OT Work Platform at Lowes

These go on sale from time to time. They are awsome for engine access. Solid. With an old couch cushion, almost like a top side creeper!

Tons of other uses around the house also.

These were taken at a FTE meet last year and you can see how many people brought or had them for reference. I have one from recommendations here and worked great.

Maybe @Tugly can rant about his bore scope camera.

For those looking for something lightweight (easy to throw in the back), tall (for trucks with lifts), and stable (after all - you're leaning over a hood):

Rubbermaid 3-Step UltraLight Aluminum Step Stool




I've tried the other stuff, but this one is my favorite outside the shop.

I Don't have a cool picture to show off, But you should try a Little giant Ladder set up with a Piece of plywood and pad....It fits right over the Engine compartment and I replaced my uppies right quick. Okay, maybe not Right quick, but it was a hell of a lot faster than laying on top of the engine. My Opinion.

These are great for those of us that don't want to shell out the $$$ for one of these.

7 Buck$Zooka rounds for an overhead creeper that doesn't fold? That's akin to a treadmill in the livingroom - an expensive space-hog coat rack most of the time. I looked at the folder that was "available summer of 2015" - it isn't. Are there any folding Over-The-Engine creepers made in USA?

We bought one of those ladders to keep in our camper to climb up on the top bunk with. Triple bunks..

Can't beat them Werner work platforms. I have 2 and picked up 2 more on this deal.

The first time I saw these was at a GTG a few years ago. I thought cool, but I am a contractor and have all kinds of ladders and scaffolding. Now I can't live without them at work or at home.

I went to the local lowes this afternoon and apparently we can't get them here in WV. Associate said they are not in stock and I couldn't even buy no and pick up later. That's a real bummer because I was going to buy one a couple months ago and passed. Then I see this deal and can't get one. Guess I'll keep standing on a cooler for awhile.

And you won't find them at Lowe's for the rest of the year.
Not the drop dead, black friday price, but local Sherwin Williams should have them around $40.

I need to go get another one.

Highly recommended (if you can find one left), especially at this price!

According to the website there is 18 available at a store 30 miles away from me. Will have to check it out Sunday.
