Was looking at getting a better creeper & thought these looked promising. Does anyone here have one, if so, what do you think of it? The hard plastic wheels on my creeper are getting chewed up pretty bad just from rolling on concrete that isn't glass smooth. Have you ever had to replace the wheels on one of these?

Well, I got a $50 creeper at Autozone that's plastic and I don't like it, it flexes too much with my 260 lb **** and drags.

I got one of them, it's a very good creeper. no more accidental flips, tips. Plus I haven't pinched any body part. It rolls awesome over almost anything.
Only complaint i got it sn't the comfortable thing to lye on but it serves it's purpose :beer:

Plus it holds my FAT AZZ, #280 give or take a few:dunno:

I hate creepers of any kind ... I have 2 of them, 1 high dollar and 1 cheap one ... both of them were gifts and would still rather use a piece of cardboard.

Screw creepers... I just use a piece of cardboard or an old beach towel. Creepers take up too much vertical space when you're working under jackstands...

Picked one up almost 10yrs ago - probably used it half a dozen times. I'm a cardboard/towel kind of guy...

That said, it's stable, rolls well/easily, & seems indestructable...

I just swiped all the features I liked in the ones I saw around, and built my own incorporating those features.
Now I can't decide if I should reupholster the thing, or just stay off it completely. Old age ain't for cowards.

I bought a creeper but it's hard to get used to it. I am so used to the hardfloor I feel like learning to ice skate with a creeper.. plus my nose is always scraping the oilpan maybe that's why.

On this one I'd say to check out Harbor Freight. I didn't want to spend a lot of cash on a creeper and HF has some decent ones to pick from. The one I got has the frame that curves up at the outer edge where the wheels mount so you're closer to the floor and it's held up to my heavy weight so I can attest to its durabilty.

Dudes,
This creeper is awsome. Even works on grass. I have had it for a year now and I can't beleive I've done without it for so long. It rolls right over my 3/8 air line, no problem. It really is pretty amazing. I say go for it.

I was looking at buying one, they look pretty rugged. But my regular creeper has not given me a reason to. :)

P.S. What ever happened to that hover-creeper that ran on shop air that we discussed a few months back? :bounce:

I still use my 20 year old Craftsman with the angled steel wheels when I use a creeper. I still cuss when a pebble gets under the wheel and I can't roll. If I'm outside I use a sheet of cardboard or an old large truck mudflap.
