Traxion3-700 ProGear Foldable Topside Automotive Engine Creeper Large

i had to replace a bad injector on my dodge ram 4x4. I did some of the work before buying this creeper and it was a pain (literally) to work on the truck. I alternated between standing on the bumper and leaning over the engine, sitting in the engine bay, laying on the radiator support. None were comfortable and I could only sustain the positions for a short time. I put the job on hold and ordered this creeper and the second half of the job went so much better.The package came in good condition. I ordered from tool topia and they used a freight company to deliver the creeper. The box had a small amount of damage, but nothing seemed missing or damaged once I opened the box. Assembly was easy, I did add a few washers as other reviewers mention and suggest. I assembled the creeper by myself and it was very easy. I do agree as another reviewer mentions that the pins to hold the pad on the top are a pain. the holes don't line up left-to-right, so pin wants to go in at an angle and not line up to the 2nd hole. Since the pin is short, you have less leverage to push the pin sideways to force it to line up to the second hole. I'll probably get a longer pin will allow me to more easily align it to the second hole.I found the hight of the creeper to be perfect for my truck. once i got up there, i had both hands free and had a perfect overhead view of the engine. getting up and down was easy when i had to go get another tool or part to continue the job. Now i am looking forward to doing more maintenance on my truck as this creeper is definitely going to make the jobs much easier.It would be nice if the creeper could be stored upright. If the creeper could stand upright on its own that would be a bonus. The only negative now is the storage of the creeper when not in use but i can live with that.

Very high quality. Well built and easy to install. Rolls around smoothly and brakes lock pretty solid. Only critique would be a little bit more padding, as your chest can get pretty bruised from the metal frame pushing through the padding when you use it for long periods of time.

The creeper showed up and it took me a day or so to get around to "assembly". The box was intact however you can tell Amazon beat it up pretty well during transport. Cut the box open on the corners, and then cut the tie wraps holding it all together. That was good. No bent metal pieces to deal with. On the other hand, loose bolts all over the place. 1 of the bolts was missing which was odd since there were no holes in the box. No big deal as I have a well-stocked stainless bolt/washer/nut bins in the shop. The assembly was pretty straightforward.Opened the hood on my F350 and shoved it under the nose, and climbed the ladder. Make sure you lock the wheels, as it will move on you. It did for me. I weigh 250lbs (114kg) however, it seems stable once you get into position. Make sure you have tool and parts trays on hand on the engine area as there isn't any tool storage while in the air. There are cord management hooks for your extension cords however, if you plan on having the creeper mobile while working then I probably wouldn't use them.

Al the pins lined right up, no assembly issues at all.Padding sucks, but easy to fix with a pad.I must say this is a life saver, doing 6.0 oil coolers and turbo jobs just became much easier on my belly. Also used it on my lifted 7.3 it works for stock or lifted trucks.Easy to climb on and get the job done.. worth every penny. I weigh 240 and had zero worries.

I was torn with giving this a 4 or 3 star review and ultimately I had to give this a 3 star review.ProLooks fantasticCasters and wheel locks work greatStableConsWeldsAdjustabilityCord controlPlatformAs stated above I wanted to give this thing a 4 star rating but the amount of manipulation and added parts I have to add to get things right that should be basic common sense stuff is what killed it. First if they had added 8 more washers and 2 plastic washers, 4 for the outrigger to spread the bolt head pressure out some would have been fantastic (I saw this and added my own). Then when attaching the ladder assembly to the out rigger the same thing with a plastic washer to act as a bushing of sorts to keep the outrigger and ladder assembly from binding up and just rubbing the finish off of each other (I also saw this as an error and added my own). I'll also put this here since basic assembly stuff was just cut for what ever reason ($1.86 in washers from Lowes). Some of the welds are something you'd expect from someone who just took a class in welding and was practicing as well as some of the extra supports were merely tac-welded into place (it would do you well to keep an eye on them).Moving along the assembly the upper ladder section rungs should have been used on the bottom part for the sake of better footing and foot fatigue.The deck securing holes needed to be adjusted slightly as well as the bolts holding the deck needed to be properly tightened (it came pre assembled with 1 bolt on each side being loose. The fit of the deck on it's support leaves a lot to be desired as well, it should be a snug fit not the little bit of slop that it has while i doubt it would cause a failure it's putting added pressure on the bolts instead of the structure (another thing I'll keep my eye on). The deck is probably about as uncomfortable as it could possibly be unless they wanted to stuff it with shards of glass, rusty nails, and maybe Bees. Do yourself a favor and order a throw pillow to lay on top of it I'm guessing as a safety concern its designed hollow so people won't stand on it but the padding is without a doubt completely inadequate.Adjusting the height is half a battle I had to slightly adjust the triangle on the bottom that the pin goes into to prevent collapse as it was slightly tweeked enough that the pin would not slide through and through. The cord control will work with regular power tools you'll have to fight them to get an air line if you had to keep the hose off the work project.It is stable you never feel like it's going to fall forward (once the deck wedges it's self to it's final resting spot) or tip over even when reaching to the left and right while removing or driving fasteners or using a pry-bar. The colors and finish of the paint give it a super premium look. The wheels roll and track very well and the wheel locks work fantastic with an audible pop when they engage and disengage.a little wider foot rungs would have been a huge + put they are just okay for what they are.

this does everything it says . it works great for those vechiles that are so high. the only negative i can find is the padding , its not very thick and the pain you saved from your back you just put it on your chest with imprint of creeper. have to install a little more padding up there and it will be fine
