Opentip.com: TRAXION 3-100 Foldable Topside Creeper

 

thanks for posting, I really need one of these things. I hope that deal stays around for a while because it just aint in the budget right now.

 

I'd love to have the folding version, but for what was paid for the one I have I'll keep it.

 

I hear both of you. I just got my tax return in, so there is a little money for a creeper this year No more bruised ribs!

Looking at the web receipt, there is a coupon code of 784073 with an expiration of 4-4-13. That may give everyone a month to get one...or until they run out!

 

Any one know how much weight it will support? I didn't see any specs on it. I would really like one of these but Twiggy I am NOT!

 

Traxion lists the "working weight" as 400lbs.

 

Here's another [LINK]

 

I saw that one Tugly. They want an arm for shipping costs because it is an "oversize" item, so the cost difference is more than made up for.

 

I didn't look very hard at the shipping, I just lobbed the link in the air after looking for specs on the creeper.

Thanks that is what I was looking for, we can do that with some to spare!

 

I wouldn't trade mine for the world. Makes working on these trucks soooo much better.

 

My wife was throwing away her aerobic exercise step platform made of lightweight PVC with foldable legs...Lightbulb came on and I thought it would make a perfect stand-on work platform for the F250 giving me full normal bend over access to the 7.3 just like i would with the car. Fold the legs up and it goes in the shed. It looks almost exactly like the one in this link, only the one I have has foldable legs vs fixed and has a little more height than this one appears to have. Works great for topside work.

Gotta look at other things laying around thru different colored lens sometimes...

 

I have used this topside creeper many times (my buddy has one at his shop I use all the time). It is very sturdy, has many adjustment heights (about every 6-8"), fairly light weight. I would recommend this creeper. Luckily I have access to my buddys shop and creeper anytime I want, but when I build my shop this summer, this will probably be one if my first new tools for the shop. I can't imagine how I would have changed injectors and pulled the turbo without it.

In the picture below my truck was on the hoist with the tires a few inches off the ground and I could still get the creeper high enough to get over the top to the turbo.

 

Gentlemen, I just figured out that coupon code in the post above was intended for me to give to a "friend" for 5% off their next purchase. So someone could get this thing for $208 shipped if they are the first to use it/claim it off this thread. Next poster gets it?????

 

Found this just now....if anyone in the San Antonio area plans on getting one. Or someone who travels to San Antonio...

Topside Creeper - get to those hard to reach places.
