Still waiting for my cheapo to die so I can get a Bone...

 

Still using cardboard! Now that's cheapo.

 

I'm still on cardboard too, but some day when I do buy a decent creeper it will be the bones one. I've looked at them closely & they are very nice. Maybe I'll get one for my birthday.

 

Hard to beat the 16.95 Harbor Freight Special.

But I would love to have the Bone!

Just need some benevolent soul to send one to me.

 

For what it's worth - Jeremy (sarcux - owner of SprogII) said on NAM to send him a message and he can hook fellow MINIacs up with a good deal... his family owns the Bone company.

 

Just one question, what is it???

Never mind, I clicked on the link and self-educated

 

Like the Bone!!!!!

 

cardboard? That's luxury.. I sit my bony ass down on the cold concrete. Nothing quite as fun as washing oil out of your hair and pulling rocks and dirt off of your shoulders.

 

Alrighty, I was asked to chime in on this thread. Never knew these forums existed? A new alternative to NAM?

Anywho...

Honestly, if you're over 5'11" tall, your shoulders might feel a bit cramped on the Bone & Rough Rider. I'm 6'0 myself, and I much prefer the Bone-ster (yes, I'm suggesting to you the lowest price creeper, hehe). The wheel pods on the Bone-ster don't come up very high, so your shoulders have more room to work.

However, the Bone-ster won't do the rough surfaces and obstacles nearly as well as the other two will, since its wheels are only 3" instead of 5".

It's all a matter of preference, really.

I know they're expensive, but I'll put it into perspective. The cost of making just ONE of our Rough Rider casters is about equal to what it costs to manufacture an entire one of the cheap Chinese creepers. We're a 100% American company, right down to the raw materials and labor. Sure, it costs a bit more... but it's worth it in the long run... and we have a pretty nice warranty.

Okay, enough from me on this. Hate to sound like I'm selling.

 

^^^Hey Jeremy, how you doing, eh:cornut:

Dooooooooooooooooood! Long time no see! Not bad here, how YOU doin'?

I haven't made it to the dragon in ages - but from what I've heard, it doesn't sound like I've missed much. The glory days have passed, apparently.

 

Umm..what about us larger folks..not over 6' but not exactly lightweight either. Ya know, broad in the shoulders, broad in the middle and well just over all not svelte.

 

I'd rather buy an America made product if possible.

 

I've had my old wooden creeper for about 40 years now. In that time I've revarnished it a couple of times, recovered and replaced the foam in the headrest and since the casters are all metal all I've had to do to them is keep them lubed. Still looks good and works as well as ever. Tools last if you take care of them........

 

I am cardboard user myself, but that bone-ster looks pretty good.
