My DH is really getting into the mechanics of our JK. More and more I see him crawling under the Rubi to check things out. I would like to make this task easier so I want to get him a mechanic's creeper. He is a big man over 6 feet tall and about 245 lbs. We have a 2.5" Fab Tech coil lift on the Jeep. Anyone have any recommendations for a good quality creeper that won't bend under his weight, roll easily, and feel as comfortable as possible for a big guy? Price isn't an issue, quality is. Thank you for your advice in advance.

 

This will sound stupid but our mechanic at work has one shaped like a big dog treat. It is a great creeper. Very comfortable for big guys and the wheels on it hold up good. Im not sure if you know what im talking about i know it sounds dumb but that is exactly what it looks like a big dog treat. I will try to find a pic

 

Is it a "Bone" creeper? I was just reading about them and wondered if they were good. Thanks for the quick reply.

 

Yes bone creeper. I just looked them at on northern tool. I dont know if that is the exact one our mechanic has but it looks pretty much the same. I know they are good quality and the one i looked at had a 400lbs capacity. It was the rough rider bone creeper i think it was better for outdoor use on rougher terrain underneath it.

 

Not trying to shoot down others recommendation....but the bone is a silly gimmick. Want quality? Find a Snap On Tools dealer and get one of these:

I've had one of those for over twenty years and JUST yesterday afternoon I noticed that I need ONE replacement caster. You cannot beat Snap On quality.

Take the space out between the h ttp

 

I bought one at NAPA several years ago, and it still works fine, I'm only 5'8" 215lbs. but the creeper is holding up good...

 

I'm 6'-1'', 265 lbs. Using a creeper professionally I buy 2 creepers and remove the wheels off of one and install them all on one creeper. My 18 wheeler holds up for 3 or 4 years then I throw it away. The snap on quality for wheels etc. is NOT what it used to be....

 

sears has a few good choices
