Well after almost 25-30 years or so my old craftsman heavy duty creeper has bit the dust. Most of you are still young enough and garage savvy, what’s the best or very good creeper out now? Mac, jeggs, Williams, Napa , snapon? I want a metal framed 6 wheel one, not the plastic preform ones. I just can’t see the preform plastic ones holding up and I’ll be honest I kneel on mine at times. What creeper do you recommend that will last another 20 years. Not worried about price up to $250 or so. Something good!

I know this isn't an direct answer to you question, however, why do you think the Preformed plastic one won't hold up ?

I have a six wheeled preformed plastic creeper that my Son and I have used in the shop for ten years. It has held up very well.

My Son is 6'5" and weighs 260 pounds. While we don't abuse the creeper we aren't gentle with it either.

My neighbor has a NAPA creeper that has served him long and well. Good luck which ever you decide.

I have this. For many years... There are similar ones.
I glued a piece of gardening kneel pad for the headrest. (It originally came with something that was bumpy. It didn't feel good)
I has pretty big wheels... Rolls right over a lot of things that stops the wheel on a regular creeper. (Like an extension cord or the stress joints in my concrete) Also, keep an eye out for your kids stabbing the pad with a screwdriver...lol
