It's nice but, where are the cup holders... I'd like to have one however, just like most of my tools, when ever I needed it, I wouldn't be able to find it...

There is a point in everyone's life, between, "It would just be in the way" and "I need that !".

No doubt, I would need a football helmet...

All joking aside, getting up and down while working on my old vehicles helps to keep me going and it is good therapy. Both physically and mentally...

Thanks for that site! In the 'process' now of locating something for 94 yr old father in law...for motivation to 'stick around' for awhile longer. Looks like they make lots of differing 'tools'. Will check it out closely!

I know a guy that has a knotted rope hanging to the floor from the ceiling in the center of his garage just to pull up on off the creeper.
