be my luck...and probably the same for some others... this stupid thing would short out on some coolant, oil, brake fluid, etc dripping on it and crush me up against the bottom of a truck... bad enough i have to worry about a truck falling down... now the worry is falling up too...

and if i ever spent as much money as that monstrosity must cost on a creeper... i wouldnt belong working under a 7.3 anyway. this is a chevy owner kinda thing...

The sad part about that statement is that I think all GM trucks should come from the factory with their own hydraulic jack and jack stands because even a guy my size (small) can't roll under one on a creeper without jacking it up first.


Want to change the oil?
Jack it up.

Want to look under it to find your kid's softball?
Jack it up.

Drop a socket underneath while working on the top side?
Jack it up.


At least with a Super Duty (even the 2wd ones for the most part), it's easy to roll under one without jacking it up first.

Definitely a neat tool, and I remember seeing it on the show invention USA couple months back, thought it was one of the best ideas on that show in a while. Pricepoint wasn't too ridiculous either.

I have to say I would never use this thing ever! The majority of the work I do is inside my engine bay. This is of no use there. I can't imagine this thing taking off at all.

I'm sure it would be so expensive that not many would want to shell out the cash for one. But there are people like me, people who have two bad knees and a bad back, that would be very interested in owning one.

I know when I saw it they were hoping for a price point around $1000.
