I have a metal framed one that you can turn into a seat - very handy when working on things on the engine stand - and useful under the vehicles as a creeper.

SubscriberYeah - got a hoist, but I need to put a jack under a diff to change some half shafts and figured it'd be easier at ground level.Originally Posted by d@rk51d3
Geez Spudboy, I thought you'd have a hoist tucked somewhere.
I found those groovy "Bone" creepers. Not cheap at $245 but they look well made.
Ive got a blowy I don't use it every day because my land rover is just so reliableI weigh 86kg Its easier to manoeuvre easy to hang up on a wall after your finished with it,cost $30. So unless u got $2800.00 buy a 4 poster second hand. The steel frames are yes more durable but awkward to handle but $30 bucks sold it for me. My mate has steel one and he prefers mine. (also easier to carry inside to the bedroom my hand brake loves it more than me.)
good luck

SubscriberI have a steel one that I got for $45 from gasweld. Its great. Steel is stronger, and longer lasting.
...not sure where you are going with that!

the american web site shows a bone at $145 so i cant see you getting one for less.these are years old.
the metal frame trolleys we have are years old with ply screwed to them.the casters require attention but the cost is easier to throw in bin.
I ran over one with a truck and poped the wheel through-so i might fix it.
I thought $80.
I have a kincrome trolley that folds into seat.OK on flat cement.
the round stool with gas strut on 5 casters in briliant.

I've got a metal frame cheapie - $25 on 1/2 off sale at supacheap some time ago. Drove over it with the 90, and the frame is still good - several wheels got bent. I could technically replace these...
... off the subject, I love the "bone" marketing at work - Is she wearing heels?
not sure what sort of bone they're advertising?!!
The plastic ones are crap. Mine lasted 2 uses and the wheels snapped off . The bolts are weak, they sag in the middle. THEY DONT LIKE rolling over expansion joints in concrete. And mine cracked the plastic.
You get what you pay for

Subscriberwhat he said.
however the steel framed ones have their drawbacks, we use them at work, ensure the wheels are secured properly as they are crap also.
it is also very easy to run over yourself, as the centre wheels like to grab that bit of your arm near your elbow,
by the living jesus that hurts!
but anything less than 100 bucks will be cheap imported stuff,
snap on have good ones that are too expensive, but they work.
