Where to find a creeper to support me in an engine bay?

Any names on who makes a tall "creeper like tower" I can buy to help me do engine bay work instead of leaning over or squating in the engine bay? I have seen them in the past. Any and all leads Mooocho appreciated!

Thanks

Do a search on google for "topside creeper" and you will find a bunch. Just take your pic on which one you want.

The Matco dealer that comes to my shop has access to one that you might be interested in as well. I talked to him about your need and he can get you one.

Thanks for all the input! I thought of making one my self. Due to time constraints I will likely buy one.

Thanks Again!

Hmmmm, where's my Christmas list?

I hate standing on the tire or trying to balance on the front bumper and killing my knees.

Paid for itself the first time I used it!

I bought the Topside Creeper from REL and it was here in 5 days from the day I ordered it and it was, and is, one of the best tools for me working in my
(99 F350 4X4) engine bay! Hands down! Should have bought one a long time ago!!!! I had my turbo in my hands, extended out to reach, while I hooked up the EBPV actuating arm and never did my back complain or even know what work was going on! This for me is a must have tool when I am in the engine bay! Was on sale for $199
And yes no affiliation wat-so-ever!
