The Creeper

Well, that is a very stylish device to get underneath ones vehicle.

Fancy LED lights, magnetic tool perches and a parking break all in a stylish laminated wood chassis...very chic...


Two points-
The person who could afford to buy it really are never going to get under their car, are they? I mean, even if they could, most cars these days are too low for that without some ramps...not counting SUV's, which I don't think ever actually get serviced anyway.

The person who would actually use this thing is probably more likely to toss an old scrap of cardboard on the ground, fill a shirt pocket with tools and have at it...speaking from personal experience.


So, nice design exercise, I guess?

I am not in the market for designer garage accessories.
There is probably some Porsche dude, with a tiled garage floor and stainless cabinets that needs one of these...to lean against the wall next to the shelf of scale models of his actual cars...


The best thing about my cardboard version is that it also catches the oil drips, too...
Double the practical uses.
