Traxion ProGear Automotive Creeper with Wide Body, Low Profile, and All-Terrain 5" Casters

Beav: So typical... nice creeper, sturdy frame and bed, with pretty cheap wheels. "Oh, it works great in gravel!" No, it doesn't even work 'great' on old asphalt. I wouldn't expect these wheels (on typical caster frames) to last more than a few drops to the pavement (don't let anyone borrow it because you know that will be the first thing they do to it) before they are permanent junk and needing to be replaced with something of value. But who am I kidding? It's almost impossible to find a creeper with good, out-of-the-box casters, no matter the price. All I'm saying is don't be swayed by someone saying the casters are great, they are typical and, at best, HF quality. That is the reality.

Brian G: I have to use this to crawl under tractor trailers on oftentimes rougher terrain, and while this creeper does that pretty well, the (certainly comfortable) cushion is too thick compared to my jeepers creeper, which has none of course, but it puts me almost too high to slide under the axles and differential casings, etc. If this had a hard but lower platform like the 'jeepers creeper' with these wheels, it would be a perfect combination.

Smartcows: The casters are smooth turning and 5" in wheel diameter. Head rest is comfortable. The part of the cushion that your butt rests on feels thin.
Some people complained about the casters not turning easily but there must have been a bad batch because mine were very good quality.
If your floor is rough, try this one.

Adal Cardenas: Al no tener soporte a los lados en ocasiones giras y sales volando hacia afuera de la cama.
Pero tiene la ventaja de que es muy fácil de mover y girar por sus grandes ruedas.

Troy M.: First time I used it one of the wheels fell off while I was under my truck. Was not fun trying to roll out from underneath on 3 wheels!! Does not say "ProGear" on padding so this could be some sort of knock off. Once I put wheel back on and tightened the rest of them it's been not bad. It does glide on the shop floor really nice!! But for what you pay you would think it should be ready to go!!

Roy C: Best creeper I've ever had. Rolls over cords like they're not even there.

glp: Sturdy, easy rolling wheels, do not expect to get under any car or light truck unless you have it raised sky high! Too bad the headrest does not tilt.

JKH: I'm going to start off by qualifying myself to lend credibility to my review. I just turned 65 years old and I've been a shade tree mechanic ever since I got my first car. I'm also a certified, licensed Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic & Inspector on Airplanes and Helicoptors. Now, of all the creepers I've owned over the years, this is hands down the best one I've ever owned. It's the first one I've had that I could sit on the very end of it and not have it tip up or roll away from me.Most of them are difficult for an old man to get off as they want to flip up or roll away. The platform on this fits my body very well. I'm 6'2" and I weigh 250 pounds. The larger than average wheels don't get in the way at all and they roll across the garage floor with ease. Now that I've got this and know how good it is, I personally think it's worth over $100. Some reviews say the wheels are too big to go under their car. If you stop for a second and think about it, your body is higher than any wheels on any creeper when you lay down on it, so how could the wheels be to high if your body slides under the vehicle? I've rated this a five but I'd give it a a ten if I could. I JUST LOVE IT! Jim...

G. Tamindijza: Before this creeper, I had 2 other ones, a big box store one and a $140 SnapOn basic creeper. Both of those had issues with rolling and kneeling on them, so I decided to give this one a try, after talking to a few guys and calling Traxion directly to ask about a few details.

First of all, I am 6'2", 235lb, and even with my weight fully on it, it rolls unbelievably smooth and easy. Wheels go over small stuff, grime, cardboard, small hoses and pipes and occasional pebbles on the shop floor. Wheels do have a ball bearing on top (swivel) and a sleeve bearing for the axle, and are big comparing to other standard creepers.

Frame is a perimeter type, with one big oval underneath the pad with no cross beams. It is sturdy, back is made out of plywood not particle board, and 4 arms with wheels are welded to the frame. I did not notice any issues with the paint as the previous reviewer mentioned, in fact, it appears to be a very nice finish - it withstood rolling over plastic and sheet metal scrap with no scratches that went all the way through to the steel. I guess only time will tell how well paint lasts, but to me, it looks very well and durable.

Pad itself is the...
