OT but need creeper input
I blew out my cheaper Harbor Freight creeper tonight and going to finally going to buy a new GOOD creeper. Looking for input. Bone, Snap-On, etc. I really want one with big wheels so drop cords and bolts don't throw the brakes on.

I am curious to see what the replies are since I am tired of cheap creepers myself. For my work in my garage and on the road I bought one of these
It works great since I cant fit under my titan tank when on a creeper but I can on this. Fits great behind the truck seat too for traveling, you never know when we get to crawl underneath the truck to replace an exhuast sensor on the road

I have one of the Craftsman Wooden Creepers, not sure you can buy a new anymore but it is my all time favorite. I also have a high dollar Snap-On low profile one that hardly ever gets used.
This is like the one I have.

This one looks nice, kind of expensive though. Luckily I don't need one or one to hold that much weight. 
But it looks like it would function well.

Friggen creepers never roll when/where you want them to and if you're on one and try to put any pressure on a wrench or ratchet, the friggen creeper rolls away with you...
I also use a Padded mat from Summit Racing which folds in half and stores easily.
