This is the Un-Boxing of an AIRCAT Very Low Profile Sculpted Creeper recently On Sale at ToolTopia.com. If you can lay your hands on one of these… Gone will be the days of Banging your Coconut on the Lower Frames as you slide underneath your Cars and Trucks. This is a very sturdy Blow-Molded Solid Plastic Design that supports up to 350 LBS. But... it is a bit touchy to install the wheels on this thing and it is very EZ to FUBAR what should be a job that takes only around 10 Minutes to assemble when done carefully. Pay attention to the “One Image” Directions before installing the Hardware and use a Ratchet with a 10 MM Deep Socket as the only Tools needed for this “Some Assembly Required” Device.
Before you begin to install the wheels... Clean out all (6) of the Holes in the Perimeter Body of the Creeper, as the Plastic Residue “Over-Burden” Chunks will seriously block the assembly process. Tighten the Locking Nuts ALL THE WAY DOWN… BUT... When the turning Stops abruptly, You should Stop, too. Before You Begin To Rock & Roll on this thing... Don't forget to Sweep or Hose Down All of the Dirt and Grit off of your Driveway... as this style of Rubberized Red Plastic Wheel will erase themselves like No. 2 Pencil Erasers during Final Exams as you slide around on anything abrasive.
The Two Tool Trays sitting at Arms Length will help to keep things within reach and the Curved, Shapely Design where you lay will be EZ on the Spine. Your Shoulders will LOVE the Freedom of Movement the Cut-Outs will afford you when reaching in directions that usually involve dislocation of them to get to work areas that are hard to access. At 40" in length... Its a Long, Lean and Beautiful Tool. When my wife saw me "Putting the Music to it..." she surprisingly mentioned,"That Thing Looks Like the Ferrari of Creepers...!" I could not agree more. Have a Rockin’ & Rollin’ Good Time with this Jet Black and Hot-Rod Red looking thing! ;>)

Although the surface end isn't 'new' looking any longer, they are holding up - IIRC, and as you state above - they're made of rubber, not cheap flimsy plastic (I broke a wheel on my other creeper, described below.) One difference - they came installed on mine - ready to use.
