Convenient car creepers and shop seats will get you rolling in the right direction

May 19, 2023

If you have ever found yourself inching on your back over a dirty garage floor to get underneath your car, or feel stiff and sore after a day of hunching in the garage, you may need a new set of wheels. Get relief from crouching, stooping, and crawling with a comfortable car creeper or shop seat. The best ones let you roll into place effortlessly, taking a little extra strain off your body.

Torin Big Red Rolling Garage/Shop Creeper

For a basic, affordable car creeper, you can't go wrong with Torin's Big Red Rolling Garage Creeper. Its six rotating casters slide effortlessly across concrete surfaces, so you can wheel yourself into exactly the right spot underneath your car. Its thick cushion is comfortable, the headrest adjusts in four positions, and the steel frame can hold up to 300 pounds.

WEN Pneumatic Rolling Mechanic Stool

No need to squat down and feel your thighs burning when shop stools are as affordable as the WEN Pneumatic Rolling Mechanic Stool. Just like with an office chair, a lever mounted underneath the seat allows for easy height changes from 15 to 20 inches. A tray built into the bottom of the tool ensures that your tools and spare parts are always close at hand. This shop seat can support up to 300 pounds.

Pro-Lift C-9100 Foldable Z Creeper

If you have limited space in your garage or a limited budget, a creeper that converts into a shop seat is an ideal solution. The Pro-Lift C-9100 Foldable Z Creeper combines both functions into one unit. You don't need any tools to transform it from a shop seat into a garage creeper, and it has cushy padding in both modes. The heavy-duty frame is rated for up to 450 pounds.

Omega Low Profile Z-Creeper

The Omega Low Profile Z-Creeper also converts between a creeper and a seat. In addition to transforming to a z-shaped shop stool that's high off the ground, this unit can also turn into a low-sitting seat with a high back you can lean against. This grants extra relief when you have a lengthy job that's close to the ground. This creeper can hold up to 450 pounds.

Mychanic Tool Creeper - Rolling Tool Tray & Organizer

Using a car creeper isn't very convenient if you constantly have to slide around to get another tool or part. The Mychanic Tool Creeper is a 20-inch-by-20-inch rolling tool tray that ensures your essentials can always be within arm's reach. Keep your tools and parts separate with the three storage compartments, and pull this tool tray from any side using one of its three handles.
