creeper

Post by dogbower »

Any recommendations on creeper for lying under cars.
Seem to be 3 main types,-
metal frame with padded base,- don't the bars dig into shoulders?
moulded plastic- only issue seems to be with americans making them scrape on the floor
ones that convert into a seat- can't see these being any good.

Thanks Stuart

I bought a creeper, padded and converts to a seat last year. Spends all it's time leaning against the side of my bench. I still use my old high density foam pad bought from Halfords years ago, it's just much easier to get out and use. The one a lot of the mags recommend is the bone creeper - 80 quid-ish.

I'm the same, I have 2 creepers leaning up against the wall and use high density foam mats instead

Offcuts of carpet and sheets of cardboard :)

Creeper is great to glide under but when you pull on a spanner and slide back & forth it gets annoying.

Well that saved me some money, I have a nice big bit of foam already. Didn't think about the movement when undoing things.

Thanks all
