There are many step stools out in the market today. But do you know which
among those works for you safely? They have their promises of quality but you cannot tell unless you test it yourself.
I work in a general surgeons office. We have a smaller step and our doctor wanted a larger step for the unsure footed and larger patients. One of our patients decided to find us a larger step. He emailed me the website and I showed the doctor hence the order.

This is the exact same thing we keep hearing from nurses that work in operating rooms, "we're using a flimsy Rubbermaid step stool and it's dangerous". The 500 pound rating of all Shure-Steps with it's "No Tip, No Slip" design makes it the best new step stool to use in any hospital or surgery center.

After surgery you're in your hospital room by yourself. You need to go to the bathroom...really bad and you know trying to get into your hospital bed can be a challenge. You're weak from surgery and a little dopey, so your bed presents a challenge...whether getting in or out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOlBu8Z0tqs
I was trying to find my husband a birthday present and had noticed that he was using wood or tires or whatever was handy to reach over the top of his race cars and trucks to work on them. I thought " that's not quite safe" so I searched the internet for "Mechanic step" and your website popped up. It looked exactly like what I was looking for. I have been to several different stores and did not find exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully everything on your site has said this step is will work for him.

Note from the editor:
I love hearing stories like this because I'm a mechanic by trade. In 1992 I fell off a plastic milk crate while tuning up a 4-wheel drive truck. That's when the light bulb went off in my mind about trying to design a step stool that wouldn’t tip or slip while you’re standing on it trying to lean over the fender on a truck. Still have the very first Shure-Step we ever made 12 years ago like the one Marsha ordered. Oh, and we are still using that very same step today in our auto repair shop.
The Shure-Steps aren’t just for working on trucks and cars; they work well for aircraft passengers and mechanics too!

This video shows how a mechanic working on a 3/4 ton truck using a sturdy step stool can get his work done safely. Even if the truck is tall and the mechanic is not. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc2LFBpDpAM
