          So I ordered the "bonester".
          we'll see.

          My reason for creaper is there are floors that are caked in grease, dirt, blood, who knows.
          Not a nice garage or driveway at home.
          So getting under cars all the time using the same cardboard or blanket you're going to look like a greasy ass slob.

          I know exactly what you're talking about i'm 260lbs and I used some POS kreigens one it dragged. I was so depressed.
          The problem was it didn't have wheels in the middle.

              Same here-'cept I weigh 190. Otherwise I look at it as incentive to lose more lbs.

                    Enjoy the wheels falling out and the whole frame separating into two pieces after a few uses. I have the same one, ended up drilling a bunch of holes and bolting the two halfs together permanently since the bolts they give dont hold it together and it flexes all over, plus its uncomfortable as fuck.

                      I have a snap on one......only time it leaves the hanger on the wall is when I move to a new shop.....I prefer the cold concrete cooling my ass sweat as I lay on the ground.

                        creepers are kinda shitty IMO. instead use the money to buy a good chair with wheels, they're actually nice to have
