Traxion 1-100 ProGear Wide Body Low Profile Automotive Creeper W/All-Terrain 5" Casters , Black

Before this creeper, I had 2 other ones, a big box store one and a $140 SnapOn basic creeper. Both of those had issues with rolling and kneeling on them, so I decided to give this one a try, after talking to a few guys and calling Traxion directly to ask about a few details.First of all, I am 6'2", 235lb, and even with my weight fully on it, it rolls unbelievably smooth and easy. Wheels go over small stuff, grime, cardboard, small hoses and pipes and occasional pebbles on the shop floor. Wheels do have a ball bearing on top (swivel) and a sleeve bearing for the axle, and are big comparing to other standard creepers.Frame is a perimeter type, with one big oval underneath the pad with no cross beams. It is sturdy, back is made out of plywood not particle board, and 4 arms with wheels are welded to the frame. I did not notice any issues with the paint as the previous reviewer mentioned, in fact, it appears to be a very nice finish - it withstood rolling over plastic and sheet metal scrap with no scratches that went all the way through to the steel. I guess only time will tell how well paint lasts, but to me, it looks very well and durable.Pad itself is the more comfortable than my previous 2 creepers. If you spend any significant time on your back on the creeper, you will appreciate a nice cushion that padded creepers provide. My first plastic creeper was way to "pointy", with all kinds of pressure points from clothing and tools that got caught underneath my back. SnapOn creeper was better in this regard, but I think this Traxion pad is even better. I just spent about 4.5 hours on it, and I do not feel a single point that hurts. It is also fairly wide, so rolling onto your side is not a problem and you will not end up on the side rails.But aside from all this, I think the biggest advantage of this creeper, for me, is the absence of side rails. Side rails on creepers add rigidity that is necessary for support, but also prevent you from kneeling or sitting on the creeper comfortably. Quite frequently my shins would get bruised from banging against the rails, and my thighs would get numb from sitting on the creeper with rails. Traxion creeper does not have rails at all, and thanx to this open design, when kneeling and sitting on it I have no issues at all. This is something that was very important for me, although I do understand other people that prefer rails for support when rolling around. I just think that because of my weight and size, I do not really roll off the pad that easily, so this side support is not something I need. Quite the opposite, I do not want it, so that I can use the creeper as a kneel board or a shallow seat.I also did not experience issues with my legs getting caught or rubbing against the wheels or arms. Maybe this is due to my longer legs that arch above the arms with wheels, but I can not be sure. Compared to my first creeper which was a dog-bone like, overhead reach and leg comfort are superior, with no problems extending arms above my head to reach stuff and no issues when rolling my head around looking for tools or bolts on the floor.The top surface of the creeper, when measured at the lowest point, is 4.75 inches from the ground, with bottom frame being just around 1 inch from the ground. For comparison, my Snappy creeper sits at 1 inch from the ground, with top surface at 4 inches from the ground. Width of the SnapOn creeper is 17.25 inches, where this one is at 19 inches.Overall, I think this is excellent creeper, and is certainly the best one I owned.

Comfortable creeper, the plastic casters are noisy and not that great I’ve upgraded to these Soft Rubber Swivel Threaded Stem Caster Set of 4 w/5" x 1.25" Black Wheels and 1/2" Stems - Includes 4 Swivel - 1100 lbs Total Capacity - Service Caster Brand, they have grease fittings, now it’s perfect.

Good affordable, but the plastic wheels would be better with a little rubber

As a "fat guy", I have been looking for a creeper that would support me and last a long time. This creeper fits the bill perfectly! The metal frame is very sturdy and I have had zero issues with support. The oversized wheels are also great, dirt on the floor is no longer an issue!

This is probably good enough for me, It woeks OK. But the Icon at Hargor Freight is the same design with welded construction and has much better wheels. I mean it is not even close. The Icon is $39 more than this one but it is also $39.00 better in my opinion.

You won't want to go back to your box store creeper after this. Pretty easy to put together. Upgradeable if you want. Might want to add a head pillow. If you are a big guy, the thing will feel a little more solid than the cheaper models and that's the main thing.I am pleased with the purchase.

I'm going to start off by qualifying myself to lend credibility to my review. I just turned 65 years old and I've been a shade tree mechanic ever since I got my first car. I'm also a certified, licensed Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic & Inspector on Airplanes and Helicoptors. Now, of all the creepers I've owned over the years, this is hands down the best one I've ever owned. It's the first one I've had that I could sit on the very end of it and not have it tip up or roll away from me.Most of them are difficult for an old man to get off as they want to flip up or roll away. The platform on this fits my body very well. I'm 6'2" and I weigh 250 pounds. The larger than average wheels don't get in the way at all and they roll across the garage floor with ease. Now that I've got this and know how good it is, I personally think it's worth over $100. Some reviews say the wheels are too big to go under their car. If you stop for a second and think about it, your body is higher than any wheels on any creeper when you lay down on it, so how could the wheels be to high if your body slides under the vehicle? I've rated this a five but I'd give it a a ten if I could. I JUST LOVE IT! Jim Honeycutt

I read the reviews and found a few to be strange especially the one where someone says the creeper rolls so freely it doesn't stop.I am without a doubt the hardest person on any creeper. Seems to me creepers are made for small light people and made by people who generally never use them. I have smooth surfaces and bumpy surfaces to creep across but have yet to find a creeper at a reasonable price that fits the 90% of what I need this creeper does both easily.This creeper rolls over rough surfaces easier than the typical creeper and way smoother than a small wheeled creeper. It has a very stiff good quality feel for as small as it is. The pad is a little too stiff for my taste and too thick the creeper does sit a little to high for creeping under vehicles you really don't want to jack up like trucks, but it's not so high you do not feel low to the ground.If I found anything I do not like so far its the stiff thick padding and it could be a little lower to the ground but its not likely gonna break so I will probably keep it longer than my last steel creeper of 8 years.
