What Type Creeper Stools Do You Use?
I need a new creeper stool, my old one was from Costco, and I used till the wheels fell off literally. I want one that's easy on the back/knees, and is very durable. I remember Joe from Superior Shine used one that looked futuristic, and someone commented on it, saying it was very economical. So input please!!!
I don't want it to look wet, I want it to look Soaked!

Hey Jimmy,
I don't have one but like you I've been looking around. I was over on Griots website and they have a decent selection that won't break your wallet.

I use to use the cheap $25.00 one from Walmart, but here's the problem with them. The wheels don't last too long and they're only 2.5". The small wheels will catch on the smallest pebble and throw you off.
In February, when the weather got really warm here, I got this one and love it.

Very true indeed and wheels are usually hard. They will stop rolling when they hit most anything (mismatch in concrete, stone, etc).
Maybe you could make your own using a 4 wheel furniture dolly. They only cost like $15 and have large wheels. You just need to bolt a seat to it.

Craftsman. $29.00 at Sears. Pneumatic height adjustment (a must). Excellent in the garage but not on rough surfaces.
Best,
Jose

Nice a pneumatic stool, what's considered a rough surface? I have a cement floor....

I use a Werner Aluminum Portable Work Platform I got from Lowes for $39. It is solid as a rock!
I can stand on it & easily do the roof on a SUV. The legs lock & there are no wheels to break off.
Model #: AP-20-MP6
I set it in front of the panel I am working on. When I'm done with that panel I just slide it down.

I also have the Werner platform and use it often with great results. Another item you may want to check out is the Racatac kneeling creeper and seat. I've seen numerous detailers post pictures of this and have it on my wish list of future purchases. Google racatac and you will find numerous retail outlets carrying them .
