<VV> Creeper crap

[Hank Kaczmarek]

All
Harry is right here.
But if you need one cause you don't have the 2K for a lift, or some place to 
put it, Most of the Mechanics at the last dealership I worked with had 
creepers off the tool trucks. Snap On, Mac, Matco, all offer several 
designs, and if they begin to fall apart (which I have not seen) you can 
hand it back to them for another.. Their seats with tool tray beneath held 
my 300 plus behind when I was dusting low shelves and preparing for 
inventory. So check with your tool man for a creeper than wasn't made in 
China.
Also a good source for High quality Jackstands, Floor Jacks, etc..Pricey, 
but they stand behind their stuff

Regards
HANK
