Bone Product Description

The Bone is our first and most popular creeper model, an American made product to ease the woes of mechanics worldwide. Originally called the Captain Creeper when it was invented in 1974, its unique shape led it to be renamed as The Bone?  when it went on sale to the public in 1996. Since then it has become a standard for quality in the creeper industry, and is widely asked for by name. Most importantly, however, is the fact that all of our creepers are American made, in a world where so many formerly American products have had their production moved overseas.

The Bone features a uniquely shaped body which cradles the user between the wheels only an inch or so above the ground. The big, easy rolling wheels are positioned outboard to provide a strong, stable working platform that can?t tip or flip the user. The rib-reinforced body is molded of a state-of-the-art, engineering grade co-polymer that resists the effects of common solvents, so cleaning is quick and easy at the end of the job. The smooth, comfortable one-piece design has no cracks, corners or other pinch points, and the outboard wheel pods prevent tipping and flipping. The Bone? body is a patented design which allows the use of large diameter wheels with specially formulated tires that roll easily over all sorts of obstacles, including rough floors, drop cords and air lines, loose parts and even tools and floor grates. The wheels are fastened to the creeper body with four 5/16-inch diameter. thru-bolts so they can?t pull tear out or break off in any common use situation.

One of the most important features of the Bone is its wheels. Ordinary creeper wheels are a conventional creeper?s weakest point. They?re too small, so they get hung up or stopped by even the tiniest obstacles, and they have a real knack for tearing out or breaking off at the worst moment. To add insult to injury, the replacement wheels can cost almost as much as a new creeper.

The Bone has custom-molded, 5-1/8-inch diameter wheels with oil-impregnated center bearings and specially formulated, molded-in-place 1-inch wide tires that roll even easier and last even longer than the previous design. The heavy American made cad-plated steel caster frames have dual race ball bearing swivels and are thru-bolted to the creeper body. In addition, the winged design adds form to function. Best of all, the wheels are guaranteed for the life of the creeper (against manufacturer defects)!

The Bone is not strictly limited to the automotive market. Recently, the Industrial market has picked it up for use on machine maintenance, and they can even be found at amusement parks for inspecting roller coasters!

The Bone is 47-inch long, 25-1/2-inch wide, has about 1-3/4-inch ground clearance and weighs 18 lbs. The wheels have a limited warranty for the life of the creeper (against manufacturer defects), and the body carries a limited one-year warranty.

 

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dale Adams Enterprises 6031 The B1 Mechanics Creeper

Customer Review: What a creeper should be.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have had several creepers over the years and frankly hated every one of them to the point of just getting rid of them. Seemed like the smallest obstruction would stop the creeper....a small pebble, crack in the pavement, the cord from a trouble light, etc. And since we all don't have glassy-smooth epoxy coated floors, typical creepers just didn't work well.

I decided to try this one because I knew it would be really low to the ground, light weight, and had really tall wheels for rolling over small obstructions. Well it is awesome. I totally love it. They really meant it when they said it will roll over an extension cord....I can't believe it, but it really does. The action of the casters is really smooth too....turns and maneuvers really easily.

My build...I am 6'2" and about 200 lbs. I fit the creeper really well, and it is really comfortable.

Upgrades....I added some fender washers under the bolts, when assembling the wheels to the body of the creeper, just to provide some added stability for the bolts. Probably not required, but I am rather particular and thought this would make it a little stronger.
