I see a recall coming for the creeper that loses wheels. Harbor Freight is gonna take another hit.

My wife bought me one of these last year and only used it a couple of times because I usually just use a sheet of cardboard, but the center wheel on the left side busted off so I am in the market for new one.

My previous creeper was one of those. The bottom center would drag if I wasn't positioned on it right (I'm only 6' and 200lbs) After a few years one of the wheels got tore up when it got stuck in a crack in my driveway.

I couldn't find reolacement wheels for it, so I bought a Bone and pulled the remaining wheels off the Harbor Freight one (in case I ever needed a use for them) before throwing the board in the trash.

I still have a couple of the wheels, spacers, and nuts if you want them. Send me a PM with your addy if so.

I was considering getting a Bone but was concerned about the distance between the wheel humps. I am 6'4" and will need to fit between them.
Get the Bone-ster model. That's actually the one I have. It's flatter shaped and not as big wheel humps in the corners. Wheels are a bit smaller than the Bone, like 3" or 4" instead of 5", but still rolls great.

Yeah. I call BS on the 300# load rating. I'm 6-1 and 275.

Appreciate the offer for the wheels, but the wheel itself was fine. The plastic tore out where the wheel attaches.

I like the big poly wheels It was great rolling around under the rig this last weekend and also when folded in to the stool. The wheels rolled so easily I was a little frustrated when I was trying to torque something under the rig and the creeper would roll away from the pressure.

I thought about the Bone creeper but was worried about the same thing. I am 6'4" as well. I also knew I wanted a new stool because the rollers on my 30 year old Snap On stool were trashed. So, I got this Pro-Lift creeper that has great wheels, very comfortable on the ground and it folds to a chair as well. There is a spring loaded lock pin that holds it in either a lay down or a stool position.
