Which Mechanics Creeper?

[JAG1]

It's funny my old KMart creeper was great for many years, repaired it a few times. Now the same one sells around 3 times what I originally paid $24.95. Now sells on the net for 74 dollars. I'm amazed they still make those wooden ones.

 

I do carry a padded mat with me in the RV on long trips. IBMobile likes using it and it helps slide things in and out of storage in the RV with the 5 foot long basement.

My dad's Snap-On creeper is around 30 years old.  No problems with the wheels, bearings, cracked frame welds, or anything. The padding is still good, and pad cover hasn't split - it is thick material. He's been well over 250 pounds the whole time.

 

The wheels are larger than most, and I think there are 8 wheels, not 6.

Now you got me regretting my not getting one...... Oh well, I can try out the AFF and report about it.

Our shop at work only has snap on creepers, and a couple of bone creepers, some of the snap on ones have been their as long as I have, over 25 years.

 

the one at home is just a Pittsburgh from harbor freight, it’s pretty much the same one from other box stores, just a different color and name, It works for home use but it stays on the garage floor and I’m not a large man by no means, it’s held up for several years

Part that sucks is it seems to be always falling apart screws and bolts loosening up.

I tack welded mine

 I had some carpet padding I used for a while. It had a moisture barrier on one side. That held up for about 5 years. It was soft on the gravel and kept the dampness away with the barrier side down.

I must say since my dad got the two post lift the creepers don't get near the workout they used to!

My new creeper is due to show up tonight before 9 tonight. I'm excited about mounting two metal plates above the shoulder area to hold a fully adjustable magnetic light on either side. It is 47 inches long and wider than most. Supposed to be pretty comfy.
