Wooden Creeper

[joetool]

Was gifted this a few years back, but I actually preferred using a piece of cardboard on the floor. Planning on listing this on Craigslist or EBay, but I don't know what it's worth. Any help would be appreciated.

Honestly, on larger items the shipping costs will likely outweight the value. That's easily $25-30 to ship, and the value is likely close to that. Remember, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. On your side right now is that it's in good shape and has vivid graphics, which in the antiques world is a major plus.

Never seen one with the jacks. Cool.

I don't want it

That's the "heavy duty" one. Someone around here is selling a Snap On wooden one. He wants 50. It's been on craigslist for a while now.But yors is nice-very clean. Should get 30-35 I think.

That would look good hanging on the wall.

I'm with you, nothing beats cardboard over concrete.

I just bought a patio swing and it came in a large cardboard box. What size of creeper would you like? Maybe we could make a trade? I could meet you halfway.

I have one just like it but am not sure of the brand. It was left in the garage at the house i just moved into. I actually like it better than the newer one i have. I would think it could sell for $30 at a local flee market around here.

Thanks for the replies, but I kinda like the idea of hanging it on the wall. Should've thought of that sooner. This thing is like new. Anyone know how old it is?

No? Try a yoga mat.

I have an old crown top craftsman, but always end up using a sheet of 3/4" foam insulation.

is that gangnail stock?

i agree. cool wall hanger. better than 20 bux you'll blow on a late night JITB meal.

 

[joetool]

is that gangnail stock?...

I didn't put there and it looks original to the creeper, so I would guess yes.

I have one my grandpa bought back in the late 40's-early 50's when he started his career turning wrenches. It's rough but I like it hanging there, my plans are to find the correct style hardware and restore it to somewhat working order. Tough part will be aging the new hardware.

Cardboard and carpet pieces are comfortable, but they don't offer mobility when needed. Got tired of struggling with that until I made a "Low Boy" years back...

Anyone know what that "jacking" gizmo actually is for?? Never seen one of those either. Thought it might be some sort of a "brake" for working on a slope, when I first saw it.

It looks as if they literally become stationary legs, so you can stay in place and not roll around when pushing or pulling on work piece or tool.

HF has a (waterproof) folding pad with a raised head rest that I like alot: http://www.harborfreight.com/folding-mechanics-pad-93896.html

I agree. I buy all the quarter and 50 cent exercise mats at the yard sales I find!

Yeah, that's it. Problem is that it would cause clearance issues unless I had the car jacked up uncomfortably high.

I got this at king of the hammers back in February. It's great, and the foam is really tough.
