mechanic guys what's a good creeper?
 
I saw there are a few different types.
full plastic
full plastic with padded headrest
metal frame with padding
metal frame with adjustable head rest

i'm looking at this one: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/SUN-8505.html

I can't install a lift in my garage so this is the next best thing... well cheapest anyways.

I think that's too much money. I got one from Harbor Freight a lot cheaper. Had it for years. Works well.

oh brings back memories. we used to street luge with these at work. matco would come out on top everytime we raced this downhill slope behind the building.

my bro has a duralast one from vatozone thats pretty decent. metal frame full padding for under 30 bones.

We've got a cheap plastic one, really uncomfortable.

Definitely go with some padding.

Metal frame with padding. It makes a difference for sure. The $24.99 one.

Metal with padding is a must IMO.

Edit: my response.

Metal frame + padding = win
