If you have kids around the “right” age, you’d better hide the wrist saver – it’s a Wolverine starter kit.  (All you need are some yellow tights black leathers.)  Two of these tools strapped to the wrists of a 9 year old could spell doom to your living room drapes.  Wolverine aside, though, it’s an interesting new take on an old tool.

The seat pan itself is contoured — just like a farm tractor seat — and is adjustable to add still more comfort.  Before of all, the curved, rocking base provides a full range of forward and side motion so you can move comfortably in any direction to plant or weed while sitting or kneeling.
