Bone Creeper

For over 20 years, Bone Creeper has been revolutionizing the ease of working under a vehicle. The patented dog bone shape of these creepers is comfortable and easy to use because it cradles the user between the wheels—about 1 1/4 inches above the ground—making it the lowest on the market. It is a proven design that is more durable, more comfortable, less likely to tip over and easier to work on than any other creeper on the market.
The company offers three different creepers that support varying amounts of weight, between 300 to 400 pounds. All three products use this unique one-piece body that is molded of the same special engineering-grade co-polymer. It is smooth, comfortable, easy to clean, resistant to gasoline, oil and almost all other common solvents, and is covered by a limited one-year warranty. Two molded-in handholds make it easy to carry and every model features incredibly strong, custom molded wheels. MSRP: $80-$150 depending on model. (330-677-4030/www.bonecreeper.com)
