    Floor creeper

    Just wondering does anyone have this one?
    It's a bonester looks pretty nice. It won't tip over or get snagged
    on jackstands that every single one does. It seems like a nice fix.

    How comfortable is it?
    worth buying?

    personally, i never use creepers. my dad had one when i was growing up. i found it to be more of a pain in the ass than just throwing a piece of cardboard down on the driveway/cement floor and sliding around on that.

      Probably the best Ive used. doesnt get hung up everywhere like most that drag a wheel on a grain of sand. only real downside ive found is the cover over the wheels bump into stuff and dont let you get up close. not a huge issue for me though. used one alot working on trucks.

        Used one quite a few times at my old job at Fleetwood Travel Trailers. If I recall I was mostly getting stuck on airlines. Other then that I liked it.

          The real question is- can it roll over a zip tie.

              Wouldn't a normal creep get stuck on them anyway?

                I'm the same. I hate how when you pull/push on a wrench, your whole body moves. Laying on the floor works much better. I usually use an old piece of carpet.

                  So true.


                  To the OP, as long as it's a low profile and doesn't have exposed wheels you should be fine. Back in my old long hair days, I lost more than a few handfuls to those evil bastards.

                    I just got a 10$ large vinyl cushioned mat from home depot. Works great. Yea I alwayw wondered if its annoying to have to brace your whole body if wrenching.

                      I've got one of those. 300lb capacity my ass. At 170lbs if I don't lay in it just right, it flexes and drags. Not recommended.

                        Did that last week, and got a haircut the next day.

                              Wheels yes, the sides no.
