Vintage Creeper Seat

[Bryan Burns]

Picked this up at auction for a single figure recently and used it for the first time Sunday while waxing my CR-V.

It feels like it has a suspension seat due to the flat bar design. Love the thing.

That's a wonderful little creeper seat.

Way cool. Being 'spring' steel I wonder what weight it will hold.

Good point. It probably was not designed with the modern American waistline in mind.

That seat is cool, kind of work like those old school springy lawn chairs.

Great find

I've got one just like it 'cept mine has a padded seat and I bought it new in 94.

Looks like my Snappy I got about 24yrs. ago, except it has a padded seat.

Bottom pics as requested. I also measured the bar stock for you creative types.
I weigh 180 lbs and it has the perfect amount of give.





Wheels look like cast iron. They certainly wear like cast iron because you can't see any wear.

nice find. the design is great. i have the OldSchool MAC version of this type of roller seat which includes red painted metal and a maroon colored padded seat with 'MAC/Quality Tools' on it's top. the base shape/design and the fastener locations are identical to yours, as is the swing out seat mount.

That is a great find - I really like it. The the lettering on the seat is classic.
If one could replicate the patina of the seat - I think they would sell a lot of them.
