Default Battery powered creeper

I watched a video on these a few years back and decided it would be an awesome tool for someone in the auto business. After reading a thread where an individual said he was limited by arthritis in his hips I decided to post this for you fellows to look at. If I've seen it, most of you have but maybe not everyone. No idea on price but for the person who's wealth is not a problem but back or hips or knees are,,,,,,,,,,,,

I suspect you better have very deep pocket and plenty of ground clearance.

Wow!!!!!!!! I didn't see that or I wouldn't have even posted. That's complete bs at that price and it will also never take off imo. Maybe when the patent expires someone will make a cheaper version. I figured 2-3k would be plenty of profit and affordable enough that some folks would try it. 30grand lol.

I do like the adjustable headrest. My neck/back can't take laying completely flat and holding my head up.

My way around the problem of old age mobility was to put two Bend Pac 4 post lifts in my garage. Went to the site for the creeper and it doesn't list a price you have to contact them.. BUT I bet it wouldn't be to difficult to make with some Hyd. cylinders, a bit of fabrication and welding. With all the micro devices available it would be a neat project for someone who needed one.


the posted above # 9 HF creeper would be a good starting place for making one

That would be great, but do not have the skills, money, space. Am in the A hobby on a shoestring budget. Thanks for the info/advice
