Default Creepers

After busting my second cheep creeper this year I'm going to spend a little money this time and get a good one. Any recommendations?

Buy the HF and replace the board with 3/4" plywood.

Torin Big Red Heavy-Duty Creeper, Model# TR6462 | Creepers | Northern Tool + Equipment

Affordable, about 1/3 the cost of a similar snap on unit.

I still use the same Snap-On creeper I bought probably almost 8 years ago

I just ordered a Bone Rough Rider creeper. The two cheap ones I had broke the casters off going over the seams in the concrete. The one I ordered has 5.25in casters so that should solve that problem. Plus it has a 500lb capacity Another good reason to put off going on a diet.

That one should be great for moving things around the shop too.
