Bad wheels: roller seats and glides

I don't know where they got good reviews from. The wheels are very poorly constructed. Bearing not included. They sit freely on a pin between the wheel housing and the float flange. Most wheels were missing bearings when they arrived. do yourself a favor Go to the cargo port or the northern tool store. A model like this is half the price and has a better wheel design.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Some bugs

Broken upon arrival. Is the plastic weak?

Broken on arrival, very disappointed after seeing the good reviews. One of the wheels is dangling in one of the holes. I hear something like a broken piece of plastic rolling from end to end. For now it works and I hate giving things back because I live in a very rural area. I'll probably live with that and never buy from this company again.

Pros
  • Build quality
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Great rascal! for Creepers

So far I like these Creepers. I had a cheap port freight version for a while and broke it fairly quickly (6ft 220lbs for reference). This one from lisle is a similar size and shape so it offers the same familiar comfort I'm used to, but it also feels a lot sturdier than the HF version so I expect it to last a lot longer. I have used several Lisle products and they have always been great value.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Drives great but not with gray wheels.

I have an uneven garage floor with some uneven grout. It goes through them with no problems. It's also very comfortable and appears to be well built. Definitely worth the extra $$$. The only downside is that it didn't come with the 'grey wheels' that everyone is raving about, even though the product description says so. However, I didn't think that was enough to deduct a full star. The product still works great.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Compatibility

I sweep the floor because I don't like a mess. At the same time

I am a professional mechanic in a car dealership. We have smooth concrete floors. I sweep the floor because I don't like a mess. However, I found this creeper to work well. This wouldn't be optimal for rough concrete or if you have debris like zip ties on the floor. The price is reasonable and durable enough. Bigger wheels would be nice. I hesitated between this and "Bone". In this decision, the prize won.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Communication with the seller

THIS CREEPER WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE MUCH BETTER. TRUST ME - BUY IT!

I used it for the first time today and it's an amazing creeper. I'm about 5ft 11" and 270lbs and it fits me well and rolls easily under my SUV. It didn't tip over when I stood on it and tried not to roll away. Very convenient. I've used a lot of creepers and it's a keeper! Buy it - you won't be disappointed. I just used it again the other day (a few months later) and it's an amazing creeper. It will NOT snag my driveway cracks or potholes like these original creepers.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Something else

Lisle 97102 Black plastic liana

Sweet liana. The price is worth it for a man or woman who likes to maintain their car themselves. Pretty comfortable and about as low as you would expect from a Creeper. I use it under a 4x4 3/4 ton pickup and can drive under it with no problem. I had one of those closed cell foam pillows that are used for camping naps and I cut them to fit this creeper to make them even more comfortable. Although not required, it is very nice. The handles are good for picking up and hanging. It is designed for

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Clarity

Great quality and design - Creeper "Must buy "

Excellent quality and design. The contoured shape is designed for and provides comfort. Durable plastic, not flimsy; is not easily pierced. The headrest is positioned just right to work under the car. Casters work very well; Only six wheels help distribute the load better on the track and make maneuvering under the vehicle easier. Plastic is also easy to clean, as oil on the vine is unavoidable. Built-in handles for easy carrying and storage. I deliberately avoided the high-quality alternative.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

UPDATE 4/16/2016 :: I've added a photo below showing the wheels the Creeper now comes with versus the old gray urethane wheels it previously came with. This was a big drop in wheels quality for me, but it's still a good creeper. At the time of writing this update, like most other locations, Revain still had the Creeper pictured with the gray wheels. but now it comes with black hard plastic wheels. Having tried foam-lined creepers and other types of creepers, I still prefer hard plastic creepers

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Some small things
