I find the best creeper is the factory certified low profile creeper. AKA CARDBOARD. Sometimes you just cant beet low tech.

I've gone threw a couple of the hf creepers, After a while the casters give up and the plastic breaks down to the point they drag mor than creep lol

I got lucky and scored this cornwell creeper from craiglist for 30 buck

It is by far the caddy of creepers, the padding on this thing is awsome. I fight the urge to take a nap everytime I use it haha. One of the best features are the big wheels, they roll on over uneven floors much better than the small casters.

Using a HF one right now. I'm 250. Works good. Lot better than laying on cardboard, as I'm usually in/out from under the vehicle a lot to grab tools and parts. The trays on it, however, are worthless for me b/c I can't get to them when laying on it.

Its funny. I have been a auto tech for 30 years. I own a creeper but dont like using it? At work we use lifts and I have no issues getting under a car when its on one. But there is just something about laying under a car thats just above me I just dont like? Creeps me out. Even with overkill jack stands all over it. I just dont feel safe!!! When actually its probably safer. Maybe because I cant run if I need too? I feel trapped.

I feel the exact same way but unfortunately I don't have a lift and the car ain't going to fix itself. I do not like being under stuff or in tight places (I'm VERY claustrophobic. I had to ride in a buddy's little ford Focus the other day in the back seat, and I could not fit in there without having to physically grab my leg and twist it in past the door frame. My knees were practically in my chest and I was pressed against the door. Did not like it at all and could hardly stand the 30 minute ride)
