I've burned through quite a few of them. Just aren't sturdy enough for really hard use on uneven surfaces. A couple of years ago, I was finishing a project in the shipping yards inspecting container chassis. Killed one creeper, bought another halfway through the project, killed it on the last day of work. The wheels just crap out, the mount for the wheels breaks etc. On the last day with the second creeper I worked with it missing one corner wheel. Just absolutely a miserable day. I was so utterly pissed that I threw it in a dumpster on my way out of the last rail yard.
Got back to my hotel and ordered a dog bone from Summit racing. I got up early and drove home from hell-A and the creeper was already at my door.
I've horribly abused this one and it is still perfect. I've run it over rip-rap, dropped it out of the truck, etc. Just keeps going. I'm going to buy a second one - the version that is for gravel. Less clearance but the fatter wheels will roll over gravel, rocks, dirt, etc.
Plus, and this is a BIG plus - I've never gotten my hair caught in the wheels. I really hate that...
