carterb Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 When it comes to garage creepers - which are good and which are bad and why? Anyone love theirs? Anyone hate theirs? 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Izzo's are thought to be bad, but actually are good. Actually, I just have some cheap ass creeper. One with a adjustable headrest would be preferred I think. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I've got a strap on one which I picked up cheap. Pluses, it's really low to the ground and has an tiltable headrest which is a must in my books. Minus, it's got steel wheels which means unless you are on a smooth, flat surface, the wheels can grab.

MurphyEF Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I generally use cardboard...then again I'm young and flexy. I also don't have a garage that I can get out of my car in. Quote Link to comment
a.d._510_n_ok Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 if I ain't got red Oklahoma sand in my hair and chiggers in my buttcrack I just don't feel like I accomplished much. 4 Quote Link to comment
filthy forever Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 harbor freight sells a low profile creeper that's OK in quality but works good to get under there. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I own the Harbor Freight plastic one they're selling now. I like it. Cost me like $15 with my 20% coupon. Quote Link to comment

DRIVEN Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Oh aren't you clever! :rolleyes: Not really :sleep: . I was just looking for an excuse to post Jacob's broken car. If you look right under his gas tank you can see my crappy HF creeper. It was barely worth the $15 I paid for it and only has 5 wheels now...all of which are loose. I don't use it often. You're more likely to find me laying on a sheet of cardboard than that POS. Quote Link to comment
Homeboyx Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I have 2 of them, some cheap craftsman one and a wooden one with some weird swivel metal wheels. Since there is absolutely no space for a car in the car hole (chuckles), I have to do everything in my driveway. My driveway has soo many cracks on it so my creepers are absolutely a pain in the ass to use. Quote Link to comment

Jdm720 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I have the plastic cornwell creeper. Same as the plastic snap-on and matco creepers. Nice foam for the head, comfortable, and smooth on the floor. Before I had this foldable one I had bought at the swap meet, and loved it until I ran it over with a semi-truck. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 i cant get my truck high enough off the ground to use a creeper... first world problems? lol Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I also need a new creeper. The one I've used for the last few years Mark from EOP gave me. The wheels are now square and quite a bit of hardware is missing. Someone has to have a good one to recommend! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I recommend a nice piece of carpet. My hair gets caught in the creeper wheels. :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I own the Harbor Freight plastic one they're selling now. I like it. Cost me like $15 with my 20% coupon. Don't buy this if you are over 220lbs. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Just make sure you get one with an adjustable headrest, your neck will thank you. Quote Link to comment
