Mechanic’s Creeper
A creeper is a low wheeled board that lets a mechanic lie on their back and move easily under a car.
What is Mechanic’s Creeper?
Some convert into a low seat for work on wheels and brakes. Padded headrests improve comfort. Large wheels roll better over uneven floors. A thick mat on the floor is a simple alternative for occasional jobs.
How it works
Castors let the board glide under the car with the mechanic lying on it.
Why it matters for your car
Only use it under cars that are securely supported by stands or a lift. Keep the floor clear of small parts and cables.
