I use a big piece of card board for a Creeper, the one I have now is from a file cabinet. Folded over, for double thickness. I like it because most of the time I don't have to jack the Vehicle, can dig in when I need to torque a bolt, when it gets dirty I either toss it or turn it inside out.

I finally got a refridgerator box and I think I like it more than a creeper now because I can easily slide around under my axles without the truck on jacks, it's better for my low clearance Z28 as well. I like when I'm done working I can just pull the box out and dump all the tool on my workbench with it. Thanks everyone for all the responses.

I used to use a blanket (don't have concrete to work on) and always had to worry about getting oil, atf etc. on it. Now I use cardboard. Just go to the local appliance store and get a washer, dryer, or fridge box. They will gladly let you "haul them off".

I collect sections of "pool liner" (the heavy outer plastic surrounding above-ground pools) and cut up old bedliners to lie on.
Bedliner sections are especially comfortable, and crumbs/hardware/trash fall into the corrugations instead of sticking up.

Hi all!!
For several years now (since I injured my back) I've used a carpet 'remnant' that I got from my local carpet store.
The piece I have is about 3 ft. wide and 6-1/2 ft long.
When I work on the cars and truck, this feels gooooood on the old back.
(Especially when on cold concrete.)
Best part about it is when I'm done, I roll it up, put a bungie cord around it, and hang it on the garage wall with my ramps.
(Getting it for less than 5 bucks. . . helps too!!)

In my drinkin' days, I'd been known to take a snooze or two while working under my car (the "come-to" is always bad when you start to sit up and ther's 3500 pounds of El Camino 10" above your head!!)! I'd have to find the coin to go for this one, but it's still too short for us tall boys! Thisis one sweet creeper! (It reminds me of the rescue stretchers I've seen used in mountain rescues) Just one more reason I'll have to get a spool gun so I can weld aluminium. Maybe I can fabricate one from chrome moly (which I've never tried welding). If I made it out of steel, it would weigh 50 pounds!
