & it is also a much smaller footprint I added 4" wheels to replace the1.5" on it. However, I certainly am looking forward to the Elevate max to use more as a desk & sitting chair in my garage.

Don’t wish make it happen brother! You probably have $500 worth of stuff that you could sell to get your chair. I recently sold some of my sneaker collection that was collecting dust in a dark closet and used the proceeds to have my garage floor professionally epoxied. I hope you get it one soon.

"picky" is the difference between a good product and a stellar one. I agree with everything you said. I think the size is ok but the rest, spot on. I also think that tool tray needs some redesign to bring it in from the edge some or some sort of edging to make it safer.

In about a month or so.

Thank you.

Yeah, I want a smaller one too.

@@ObsessedGarage I feel like something in the +\-18" range would be better for detailing or those of us with limited space.

Yep that might work. 18” base and 3” casters. A seat that we can put are company logo on and hyd. cylinder. Come on Matt get one built you have the resources. 😀👍

Anyone can be a car washer. Not everyone gets one of these. That's why I like it.

Professional derailer.....I would have skipped law school if I only had known of this profession before....sounds exciting

@@fischputza aye, fat fingers on my phone

@@fischputza law $chool is a joke

second chair

You can put Forgelines and R888’s on a Hyundai, but it’s still going to be a Hyundai. You’ll have to keep installing the wheels over and over on each new HF chair that you buy when they eventually break.

@@VyperIndustrial I am not saying for a second, that the build quality on the HF chair, or any HF tool is as good as this one. A year in, and the stool I have is still working, because it is a stool. Unfortunately for the use I need, this is not going make my life easier. I am willing to pay $400 for something that gives me value, and does what I need it to do. Just because it is built like a tank doesn't mean it is going to fit everyone's needs. I love this channel for that reason. Matt is awesome at finding, and curating things that do just that. Plus as shown in this video, he is as critical as anyone on the tools he tests. He will be the first to tell you, that if it doesn't work for you, don't buy it. He doesn't give a crap. Comparing a stool to a car is also kind of a false equivalence.

I don't think so.

@@ObsessedGarage any plans to find one in the future?

They'll be more than that most likely. If you go to the Vyper chair website, they are much more than $300 straight from Vyper

“It’s something that makes my life easier maybe it could help you..oh btw $300 plus tax and no free shipping”

@@anthony3953 buy once, cry once. I've been through all the cheap stools that don't last and have easily spent more than one of these.

I guess i will stick with my Griots, $100 and free shipping. At least can hold my beer

@Alexlol Yeah and it will last forever unlike the cheap ones.

The base isn’t big at all, it just looks big in comparison to the crappy chairs. I use mine almost solely for detailing and it’s perfect

You can get it without it.

@@jeffc6832 I'm in MN too, buy it and let me test it out lol.

Donald Trump approves the fact that's it's made in the USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

not everyone has such short attention span.

@@JohnVanderbeck Neuroscience! I recommend you read why a TED talk for example is 18 minutes long

You must be new here

There is zero chance of having success in life when using terms like "overpriced" in your vocabulary.

This is what it costs to make a quality product in the USA. I'm sure they are making a decent margin, but that is what businesses are for...to make money. Could it be built cheaper in China? Sure, but the quality wouldn't be there and the people making it would be severely underpaid and not treated as well.

Why do you think it’s SEVERELY overpriced? I don’t think you understand how much labor and cost go into making something like this.

@@ObsessedGarage I love this channel, but I disagree. There is zero chance to be successful if you aren't able to discern what is a good value and what isn't.

pneumatic is MUCH more practical than this. having the screw adjustable height, while it looks like high quality tolerances just makes NO sense at all and is where all the money went in designing this.

@Tweed Penguin Yep! Sturdy all around. It’s incredible.

It looks big but it’s really not. It’s a dream for detailing. I love mine.

@@jrose7381 Back in mid-January of this year so I’ve been using it for almost 2 months now

That's what she said.

@@thevyperpodcast Good to know. Nice quality chair looking forward to purchasing one from Matt soon. Thank you for replying!

I can think of several reasons why that would be an awful idea

@@thevyperpodcast I used my elevated chair, which is also 23", as a guide and I can't easily roll it between and around the cars in my garage. I'll have to stick with my Craftsman stool until something better rolls around (pun intended.)

I have a giant scar on one that opens up every time I clean or deadlift.
