Review: Big Red Creeper Seat

I have two of those from O'Reily auto parts with various names on them. Make sure you keep the casters tight, they tend to loosen then break. One has already crapped out so I keep it for spare parts. Yes, they will put you on your backside in a heartbeat. Once it happens you'll be sure not to do it again. I still use the one that works pretty often but I'll put the next one I buy together with Loctite.

I have an old office chair that has no arms on it, I replaced that with the one the OP posted here. What I like about it, is its adjustable for working on all kinds of cars or trucks, its stable on the smooth cement.

Bet you can find one on Craigslist in the free section or a cheap one at a office supply place.

I actually have a used office supply store 2 minutes from my house. Thanks for the idea!

I got me a whiteside mfg creeper seat and love it. Made in the USA and rolls easily over uneven surfaces just fine.

yours and rzatch's snapon sound nice. maybe one day ill spring for one.

is it the wheel design that keeps it from tipping when it hits the expansion joints? id guess youd need rubber soft wheels.

nobody here has purchased the bucket dolly with the seat cushion?

Saw IID post over on AGO and he had some seat that you could lean forward on and it had a spot for your knees. Looked to be pretty comfortable too and there was an option for a part to attach they you could rest your chest on. Seemed like it would be good for lower areas when detailing

Rocket --

Are you thinking about the Racatac ?

Dave Saunders had one in some of his pics a few years ago, some people still sell them, bet you can find it with google or amazon.com..

That's it. I couldn't think of the name and when I tried to look for it I couldn't find it.
 
I have that stool as well. Got it at HF for about $20. The wheels do catch, but any chair could. Definitely a great deal. The office chair is a good idea. Have an extra one in my spare room. Sometimes when playing poker I sit on it backward to rest my chest on the back rest. Could work the same when polishing. For the lower panels I use one of the foam pads you find in the garden department to save the knees.

I use the simple round pedestal stool on wheels that has five or six wheels. They are a little more stable than a 4 wheeler and they are only $20 if you catch them right at Harbor Freight.

I got the same one from harbor freight, it seems to do the job for me. I also have a foam pad to use when I work on lower portions of the car on my knees.
