Bone Product Description
The Bone is our first and most popular creeper model, an American made product to ease the woes of mechanics worldwide. Originally called the Captain Creeper when it was invented in 1974, its unique shape led it to be renamed as The Bone™ when it went on sale to the public in 1996. Since then it has become a standard for quality in the creeper industry, and is widely asked for by name. Most importantly, however, is the fact that all of our creepers are American made, in a world where so many formerly American products have had their production moved overseas.
The Bone features a uniquely shaped body which cradles the user between the wheels only an inch or so above the ground. The big, easy rolling wheels are positioned outboard to provide a strong, stable working platform that can’t tip or flip the user. The rib-reinforced body is molded of a state-of-the-art, engineering grade co-polymer that resists the effects of common solvents, so cleaning is quick and easy at the end of the job. The smooth, comfortable one-piece design has no cracks, corners or other pinch points, and the outboard wheel pods prevent tipping and flipping. The Bone™ body is a patented design which allows the use of large diameter wheels with specially formulated tires that roll easily over all sorts of obstacles, including rough floors, drop cords and air lines, loose parts and even tools and floor grates. The wheels are fastened to the creeper body with four 5/16-inch diameter. thru-bolts so they can’t pull tear out or break off in any common use situation.
One of the most important features of the Bone is its wheels. Ordinary creeper wheels are a conventional creeper’s weakest point. They’re too small, so they get hung up or stopped by even the tiniest obstacles, and they have a real knack for tearing out or breaking off at the worst moment. To add insult to injury, the replacement wheels can cost almost as much as a new creeper.
The Bone has custom-molded, 5-1/8-inch diameter wheels with oil-impregnated center bearings and specially formulated, molded-in-place 1-inch wide tires that roll even easier and last even longer than the previous design. The heavy American made cad-plated steel caster frames have dual race ball bearing swivels and are thru-bolted to the creeper body. In addition, the winged design adds form to function. Best of all, the wheels are guaranteed for the life of the creeper (against manufacturer defects)!
The Bone is not strictly limited to the automotive market. Recently, the Industrial market has picked it up for use on machine maintenance, and they can even be found at amusement parks for inspecting roller coasters!
The Bone is 47-inch long, 25-1/2-inch wide, has about 1-3/4-inch ground clearance and weighs 18 lbs. The wheels have a limited warranty for the life of the creeper (against manufacturer defects), and the body carries a limited one-year warranty.

Quality to the bone, Satisfied customer,
By Gary Jones (Fort Worth, Tx. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dale Adams Enterprises 6031 The B1 Mechanics Creeper (Tools & Home Improvement)
Have owned several different brands of creepers over the years.I recently purchased The Bone 6301 and believe it is by far the best. I use it primarily on concrete and asphalt floors.It rolls over loose pebbles,gravel,extension cords,and other small debri that has always stopped my other creepers. It is low to the ground and rock solid.It is comfortable and easy to get on and off of despite it's appearance. I would highly recommend The Bone to any one looking to purchase a quality well designed creeper that does what the manufacturer says it will do. I could have purchased another small wheeled creeper but i'm glad I spent a few extra dollars and got The Bone!! Gary Jones/satisfied customer.

smooth and comfortable,
By george mccall (Grampian, PA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dale Adams Enterprises 6031 The B1 Mechanics Creeper (Tools & Home Improvement)
Built a new garage last year with a super smooth concrete floor but the creeper I've been trying to use kept getting hung-up on even the smallest of pebbles or gravel that may be on the floor. I usually ended up using cardboard cause the creeper was more trouble than what is was worth and I ended up on the floor anyway. I'm very happy with the smooth operation of "The Bone" it goes in the direction you want to go and is quite comfortable to work off of. The ad claimed you could roll over cords, tools and parts, I tried this but was unsuccessful it got hung-up, so you probably want to stick with a smooth obsticle free surface. The creeper is somewhat hard to get on and off of because of its odd shape, but I understand that to mount a five inch wheel at each corner it would have to be shaped as is. For what I need this creeper for it will serve me nicely but don't plan on using it on gravel floors or on dirt, you'll probably be disappointed plus the price is about double what it should be.

What a creeper should be.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dale Adams Enterprises 6031 The B1 Mechanics Creeper (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have had several creepers over the years and frankly hated every one of them to the point of just getting rid of them. Seemed like the smallest obstruction would stop the creeper....a small pebble, crack in the pavement, the cord from a trouble light, etc. And since we all don't have glassy-smooth epoxy coated floors, typical creepers just didn't work well.
I decided to try this one because I knew it would be really low to the ground, light weight, and had really tall wheels for rolling over small obstructions. Well it is awesome. I totally love it. They really meant it when they said it will roll over an extension cord....I can't believe it, but it really does. The action of the casters is really smooth too....turns and maneuvers really easily. My build...I am 6'2" and about 200 lbs. I fit the creeper really well, and it is really comfortable. Upgrades....I added some fender washers under the bolts, when assembling the wheels to the body of the creeper, just to provide some added stability for the bolts. Probably not required, but I am rather particular and thought this would make it a little stronger.
