creeper storage

[blazsawgras]

no matter where I store my creeper it seems to be in the way. most of the time I lean it against side of tool box. does anybody have better ideas for creeper storage?

 

[NOMAD]

The hooks under by large bench put it flat against the wall.

 

[jdm5]

I use Rubbermaid FastTrack, and hang it on their hooks.

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

How about some kind of small hooks on the underside of the creeper and hang it in the side of your roll around box?

Wife usually keeps me next to her in bed, but sometimes I'm overly creepy and I have to sleep on the couch.








Come on.......someone had to do it

 

[PFSard]

It depends on the setup in your work area and how frequently you use it, but I hang mine from the ceiling on the side of a bracket/rail setup I use for storing lengths of wood, pipes, etc.

Mine rolls under my tool box.

 

[killahog]

I hang mine from a shelve unit. I stepped on it a few weeks ago and took a long dance across the Garage and almost fell on my ***

 

[BearsFan315]

I put 2 Hooks in the wall and hang mine up when not in use.

works great for me... I also hang it it higher up on the wall so i can store things under it as well.

also how i store my spare dollies, they hide in the corner next to my clamps !!

I'd say it's time to build a bigger garage.

Snap on sells a bracket that hangs on the lip of the box, easy to copy.

 

[Tink]

My box has to be a few inches away from the wall so the top can be opened fully so I just lean the creeper against the wall behind it.

Mine rolls under my tool box.

me too.

 

[crewchief888]

mine used to hang on the wall in the garage, then i put up a huge grinder storage cabinet where it was hanging..


off the top of my head i cant remember where it's at right now...

Under my car that's been on jackstands for 4 years.

 

[MG11068]

I hang mine on a hook.

 

[Bronson]

In the dead space behind the Hydraulic press.

 

[Scud67]

I just have mine on 2 ladder hooks on the wall - it sits above the concrete foundation "shelf" so it is out of the way....

 

[Joe Reed]

All 3 of mine are in the attic because I seldom used them. I usually just throw a large piece of corrugated cardboard on the floor instead...

 

[188slo50]

Under the box.

 

[Jagmandave]

I found a good spot for mine, next to the shop press, in a corner......

Just make a bracket to hold it on your box.

 

[Boyd]

Mine fits under my bench as if it were made to do so...

 

[JRC3]

I bought a creeper like 6 years ago (Way before I bought a mid-lift)...I think I used it once. LOL


It's in this pic somewhere...

Can you find it? (It's red)

 

[Slonaker]

I have the red plastic one from HF. I have it hanging on the wall from a small shelf bracket. It pokes through the handle hole at the top of the creeper. I screwed a small nut and bolt through the hole at the end of the bracket to make sure it doesn't slide off. It was all stuff that was laying within reach when I decided it should hang from the wall...

Two eye hooks and a bungee cord does the trick for me.

 

[BearsFan315]

JRC3...

nice one, it is in the back against the wall behind the Bar stool, Looks like the one I have from HF

 

[LS6 Tommy]

Under my car that's been on jackstands for 4 years.

X2. Under the car that's been on jack stands for 13 (!) years, next to the knock down engine crane...

It sure looks that way.

Yep, HF. I was there with a buddy one day and he says something like, "Why don't you have one of these?"

 

[Jagmandave]

Yeah, I've had mine for almost 50 years now, but since I've gotten older and now have a mid rise lift, the only thing I use it for is a sort of dolly, to roll heavy things around the shop.

 

[NUTTSGT]

A regular creeper might be easy to put somewhere but a Bone creeper is harder to find a spot for. I've kept thinking about making a bracket to hold mine and somebody has thought along the same line as me.

From a utility/ladder hook from a rafter.

 

[rweaver]

JRC3 love the dog in the pic we have always had black labs and presently have two (zuzu and petey)

 

[JCQuick]

On the floor jack between a set od shelves and the parts washer

 

[xtremek]

I have a gap between my boxes so that I can access an electrical outlet, so the creeper stands on the floor between them

All 3 of mine are in the attic because I seldom used them. I usually just throw a large piece of corrugated cardboard on the floor instead...

I use cardboard too. Catches the crud and fluids for easier floor cleanup.

I have had mine for 25 years and I just got done testing it today without even seeing this thread. One front wheel will not swivel easily so it is off to the pole building to be used as a dolly for heavier things.

 

[JRC3]

I use cardboard too. Catches the crud and fluids for easier floor cleanup.

Me too and I also use sections of carpet. Carpet is nice to lay and sit on and feels good under foot. I remodel so I often keep good clean carpet for this reason. I love it when I go into a newly purchased home where the old owners put down new carpet to sell it. One full bedroom of carpet lasts me a long time with 2'x3' sections.

 

[Brad54]

I bought an eyehook (for wood), screwed it into the end of the creeper by the head cushion, and hung it on a single pegboard hood.

Now I have a mid-chest high shelving unit in the shop, and I hang the creeper off the end of it--I set the lower wheels on the bottom shelf, and wrap a bungee cord around the top to hold it tight to the shelving unit.

I hang mine on the wall. Depending on the type of creeper you have, a different hook will probably be required. My hook is a 1x4 piece of cedar cut at ~30 degree angle.

My craftsman creeper fits in the toe kick under one of my benches.
