As I get older I find that grovelling about on my knees to do various jobs is no longer something I attack with much alacrity. Moreover, lying on my back under the car is a complete no-no as I get vertigo. Two of the most useful bits of kit I have are firstly a recently acquired extra low 3 ton hydraulic jack (especially useful for getting under an MGF) which has a lift capacity of 55cm, and secondly a little rectangular stool on castors, with a tool tray and a drawer for bits. The two together enable me to do jobs such as brakes sitting down rather than kneeling as I can now get the car high enough. Perhaps some higher axle stands are the next project.
The roller stool also makes a nice accessory to the two chairs of contemplation, which when listening to a playlist on the Bluetooth speaker allows me to put my feet up... mine is black, but you get the idea.
