One of the most important pieces of equipment in any workshop is the mechanics creeper. For generations, mechanics have used these small wheeled trucks to get underneath a car in order to gain access to the various components there when assessing or repairing the drive train. The Bone Creeper line of tools are some of the most distinctive creepers on the market, but as well as their unique appearance, they are also amongst the most innovative, well made, and impressive models available.The secret behind the unique dog bone appearance of the Bone creeper is to produce a creeper that is much more comfortable and easy in use than many of the alternatives. The shape of the creeper, which is similar to a cartoon bone is an ergonomic device that creates a comfortable shape that is much better able to support the body while working, and also can make lying down for long periods much easier.
When working under a vehicle, the main concern is to be as low to the ground as possible. This is so that the working conditions are less cramped, and the mechanic is given slightly more room to reach up to the car, with better visibility. One of the innovations that has been incorporated into the Bone Creeper has been the way that the casters on the unit have been fixed above the level where the user is lying. The wheels are mounted within the bulbous ends of the Bone Creeper.
By getting round the problem that most often affects the way in which creepers work, and providing additional working space to the user without having to resort to using tiny wheels, the Bone Creeper is a much more comfortable alternative to traditional models, and provides you with a much better working environment.
Bone Creepers are brightly colored and a number of different styles are available. The company has recently included a range of special “Patriot” models that incorporate a stunning representation of the US flag across the front, and make a much more interesting design that looks great in any work shop. The shape makes them much more stable in use, and thanks to how wide the wheelbase is, Bone Creepers will not tip over under any circumstances.
The Bone Creeper is available in a number of different styles. The main options are the standard and Rough Rider versions. The Rough Rider Bone Creeper has been specially designed to work well under rougher conditions than standard creepers. Thanks to much larger wheels that measure five and a quarter inches in diameter, and almost one and a half inches in width that feature a rubber tire, the Rough Rider Bone Creeper can be used on a much wider variety of surfaces than standard models. The manufacturers content that you will be able to use the Rough Rider on almost any surface, rather than being restricted to the super smooth concrete that you get in a well ma
