This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the people behind the work with something built for them. Grind is a limited edition release created to celebrate the people who keep America moving. Inspired by the builders, tradesmen, and hardworking Americans, Grind combines premium craftsmanship with rugged design.
Available in two colorways, the satin clear powder coat keeps the steel and welds visible, putting the fabrication and craftsmanship on display, while the orange finish offers a hardworking aesthetic. Both feature a distressed brown seat and custom limited edition Grind badge. Built to work as hard as you do.
Satin Clear Finish Disclaimer: The satin clear powdercoat finish intentionally leaves the steels, welds, and manufacturing marks visible. Variations in color, texture, and surface character are inherent to the fabrication process and make each Grind chair unique. These are not defects, but a reflection of the craftsmanship behind every chair.
⏱ Presale ends September 13th at 11:59:59 PM PST.

If something fails, give us a call (920) 301-3822 or email sales@vyperindustrial.com and a real person at our Green Bay headquarters picks up. Someone that knows the products and can help you along the way. We stand behind every shop chair we ship.
Took a bit to assemble it, but when you see quality you’ll know why! Bought it for my 84-year-old father who still runs his whole farm, donkey, feet and all ha ha. He said he took a tumble two or three times in his old chair. But he seen this one online and was super happy when we were done assembling it! Definitely worth the money!
Shipping was fast with no damage. Product is great quality and nice looking. One petty issue is the backrest was not wrapped and had a lot of styrofoam pellets stuck to it and was a bit difficult to clean off. Compared to some other stools i think is overpriced
I am a retired precision machinist of 35 years. Also a machine builder. So, I know quality when I see it. This VYPER chair I bought is the very best item I have purchased since my Harley Electra glide, well done to all of you in VYPER company. Your quality is top notch. Thank you from Mark!
Instructions are very poor. The pictures are not adequately labeled to understand by somebody who is less than a machinist. More wrenches are required than our call for in the instructions. All in all not impossible to assemble, but could save a lot of time with better instructions.
I Love the chair I received.
I made a mistake in not ordering the Chair that raise to the higher position. 🤔☹️
I will use it anyway because I cannot invest that much again to get the one I really wanted.
Nothing against the Chair I received.
Like I said it is everything you said it was It is the best build Chair I have ever seen.
The assembly was simple and the directions were well displayed.
Love it. ❤️❤️
I’d send a pic but there was a delay on my accessory tool tray so it’s not completely assembled yet. I absolutely love the chair it’s top quality bar none. It’s an industrial piece of art I am totally satisfied!
I'm an 81 year old male, 6-0, 200 pounds in fairly good physical shape, except for some back problems. Putting air in my truck's tires required more bending than I would have liked and was in pain with some loss of mobility for the next three days.
I tried three cheaper shop stools but none of them were very substantial. I decided to give Vyper a chance and ordered the Robust Steel Max (Ez -Lift).
The package the ROBUST STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT) was in showed up in a reasonable time. I found that all the parts were there, checking it against the parts list in the instructions. There are lots of bolts and nuts, different sizes, each size comes in its own bag. Unfortunately, none of them have a description in the instructions but the diagrams in the instructions list the part numbers of everything, including the nuts and bolts, that correspond with the part numbers on each bag; the description is on the bag along with the part numbers. I found watching the assembly video a great guide in what size nuts/bolts are being used to connect what together. This would be easier to deal with if the instructions used a LARGER font so a magnifying glass hadn't been needed.
Assembly took around an hour. Nothing was difficult although tightening the nuts and bolts sometimes took a bit more force than I thought they would.
I called Vyper twice and spoke to Ryan and Stephanie, both knowledgeable, very pleasant and extremely helpful. They took as much time as was needed and didn't try to rush to get to the next call as a lot of customer service people tend to do.
The day after assembly was completed, I needed to put air in one of my cars. I sat on the chair, easily locked the two locking wheels (I was on a driveway with a moderate incline), put air into the tires as needed, easily released the locks on the wheels and easily rolled to the next tire until all four had the correct amount of air. What a difference using my new Vyper made! The seat went up and down effortlessly and the wheels moved smoothly and bumped over the air hose with no problem. Best of all, no back pain when I was done.
Great chair. I struggled with which height to buy and almost bought one of each sine there was a significant savings if you bought both together. I made a mistake when I only bought one. I should have grabbed them both.
Packaging was flawless. All parts individually packaged for easy identification during assembly. Only thing I would change is to package the seat back better. If you were to be careless with a box cutter you could accidentally cut the seat back as it was loose in the box up near the top of the box. Glad I carefully used a box cutter in case this was the case which it was.
Fedx delivers it, took about 45 minutes to put together, wow this thing looks really well made, looks great in the red, Roll TIDE! Anyway got it together and rolling around and working on my zero turn, lot’s better than my old chair! Way better!! Will probably get picked first when I kick the bucket 😂
Would like to see a wider backrest but all and all just a great chair ❤️
What a fantastic quality shop chair! It completely exceeded my expectations. From the excellent cushions down to the grade 8 hardware, this thing is stout. It is the finest shop chair I’ve ever had the privilege of plopping me ars on. It’s the kind of equipment that will be passed to my son when I’m gone and he will be plopping his ars on. Bravo Vyper and thank you for your excellence!
I purchased the Ultimate EZ Lift Package with the taller chair & shorter chair. Very happy with both, I do like having 5 wheels and the way the bracing is made which makes it very strong and stable. Chairs are too nice to take to the shop, I put them together in the living room, wife said take them to the shop not staying in the house. Lol
Got to admit I did cry once when I first purchased them but after I started receiving all the emails letting me know they received the order, now packing one of them, now packing the second chair and told me when they would ship and when I would receive it, I started getting excited. They came in 4 different boxes and delivered all the same day. What they say is true “Cry once & Buy once”.
Took a while to talk myself into the purchase but I’m definitely happy I finally did it! Super comfortable and sturdy, looking forward to many years of use.
Best investment I've made in a long time. The quality and workmanship of these chairs are top shelf. Easy to assemble and everything lined up perfectly. I did break a bolt using power tools when the instructions clearly recommended not using them. Lesson learned. I am considering ordering some accessories like the bottom tray adjustable back rest. If they are built anything like the chairs it will be money well spent.
I bought it. Yes, it’s a darned expensive chair, but there is no alternative that offers this level of quality and comfort. It is a welcome addition to my garage.
I purchased the Robust Steel Max DIY bundle and all I can say is wow. Being a woodworker I don't fall into their typical demographic but it feels absolutely amazing during my marathon sanding sessions compared to a typical shop stool.
Went together very easily but, one lower bolt thread on the bottom center seat support stripped out with very little torque.
Very comfortable. But will need to helicoil the stripped out bolt thread.
After researching all the shop chains on the internet I settled on this one as the best choice. Before I bought this one I had one that I tipped over backwards twice. Not fun at 73 or any age. This chair is worth every penny for 3 reasons. First it is totally safe with its wider base and excellent smooth casters. Second it’s highly functional with its lift mechanism and locking casters. Third it’s made in America and I appreciate the ability to support fellow Americans.
not worth the wait or the money, uncomfortable feels like the back is not far enough back, bottom ring is to big and hits my feet. going to try it some more this weekend, but calling Monday to return, hoping your 30 day guarantee is legit...
Love the chair. Great quality. All parts were included. Clear assembly instructions. High quality hardware. No galled bolts or nuts. High quality paint.
Nice chair, but way too expensive for what you get!
The seat area is too small, the backrest is too low, but then they nickel and dime you to get a better chair, which essentially should be that way in the first place given the ridiculous price!
So not impressed at all!
This is a big purchase. What if I'm not satisfied?
Everything you need to know before you upgrade. If these don't answer your questions, please reach out to us at sales@vyperindustrial.com or call us at (920) 301 3822
I already have a shop stool, why should I upgrade?
If you're like us, you've more than likely either tipped over from hitting a crack or experience annoying back / knee pain from an uncomfortable stool.
Vyper Chairs (and our entire product line) were strategically designed to help reduce fatigue while working, help prevent from tipping over while rolling, and provide comfort for long working durations.
Plus, Vyper Chairs are made in America! Check out our top selling chair here to learn more.
What is a Vyper limited edition?
A Vyper limited edition is a one-time small-batch run of an existing product (chair, stool, creeper, or cart) in a named colorway, finish, or collaboration design, for example: Ghoul (glow-in-the-dark), Phantom (color-shift chameleon), Sublime (green), Voodoo, Scorch, Joker, Vein, Tribute (military canvas), and Warrior 2.0 (hot pink).
We also have an existing line of collaborations with Vyper x Realtree® and Vyper x Hendrick Motorsports that are always available.
Each limited edition features unique embroidery, custom badges, exclusive stickers and a specific colorway you won't find in the standard lineup. The underlying build (steel frame, casters, foam, mechanisms, capacity, warranty) is identical to the standard product.
Will sold-out Vyper limited editions ever come back?
Once a Vyper limited edition sells out, it does not restock. That's the point, small batch, no second runs. Buyers who miss a drop have to wait for the next release, which will be a different colorway or collaboration entirely.
There are two different styles of limited editions: time based and quantity based.
Some editions we will run where it’s first come first serve (quantity based). Other times we will run a limited colorway for a certain amount of time (time based). If you miss the cutoff, there’s no going back.
Occasionally we will re-release a previously sold-out edition as a special return (for example, "Scorch, Joker, Volt, Shocker and Viola are back" was a one-time encore drop, called out as a last-chance opportunity). But the default policy is one-and-done. If you see a limited edition in stock and you want it, lock it in.
Are limited edition Vyper chairs different from regular chairs in build quality?
No. The build is identical to the standard product. A limited edition Robust Steel Max is the same Robust Steel Max underneath: same powder-coated steel frame, same 3.5" industrial foam, same lumbar-support backrest, same 400 lb capacity, same 5-caster anti-tip base, same lifetime warranty on the frame.
What changes is the finish: custom powdercoat color, custom embroidery, custom badges, and specific accent colors on hardware and stitching. You're getting the same chair Chip Foose, Jay Leno and Gas Monkey Garage use, just in a finish that won't be made again.
Are limited edition Vyper chairs different from regular chairs in build quality?
The fastest way is signing up for the Vyper email list and following @vyperchair on Instagram and YouTube, limited editions are announced usually 1 to 2 weeks before the drop with the exact date and time. Most drops go live at 9 AM CST on the announced date.
High-demand drops frequently sell out within hours. Customers on the email list get the announcement first, which is the difference between getting the chair and not.
Can I add custom accessories to a limited edition chair and do they ship with the same accessories as the standard model?
Yes. Limited edition chairs are compatible with the full Vyper accessory lineup (armrests, backrests, EZ-Lift, Big Boy attachment, tool trays, footrails, Sidekick). Many limited editions offer matching-color accessories during the drop window; once the drop closes, accessories may only be available in standard colors.
Gear worth your workspace.
Build your dream garage with chairs, carts, creepers and fans that are guaranteed to outlast anything else in your shop.
