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 |

Slide on the ground. Great clearance and you clean your garage floor at the same time!

Yeah, I usually use cardboard or a crappy blanket, helps with the sliding too. Sometimes I am in a rush and forget, end up with a big old black smear on my teeshirt on my right shoulder blade (apparently I favor that one while sliding). The worst is during the winter when sliding and my shirt rolls up just enough that skin hits ice cold concrete. Lovely. |
