I have a cheapo (Harbor Freight, from before I declared a moratorium on them) mechanics creeper.
It has only been used a few times since I'm not a mechanic, just someone who can't afford mechanics.
I figured the fabric cover would fail first and when it did, I would think about reuipholstering the pads or not.
I got it out the other day to get under the shop bathroom sink to attack a fitting with a torch, the alternative being the cold tile/cement floor. Fine.
But the cheap PVC tires on the casters are starting to crack:
More copies of the exact same wheel are readily available, but a set of six new real creeper casters with PU tires, with the right mounting stud, is north of $40. I had a Craftsman creeper before this one. I ran over it with a car because I'm a genius. >_<
