This may have been discussed before but I did not find anything with the search option so maybe some of you can give me feedback and help me decide what creeper I will buy.
I've come the realization that I may very well drop $140 or more on a creeper only to smash it into pieces when I get so aggravated with it that my brain explodes! Yes it has happened already and almost did again last night.
I started out with one of the two creepers I already owned. It's a red vinyl covered, metal framed, 6 wheel creeper made by Jeepers Creepers. It rolls well but eats the right side of every t-shirt I own and has had support issues with the frame. I've welded and re-screwed bit it still needs work.
Then I went to an older Blue Max creeper of similar but stronger construction. I had to replace wheels only to have others de-laminate shortly after. It rolls in the EXACT opposite direction I want to go in and also eats shirts. That one got thrown, smashed and is heading to the dumpster.
I then went to the classic Snap On creeper which not only eats shirts but skin too. Although it does roll pretty well when not removing flesh or cloth from my sweating, high blood pressure, anxiety ridden body.
I am in dire need to buy a new one but have become rather scared that I may have a heart attack if I buy one that will just end up pushing me over the edge into complete mental breakdown. And believe me I am already getting close.
Anyone have something that they use EVERY day that they actually like?
Thanks for the input. I look forward to reading your suggestions as well as your tails of woe for ones NOT to buy.
For clarity sake, I work in a garage with a pretty dirty concrete floor so it needs to roll well on somewhat rough surfaces. I occasionally need to use it on pavement. I use it all the time, almost daily so it needs to be durable. I weight just under 200 lbs. And I think I have determined that any open wheel style is out of the question.
