ok a little off topic but I need to get a new creeper, we dont have hoists and our floor has grates and is in preety rough shape. I got a cheap creeper from harbour frieght and it only lasted about a month. who has the best creeper and whats your thoughts on that dog bone one, I dont want to buy a junk on again.
with a poor floor condition and grates I would be looking for something with a large pneumatic tire, I have seen them from Mac tools but I'm sure they are avail through others. The larger wheels will roll over the grates (depending on the spacing), sand and gravel on the floor easier then a small wheeled creeper. Getting the air filled wheels makes rolling over rough surfaces easier the the hard plastic ones. as with anything there are trade offs.... like a physically larger creeper to accommodate those wheels and more cost up front too..
If you have rough floors order up a set of roller skate wheels with ball bearings. They will last forever and dont jam on small imperfections and gravel.
