USA Made - Professional 44" Either End Adjustable Creeper (MTL2UP) - by Whiteside Manufacturing

Buy this... ask no questions.Great American made build quality: real solid and nicely made with quality paint, padding and covering. The casters are small but high quality and will roll over cracks, bumps and lose items like bolts easily... only creeper I have found so easy to roll, puts a costly 5" tired creeper to shame. I found working outside the shop on rough asphalt outside with lots of stones, cracks, bumps, and walnuts from nearby trees... it was easy! Best price to value out you can find... you would have to spend $1200-1500 on a Eidos Ergonomic creeper to even come close... to get basically the same function and quality, but this is 1/10th the price of Eidos. Best creeper you can find!I purchased this for use on my personal SUV. I had been struggling with removing rust and old undercoat from my SUV outside, because I can not bring it in the shop at work, I needed lots of air and ability to access welding so doing at home was not possible. Problem was getting a reasonable work position, that I could comfortably and efficiently remove rust and PVC undercoating (really tough stuff) with. After buying I tried for what could I get done in a timed 1 hour... WOW. Well I got done in 1 hour easily what took me 8-10 hours of backbreaking work... and I was not over tired or having muscles hurt. I could easily go a couple hours solid between breaks, and I am an old man!Every creeper has that problem of getting in a comfortable position except this and the high priced Eidos Ergonomic creepers. I even broke purchased a "big 5" wheel spyder frame modern contour padded creeper", it was worthless, hung up on cracks and even small objects, no control rolling, and would easily move while working, uncomfortable, could not get into position, could not adjust height, head rest very uncomfortable. It was worthless. My old wooden creeper was better than that thing. This is a light year better than either.Some build quality comments, all positive. The frame is square tube intermittent welded together with nice MIG quality welds. Overwelding the joints by welding all around the tube would likely just add to cost and result in welded joints that don't hold up as well. It is painted with a very even crackle or wrinkle paint finish. The tube ends are plugged with plastic plugs. Both the seat (3 positions) and the backrest (6 positions) adjust easily with small release levers. The critical bolts and nuts are nylock and tightened to sightly deform top under bolt head of tubing to keep the bolts heads from moving/loosening, smart way to do a job just a nylock nut would not fully be able to do. The padding is very high quality and the vinyl covering heavy duty and neatly done. The casters are 2" dia. at first I was worried about them not rolling easily or getting hung up... not one problem! High quality casters, just work smooth and effortlessly vs. junk that does not! Now adjusting it the notches are capture or hook notches so you can ratchet up but getting down you have to get the mechanism to move up slightly then use the release lever and one it's free let go the release lever and go down. I am retirement age and have no problem. But you may have to pre-adjust or get off to adjust until you figure it out, for safe operation if you cannot do a sit up and hold for a couple seconds. Once you get on to it it can be done carefully, to prevent dropping past the notch. I had it all figured out in a few minutes. But you may want to adjust angle of seat and back before you sit on it or slide off to the side and do the adjustment if you are not fully competent Does not roll around like other creeper while working as the seat, leg and feet positioning seem to work together to keep in place but rolls very comfortably and easily move when you want.Seldom have I been happier with any purchase. Don't go past just buy!

The manufacturer's box was flimsy, wheels sticking through the cardboard and a pivot pin missing upon arrival. Some of this was the quality of the box, compounded by typical carrier mishandling of the package. I made a pivot pin to my satisfaction rather than create a warranty issue over the missing part. (In the photos, you can see the Grade 5 bolt and nylock nut, using nylon spacer washers at each side to reduce friction. The new pin arrangement works well, I adjusted tension to allow free movement without side play.) Once I remedied the missing pin, I tested the creeper. Both ends of the creeper platform adjust well, though it makes sense to adjust these ends before sitting or laying on the creeper. The sitting mode with the long section as a backrest is a marvel. This creeper offers an exceptional range of positions for working at the floor level. The padding is ample and comfortable, and the vinyl should hold up if not abused. Wheels, frame and hardware are very good quality, this unit rolls well in service and should last a long time...The missing pin was not enough reason to ding the rating on this otherwise excellent value. I am very pleased with the purchase and opportunity to be genuinely comfortable when working from the floor. The adjustable positions help eliminate the arm and neck fatigue associated with long work stints on a creeper. For the shop tech working off the floor or a DIY with a home garage/shop, this MTL2UP by Whiteside Manufacturing is a great investment.

Very rugged, comfortable to sit in. It should prove perfect for polishing the underside of my Swift's wings and tail. The plastic plugs in the ends of the square tubes appeared to be setting up to fall out and get lost, so I had to glue them in with foaming polyurethane glue. The seat and back are independently set, rather than geared together. May maximize flexibility, but is a little more of a hassle to set up.

Very sturdy and roles easily. Also well padded and the adjustable positions for the back and seat are great.

I needed a creeper for working in the landing gear bays and under wing areas. A regular creeper is too low. You're always working at full arm extension and it gets tiring very quickly. This creeper allows you to adjust your proximity to whatever is most comfortable, allowing you to be there longer. The quality is outstanding. Good welds, good wheels, enough padding, and easy to adjust. Worth the price. Buy good tools and you only cry once.

I bought this product because it is made in the USA.

The Ultimate Creeper! 4 adjustable heights for the back and 3 for your bottom. It's like a recliner on wheels on your garage floor. Building a Hot Rod and you need to weld on the frame between the body rocker and the frame. Not a lot of space between, not to mention the awkward position you have to get in. At 71 year old, it hurts. This creeper is a God Send.

This creeper is working out very good for me the ONLY issue i have is where you put your rear end i wish it had stiffer foam in that portion it seems to bottom out after a while, other wise it's been a back saver for me.
