I hate my creeper, and it is slowly dying.
If I have to spend any time on it, I get up with a rocking headache and sometimes a little sick to my stomach too. The wheels are too small to roll on asphalt, and the creeper still sits pretty high off the ground. I am looking for a creeper that: 1) won't have me cussing a blue streak with an aching head if I have to be on it for a while 2) has wheels that work on asphalt driveways 3) is actually low to the ground. 4) does not suck. I eagerly await your replies. Zach |

Sounds like you need one with an adjustable head rest. That makes a difference. Also one with at least six wheels. Steel wheels roll better than plastic ones. I've got one with those features plus a steel frame. I've seen the "dogbone" types and have used them, but none I remember had an adjustable head rest. I prefer the adjustable head rest. Your neck doesn't kill you if you have to be holding your head up to work.
