Dale Adams Enterprises?

[kythri]

These were the folks making the Bone Creeper and Tail Bone seat.

Nobody seems to carry the products anymore.

Their website is still up, but emails bounce as undeliverable.

Dale died in 2021, and google searches bring up closed as an option, but no results.

I'll try calling on Monday.

I would try contacting an authorized dealer and ask what's going on.

Any luck with them? I'm looking for replacement wheels, and can't find them anywhere.

My understanding is that the company is now owned by Shinn Fu / Hein Werner (super nice folks). I'd start here

 

[drtyler]

Good find, thanks.

The bone creepers are pretty good.

Bonecreeper.com lists SFU as the owner, but the dealer locater on the website lists about eight dealers and not a single one of the dealers has any bone creepers listed on their website.

I wanted a Bone Creeper in August 2021. I searched far and wide for one and the only one I found was at an Advance Auto or Carquest about a two hour round trip away. I made the drive and got my creeper.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Called their customer service (option 4 Parts, Option 4 Bone Creeper). The recorded message said, "as of January 2021, the Bone Creeper factory is still shut down, and we have no parts available."

Not looking good...

If I heard the rumors correctly, Dale's passing left behind a mess and half for the folks trying to sort it all out. He was a local to where I grew up. Hopefully they get the business up and going again.

Hi everyone, I know this post is a bit old, but just wanted to get the word out that a selection of Bone Creeper models are back in production at the factory and we have been receiving stock in our Kansas City warehouse over the past few weeks! Fresh shipments of Bone Creepers to retailers and distributors such as Autozone, Advance Auto, Fastenal, Northern Tool, and Grainger are set to begin very soon, but you can start placing orders through those places now! Thank you for your interest in Bone Creeper products!

This deserves a bump so more are likely to see it.

We certainly appreciate your excitement, but unfortunately, the Tail Bone has been discontinued for the foreseeable future. However, the Rough Rider is still one of the three Bone Creeper products that are in production now!

It is SO WONDERFUL to hear that the Bone is back!

I ran Dale Adams Enterprises from 2006 - 2019 (my deadname was Jeremy Adams - Dale was my father).

It broke my heart to leave the company, but Dale's uncontrollable spending and poor business practices caused the company to fail (and led to his self-unaliving in 2021)

I'd love to talk to someone at SFA about how you brought it back, as well as provide insight and advice from the person who ran it for so many years!
