So I roll around on the ground a lot at work. And my then current creeper was falling apart, it had lost 2 wheels, and the plastic was bowing. My friend had dropped off a metal frame creeper. 2 wheels on it had flat spots, so it needed a change.
What I learned about creepers, bigger wheels go over things easier. So that was the plan.
And photo dump.
So basically, I cut the frame where the old wheels were at. I then welded on some new taller casters onto some square tube, and then the square tube to the creeper frame.
How is it working out? Well I have been using it for a few weeks now. It rolls ever so easily, Its fast and smooth. I even use it as a dolly at work. So I am happy with it. Cost? $10 for some new casters.
Creeper!

C-notched creeper.
When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a hippy.

Re: Creeper!
C-notch creeper, that's pretty funny, didn't even think about it.
Probably what's going to fail on this first are the casters. I predict its going to loose a few ball bearings. But that's what happens when you buy Harbor Freight.
