Just bought a new one for $69.99 shipped. It's rated at 400lbs and is 1" off the floor. Anyone else have one of these? Feedback?

JoetheMobster · 01-11-2010, 01:32 AM

that's neat looking! My creeper's not as fancy, it's a plank of wood with some casters on it.

Jerry Jones · 01-11-2010, 01:34 AM

That is a cool looking creep

I like the looks of that,with the amount of 19 bucks specials I have broken that thing may be just the ticket.........Since I am a full figured gent.

TennesseeZ · 01-11-2010, 09:29 PM

Well It took me a while to pull the trigger on one. I'm a big boy myself.

No doubt I'll leave my feedback on it. Summit sells them. The price varies a bit but $100.00+ s/h seems to be the norm. I had to jump on ut when I found it. It's brand new off Ebay. Not sure if the seller lists them regularly or not though.

Damn sweet looking creeper I like it! I just lay on the ground lol

I've got one. If I remember right, I got it at Northern Tool. What's neat about it is it will roll easily over a air hose or electrical cord. The only thing I don't like is the wide stance. If you need to get close to a tire it's a hassle. But this thing rolls so easily it's crazy. Be careful the first time you sit on it or you're going for an unexpected ride. It rolls so easy that you have to brace yourself with a foot under one of the wheels if you want to torque on a wrench hard.

Sounds like I'll need to practice using it. I'm not hardly nimble enough to get a foot under a wheel first. I considered its wide stance also. Due to personal girth restrictions the tires should not be a problem since Ill have to have my vehicles in the air to get under them. I aleady know that I would want an adjustable head rest, but it's an upgrade for me anyway. Thanks for the review.

I got one rolls nice, But I still can't get under my truck. I guess I need to buy a jack next

i'm much like OJOE in that i use sheets of cardboard. when i finish i just pull the board out with all my tools on it (and it's cheap "free"). i have creepers, but i never use them anymore. i bought the "bone" years back and it has never been used except for my sons riding though the shop on it when they were younger. been hanging in the same place for about 5 years.

I do too in the summer time. But when that concrete floor gets ice cold in the winter, that creeper feels mighty nice
