I have one of these: 

https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-Corp-Profile-Plastic-Creeper/dp/B0002SR0US/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475366468&sr=8-1&keywords=lisle+jeepers+creeper

I've had it for about 3 years and it continues to hold up well.   I'm a fairly big person (245 pounds) so I provide a pretty good load test.   It works best on smooth concrete.   The wheels will tend to snag on seams in the concrete and electrical cords, but otherwise no complaints.   I used to have one sold by Sears but the wheels didn't hold up well to the abuse I gave them.

The bone is very comfortable & with the large castors will roll over anything  :2thumbs:

I have two good quality  conventional creepers and never use them, preferring cardboard instead. The Bone does look like a good one however.

My wife bought me this a while back.  I had a crappy one called a big red, it was plastic and broke with very little use.  This one rolls over nuts and bolts and dirt and has a nice comfy cusion.  The metal frame tells me that it will never break! It also folds up into a chair which is very nice! My one complaint is that it doesn't sit as low as I'd like.  I need to raise the challenger to get under it, but there's no creeper that will allow us to roll under our cars, plus I'm a big boy!  I'll admit to sometimes just plopping down on the cardboard though

Best of all, you can order it with free shipping on amazon for 65 bucks!!

HAHA I've seen that one a few years ago.  I've never seen a price on that one, have you?  I'm betting it's just a bit on the expensive side!  :grinyes:

I e-mailed the company on this one. It's called the Human Hoist and it is $12,500 :eek2:

I ended up getting " The Bone-rough rider" from Summit. It rolls much nicer than my old one.  First thing I noticed when I layed down on it was that it restricts my arm movement as compared to my old one because of the wheel placement/design. Small price to pay for a creeper that actually works/rolls. Just something " different" to get used to.
Just realized there is a tool section on here, mods could you please move this there?
Thanks Brad

 It gets stuck/hung up on my uneven driveway sometimes and has been sent airborne a few times out of frustration.
