So while doing my spark plugs I was standing on a Home Depot bucket. It worked well except for the plugs near the firewall. With me leaning over the engine, the bucket would tend to slide out. At the end, the bucket wasn't even round anymore- it was kind of squished. The more squished it got, the easier it was to slide.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I was thinking of building something to stand on. A step stool. But wider.
