I love this creeper. I am over 300 lbs and I thought it would poke me on the back of my arms and under my shoulder blades, but it did not. The dip in the frame is great for when you need to rest your arms, and it did not poke there either. I was able to lay just fine on the creeper and I have a 52" chest, it rolls fine on my cemented pebble driveway too. Low to the ground. The assembly was a breeze! Very comfortable! Would overly recommend. Very sturdy, not a cheapo.

Condidered a much more expensive creeper for my 60-year old body, but this works well. Supports my head nicely, not like my old flat creepers.
Creeper is quite comfortable and supports my head. My neck is not sore from holding up my head now! Worth the money.

If you're looking at this creeper don't waste your time looking any further! This is the best design I've ever seen! I've looked at creepers from the tool trucks and the tool stores, and this creeper my friend, is the best. The ball bearing wheels roll with very little effort. The wheels are also very eye pleasing. I even rolled around in my house on the carpet with it! It rolls so easily. The frame is sturdy, it's strong, quality at it's best! In a previous review, one owner complained that the head rest would return to the flat position accidently... I have no idea what that guy did to get the head rest to fall, but I even put my shoulder into the lever trying to get the head rest to fall and it would not fall. When you raise the head rest, it is secure! It is very simple and effortless to adjust to your desired angle. The creeper is covered with a stain resistant vinyl. The frame rides low so you can squeeze under lower vehicles. The frame has four cross members which makes this creeper extremely rugged. The casters also having bearings in the swiveling mechanisim. The head rest has three positions. The head rest works flawlessly! I want to make that point very clear. I believe the previous complaint about the head rest was miss leading. This is one SOLID creeper! For $50, I have no idea how you could go wrong. Shoot, after using it, I would have paid $150 for it! ATD gets 5 stars for this creeper. I'm glad I got it.

It is comfortable and helps provide neck/head support. Rolls easily and low. I only use rarely, and this is my first, but I am happy with it.

I found this creeper to be of OK quality. Assembly was straight forward with the supplied allen wrench. The wheels are large enough to roll over most work surfaces. The raised head stock helps to prevent muscle strain in my neck that I've had with flat creepers.

The negative side is the movable head stock is only secured in the raised position with a simple bar. I have had the stock return to the flat position accidently several times because of a jacket or sweater getting hooked on the bar handle.

Overall a good idea and a fair product but not the best design execution.

After reading reviews on this and several other creepers, I decided on this one. I have only used it several times, but so far it is very comfortable, and rolls smoothly. It feels sturdy under my 300 lbs. Somebody else's review complained about the adjustable headrest. I haven't tried that yet, but otherwise I'd say this creeper is EXCELLENT!

This is a nice creeper that comes up short in two areas. The casters rub against the padded bench every time you roll sideways on it and will transfer dirt & grease to you and the bench. This hasn't worn a hole in the pad, yet. The headrest does not lock into any positions. This allows it to slam forward with no warning while you are carrying it sideways next to a car. The headrest function is a neck saver under the car for me, otherwise I would have zip tied down. I probably would not buy this item again.

I was tired of having a stiff neck after working on the car. I am restoring an older sports car and am underneath it a lot. Looked at Harbor Freight but thought this one appeared to be better. I read the reviews, I am 6'0" tall and 180lbs, I fit the tool and have had no problems. I did oil the casters before use as they seemed a little dry. I would buy another one if I needed one.

I bought this to replace a very old, uncomfortable, wooden Craftsman creeper from the early 1970s; this is a huge upgrade. I use it only occasionally to work on cars at home. The adjustable neck support works quite well and is pretty stable. The casters are large and sturdy enough that this creeper moves smoothly on my asphalt driveway or my cement garage. The frame is pretty sturdy and the coated cushion is easy to clean. I'm a pretty average sized guy and I find it to be just about the right size. I'm sure there are better creepers with more comfortably contoured cushions, and this might not withstand the rigors of constant use in a professional garage environment, but for the money this was a great buy.

This is a very nice creeper for the money, it rolls nicely with it's six wheels and has a adjustable headrest. I would recommend it to anyone.
