Cost vs utility is very good

"Avoid the all plastic versions. If you weigh more than a 9 yr old it'll just fall apart. This one is stout. Wish the wheels had ballbearing axles but they do have ballbearing swivels."

Great Creeper

October 15, 2012
By trucky
from Asheville, NC
"I went in looking for the cheapest creeper in the store and came out with this. I was nicely surprised at the quality and usefulness of this model. There may be better creepers with different features but for doing the job, laying on your back under low slung things, this item does exactly what I needed."

Great value

By RXpap
from GA
"Very sturdy and just it feels like it will outlast some of the more expensive models I checked out. The wheels are too small to roll over a lot of objects but they stay out of the way and keep it low to the ground and that's important to me."

"Solid construction and excellent mobility. Low profile so I can work under a vehicle on jack stands/ramps. Rolls easily on concrete or asphalt. A great tool for DIY."

Mechanics Creeper

,
August 13, 2012
By Shankster
from Fredonia, WI
"Bought this creeper on sale for less than a piece of plywood would have cost, so my expectations weren't high. Turns out the creeper is as good or better than any I've owned. Well padded, tubular steel frame, and the 6 casters roll well over floors that aren't the smoothest. Its not a Bone, but then it costs a $100 less."

Makes working on the truck a pleasure.

By ActionJackson
from Parts Unknown
"I got tired of the incompetent service at the local oil change place and decided to start changing the oil in our 4 cars myself. I bought a pair of drive on stands and this creeper. I really don't know how they can sell these so cheap and still make money, but it turned out to be a lot better than I expected. It is comfortable to lay on and rolls around really well. I'm glad I bought this one instead of the more expensive model."

Creepily low & strong

,
March 14, 2011
By Wolfman1953
from Pettit, IN
"I am 300 lb and have lifted and mounted a 78 lb hitch. This creeper did nothing to make me feel it was being stressed. It's design keep me low, giving me more room to work. Being so low means the small wheels get hung on smaller debris, but worth the extra work area. I give this creeper both thumbs up."

Out with the old & In with the new...

,
September 2, 2010
By PCAfterburner
from Conyers, GA
"I had been struggling along with an old creeper that had a mismatched caster on it. When I saw this item on sale, I knew it was time for a change. This new creeper rolls so smoothly on its bearings that it's hard to describe the motion as "creeping". (LOL) The low profile comes in handy with the newer cars with lower suspensions. I am completely satisfied with this creeper and proud to hang it in a prominent place on my garage wall."

Useable

,
March 24, 2010
By 3DRAHTS
from Washington State
"I received my creeper with the box intact. The creeper was twisted and bowed badly enough that all the wheels did not touch the floor and it rocked. In the process of straightening it out, the weld on one rail broke which I re-welded. It was no big deal but it took me about 30 minutes to get it all straight and functioning like it should. It's not a bad creeper for the money and it should be okay as long as you aren't too picky."

creeper

By Taurus
from Bloomington, IL.
"This is the best creeper I have out of 3 others. My garage floor is not real smooth and has pits in it from years of abuse and use, but this creeper doesn't have a problem at all getting stuck in the pits etc. like my other creepers. I have to fight my son for it everytime we are working in the garage. I really like the fact that it is lower than my other 3 and very strudy."
