Mechanics creeper

[Roughbird72]

The creeper i've been using for 20 years needs to be replaced.
I'm wondering what on the market is the best bang for the buck & what some of you use.

I've been using this Cheap one today It works pretty good. I'm not sure where Trades Pro is from tho.

DON'T get the red plastic one from Harbor Freight. I have one like that Trades Pro. Metal frame,adjustable head rest. I think mine came the 2 1/2 ton jack/jack stands I bought at Walmart years ago. Can't seem to find any wooden ones like the old ones.

lol... well, i had better build a bigger garage or pole barn first and my budget won't allow for that.

I've got this question as well.. But I need one for a 6' 10" 285lb person. I've tried "The Bone" and it's hybrids and they don't fit.

Just get a big sturdy piece of cardboard. Best creeper ever

Watching this thread. Bought a 20 year old creeper 20 years ago for $20. Could even be from the 60's. Gives splinters and the head rest falls off. Also has the variable wheels or whatever they are called. Gets jammed easy in pavement cracks. I'd like to get a good one - not the top but good. Are the wheels pictured on the black one the standard now?

Uh oh, gotta be wealthy to afford a creeper.

I have had a old oak wood 6 steel wheel creeper for at least 30 yrs, still going strong.

Now that's funny! I've gotten into some hellacious predickaments with most body parts but "upper inner arm meat" Ffffwoooa!

My wood creeper is 45 years old, still use it occasionally.

Back in the day I used to pull on the overalls and use the cardboard box. I know - for most of us those days are gone......

I rarely use a creeper, for this reason....tightening a bolt and the creeper starts moving. I cant stand it.

No, but years ago when my hair was long i got it caught up in one of the casters.

I liked mine too, until the bottom started dragging the ground. The plastic was cracked at the middle caster. They are hollow plastic shells.If the were solid they would probably last as long as the old wooden ones. It was nice to have the recesses for your arms though.

I have the original name brand "creeper" its made out of wood and has a picture of This cool looking caterpillar with shades on, my dad got it at K-Mart in the 80's... yes Made in USA

Buy a piece of Masonite at Home Dumpy or Slowes. Smooth as glass to slide on!

I like cardboard myself. Creepers never roll the direction you need to go and will move as soon as you're torquing on a bolt.
