If you need to work outside on rough surfaces consider the "Bone".

Subject: mechanic's creepers

My Son, age 12, has made the case that if I expect his help working on our '84 Vanagon and doing the wiring under our model railroad tables, he is entitled to a mechanic's creeper for Christmas.

What do you folks suggest for a creeper or two (maybe Dad should get one for himself)?

Thanks in advance.

John
