"People come in all shapes and sizes, so I'm placing a cinder block on the creeper to represent a person shaped like a cinder block." 😂
Exactly what I came to comment 😂😂😂
Funniest quote of 2024!! 😂
Took the words out of my mouth 😂 so funny
As a cinder block shaped person I appreciatehim considering us when testing.
Most men are brick built
Your non-sponsored unbiased reviews are solid gold and greatly appreciated. We have made many purchases based on your reviews and have yet to be disappointed. In a world of greed and corruption, this cannel stands out as a prime example of honesty and integrity. Thank you so very much, Todd. Keep it up.
Well said, I agree
Every year for Christmas I ask for his high rated things to replace what I already have. oof
He gets paid with those links in the description. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. He is putting the time and the energy to do the work so why not get something in return for your work.
Aye aye

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!
The project farm drinking game: when he starts a scentence with AND, you take a shot.
YOU WILL DIE OF ALCOHOL POISONING.
I love this guy, and his impartial reviews. It doesn’t bother me, but I certainly noticed it!😊
.... Do i drink? Do i stay sober? IDK what the game is.
I’ve really been loving the additional comedy and sarcasm in your reviews. Makes them all the more entertaining
Thanks!
Agreed!!
Finally, someone was able to recreate my cinderblock shaped body. Thank you Todd!
Lol Thanks for watching!

please compare hammerdrills.
sds plus, sds max.
I picked up a very large log with my tractor recently and heard your voice in my head "very impressive!" Great channel, anytime I'm considering a purchase I come here first to see if you've done a review.
Thanks for sharing!
😂
I will say either “very impressive” or sometimes “we’re gonna test that!” 😂
Test the 2 icon creepers they are better than all , 1/3 the price of s.on 14:12
it's mostly "We're gonna test that" for me 😂😂
"To represent a person shaped like a cylinder block " Underrated 😂
His offhand comments are phenomenal
Been on RUclips since 2015, regularly watch videos of all sorts and you're the first guy I decided to support, that should say a lot about how good your videos are. It really is a pain in the ass scrolling through all these unstructured biased reviews. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! I really appreciate your channel support!
@ProjectFarm I don't know where to leave a video suggestion, so ill leave it hear. I think you should compare bread toasters... the last two I've bought suck. Thanks for all your hard work 💪🏾 love your channel!
Test food containers! I was over at a friend's house for dinner, and they saved leftovers in a container that you can vacuum out air! Would that give you an extra day to prevent spoilage? You could test air tightness, durability through 10 dishwasher cycles, cost, weight, smell test after 3 days, can you measure bacteria growth easily? Baseline = plate of food in fridge with no covering or maybe saran wrap? @@ProjectFarm
@@ProjectFarmdigital calipers, original mitutoyo is very expensive, a lot of fake mitutoyo, maybe there are some high quality unknown brands...
@@pfoxhound I have iGaging Absolute Origin ones and I am very happy with them, a little spendy at ~$50 but they work great and I compared them to a Mitutoyo at work and they worked just the same
I was actually looking for a creeper for my garage!!........Sometimes it seems like Project Farm is spying on me. Do you have a camera in my kitchen???....Thanks again for a quality and informative video. You make the price of a membership absolutely worth every penny!!
You're welcome and thank you for supporting the channel through membership!
I always find that funny when I think of a test for him to try he makes a video of it
I just bought the Harbor Freight creeper last week on sale for $25, so good to see it did well. It will be an even better deal in the first week of March when it will be less than $20.
His camera isn't in your kitchen it's just outside of it so he can track 2 rooms with 1 camera and the pasta you made the other night looked really good
He has to test cameras somehow!!!😁
You got up from those creepers without rolling over, very impressive! Thank you for the review!
You are welcome!
Yeah, at 80 yrs old I am very envious at how easily you got up from the creepers!!! It's a major event for me!
I remember getting up without hands. Now I'm considering handicapped rails in my paintbooth at work.
Ditto!@@riccocool
I like the reviews, thoughtful and entertaining. I am a recently retired 45+ year mechanic. My favorite creeper substitute/replacement is a trusty piece of Cardboard. Benefits include: Super low ground clearance, doesn't have wheels to get stopped by small pieces of gravel (it absorbs them) fresh cardboard is easy to slide on, insulates cold ground and FREE
You forgot easy cleanup and storage
Also helps catch messes like oil and coolent!
You can also use force. Ive always hated creepers because you just move yourself if you use any force against a wrench
my dad uses a cut out of old carpet when he has to work on his car or bike because he can rest is knees on it and its not as bad as it would be on the solid concrete garage floor
I use to use scrap pieces of carpet also
Who uses a creeper? Where's the dirty piece of cardboard?
I left mine in the rain tdy :( time to molest another box
I can tell you're that uncle I can't take nowhere
Just so you know I don’t buy anything unless you review it. My wife asks me prior to any big purchase if you’ve reviewed it yet. 😂 You are a staple in my video life. Keep doing what you do. 👌👌👌
I remember my dad picked up a random creeper that the Snap-On truck ran over on the highway. It was called "The Bone" had 5" or 6" wheels recessed on the corners. It was amazing, it would roll in the gravel even. Real handy working on semis and farm equipment. Had it 16 years before he shut the doors professionally but he still uses it at home
I have one of these myself, was hoping it was in his lineup to see how it stacked up to conventional creepers. Great creeper in my opinion, and almost indestructible. I've abused it for 12 years so far with no signs of stopping.
That thing looks great. I've never seen a creeper with wheels that good. Unfortunately, it looks like it's been discontinued. I guess people don't want to pay the price for good products.
Thanks for sharing.
I have one as well. Best creeper I ever bought
Omega bought the bone creeper and covid evidently shut them down but supposedly they are bringing it back. I have the bonester and the standard and love them both
Timestamp 2:27
Audio is describing one creeper but the video is showing another. I do watch the channel alot and this is probably the first time I have ever seen an editing error. I do appreciate your work and hope you don't take this as a "haters comment"
Listen to him when he takes out the big red. they are the exact same body including logo, the wheels are the only difference.
I've had my Pittsburgh for years now, and it has saved me on numerous occasions. If I used it more often, I would splurge on the Daytona, but I just don't get under the car that often anymore. Fantastic roundup, as usual! Thank you Sir!
Hey Todd, we really appreciate you reviewing products you will never need. Us mere mortals don't have the ability to lift cars with our bare hands like you. So we appreciate you reviewing stuff we have to use.
Thanks!
I love your content and testing. Have been a mechanic for 30+ years I have used a lot of creepers. The best one I have found is the “bone-ster”. It is plastic, has 4 wheels, made in USA, and excellent build quality
"A person shaped like a cinder-block" killed me, thanks for that one!
Like many others, I never miss a new PF video. Even if it's a review of a product I'll never use, I still watch the entire review to the end. Todd, your thoroughness, enthusiasm, truthfulness, humor and engaging presentation is addictive. Very impressive. Thanks for providing the best review channel on YT.
Great video! As a mechanic that is over 6' and over 300lbs I have a dog bone (bonester) creeper I've had it for several years only having to replace the wheels. It's been the best creeper that I have used for a low profile plastic creeper
Thanks for the feedback.
I would've assumed that larger casters would be better. Didn't realize they'd be harder to change direction. Thanks for the education!
The go-to for RUclips reviews! Kudos to you for staying true to the scientific process and not being bought out by sponsors like most other RUclipsrs.
I see from the reviews that I'm not the only one who greatly appreciates your service to mankind. Thank you.
Another great comparison! I have the plastic Pittsburgh and it's always been fine.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks, Todd! This will be so helpful!
have you done reviews on multi meters? would love to see your testing with em as i love your unbiased approach to things. much love your content and reviews, cant wait to see the next one.
Thank you for all the information you provide. It has to take a lot of time with the number of tests you do, but it really helps getting all of the results you provide to make an informed decision. Thanks again!
"The Pittsburgh...made in China." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am very glad I watched this! The Daytona was on sale and I almost bought it! Definitely will just go with the Pittsburg! Thank you! I do wish the Icon would have been tested! I would really like to see Icon and Snap-On tools tested head to head. You do very great work! I know God blesses your integrity!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for taking my idea of testing creepers and creating this review. Great work, PF!
I just love the fast narration. Most of the products I will not even think about buying. But still that voice and the videos are informative in general!
Always enjoy your reviews thank you for all the great information👏👏
I did ask you to review creepers a few month back. And you delivered. Thank you. I have an omega creeper, scored one from FB market for $30 and i work outside on asphalt, it performs very well for me, it is very solid.
Thank you for remaining to be honest and not littered with ads or selling out to a company for profits
I have a harbor freight one, I drilled a few holes in it and filled it with spray foam. Its been 2 + years now and has not failed. I use it almost everyday.
The quality of your videos is outstanding, as always. I just broke the transmission chain on my gas powered 7 hp soil tiller, and I thought I should write a comment here, maybe It could be an idea for a future video.
Another extremely helpful and thorough review. I am 6'3 and 280+ with along torso. My 20+ year old Craftsman creeper is very much like the K Tool unit and suffers from the retightening/bending casters, sit up and lift up issue, and bruises my shoulders. From your review, it looks like the Daytona may be in my near future. THANK YOU!
Thanks for testing and explaining! I want to buy a new creeper soon and now I know on what I have pay attention most. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. You have the most complete and most relevant testing out there. Keep up the good work.
I always appreciate your excellent reports - Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your videos!!! Could you test battery power hedge trimmers? Thanks
Excellent. I've been thinking about getting one of these and while I have access to some slightly different examples most are somewhat similar. It's great to see and experience from your reviews examples of the various solid plastic, metal and foam and foldable types, which will greatly help me to know what to look for. Many thanks!!
@projectfarm Thank you for all the good you do. Would you do a test on what stops rust the best in a pinch weld? (Wheel arches, cab corners, etc.) Using stuff like motor oil, seam sealer, weld through primer, copper weld, and so on
I always watch all your videos. On this one, I still use my old wooden creeper with the steel wheels and the small foam headrest. Been using it for about 45 years. If I have to work under the car outside of the garage in gravel or dirt. I have a couple small silver tarps from Harbor Freight. Good video, didn’t realize there were that many creepers out there. 👍
Great videos. I really like the fact that you go from cheapest to most expensive. Thank you all the video reviews. Keep it up.
Love this, just bought a Pittsburgh creeper based on your recommendation (and I'm a pretty light dude, so I don't think I'll need anything heavy duty).
For upcoming videos, I'd love to see ones on puncture resistant insoles and OBDII scan tools.
Nice review! might pick up one if i'm gonna do more on my own car. Thanks!!
Another very good review! When my Lisle Jeepers Creepers, made in the USA, wears out I will review again. So far, it has performed very well for me - at 275" and currently 230#. The cost was $88 in June 2023. It does not have a tool caddy which I miss. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR REVIEWS.
Well done yet again you never cease to entertain and instruct.
Watching your channel is a must before purchasing.
Good stuff! Keep doing what you are doing. Not only useful reviews but articulate and entertaining... thank you very much.
Thanks, will do!
Glad to see another great video, I own the pittsburg and never had an issue with it at all. Thanks again, till the next video.
I have the plastic Pittsburgh creeper. I agree with your results. I have had several others over the years as well. I appreciate your unbiased reviews as you are unsponsored. That says alot about your character friend!
Thanks!
often you dont want the creeper to move easily...love the review! great using different floors, asphalt good for easy rollers.
Great review as always!
I gave away both of my creepers after the first time I used the foam exercise pads that hook together and come four in a bundle. I bought the grey ones but they also come in colors. I have 12 of them now (3 sets) and I use them any time I work on the ground. I can hook them together in the shape I want or leave them loose.
I bought the first set because I needed to work under my RV in the gravel driveway where my creepers would not work. They made it so much better so I used them in the shop on the concrete floor next. That's when I gave away my creepers and bought more of the foam pads.
I love your videos and always look forward to the next one.
I review older videos to see if you have done a review on something I need to buy.
Thank you Sir!
It was really great seeing a creeper that I own being put to the test. Fantastic testing as always! Thank you
Love to see a test on best antifreeze!!! Not seen one on RUclips yet. Always love watching these and gives Facts.
Different cars use different antifreeze
@projectfarm I have a few video testing ideas.
1. Truck tires, which o es are best for wear resistance, traction. And then traction in bad conditions, wet dry loose dirt etc.
2. Flashlights, small edc flashlights would be a great testing video. Testing Lumans vs claims, durability, battery life etc.
3. Car headlight bulbs: This would make a great video, testing beam pattern lumans, throw, and light colors.
Torque Test Channel has your 2&3 covered.
Your reviews are so helpful! Any plans to do a garage floor epoxy review?
Great Video! Can you make a comparison between different car maintenance ramps? Much appreciated
Shop and/or portable light review. Thank you for your very helpful and entertaining reviews. I always check here before buying a new tool.
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I bought one of those creepers a year and a 1/2 ago. Working in a big truck shop with no lifts. It's worth every penny. If you're an automatic with a lift, don't waste your money. But if you spend half your time on a creeper, buy it.
"Softer than a Motel 6 mattress"! LOVE IT! My biggest problem is using a creeper on packed gravel. Yeah, I know - we need a shop with a floor...🤣 Great video!👍👍
Great as always! Any possibility you can do topside creepers?
Bravo! Didnt miss any creeper factors (that i can see), especially looking at them from the Tall Guy Aspect.
As always, the video quality and the content is more than satysfying. Thank you for the ongoing tests
You are welcome!
I like that he uses the NoCry tool! I got the same one after watching his review!
@projectfarm love the videos. I would to see a test and review of diesel heaters. Thanks keep up the great videos
I'm looking at buying my first truck (early 90s f150 i6 or 5.0) once I sell my Volvo. I'll certainly want a creeper for that. The Daytona and plastic Big Red are the most appealing to me. Thank you for another exceptional video! I bought an orange Daytona commercial-grade hydraulic jack late last year based on your shop jack video. Informative!
Superb testing and reporting - thenks!
Keep doing what you do , it's a big help
Another great review! Thanks for helping me make my product purchasing decisions! Review idea: Headlamps for outdoor/tradesman use
Hey man i love the videos so much they are super helpful on choosing what to buy. On a side note though, when you were talking about the DNA brand ones width you were showing the big red. That was all
noticed this as well. @ 2:25. good eyes
Another great review! If YT weren't free, this channel would make it worthwhile to pay for it.
I did buy the Pittsburgh creeper last year, and after a long day, my back and shoulders felt bruised for a couple days. I suspect this would be true for all the hard plastic models. After only a few uses, I had to toss it since the body broke where the wheels attach. I don't use a creeper enough to replace it, but if I did I would get the Daytona.
Great review keep em coming!
Always love the content. I'm currently in school to be an airplane mechanic, I've been using your videos to slowly grow my collection of tools whenever there's a sale going on. I'd love if you'd review a pair of aviation snips for my sheet metal class coming up
Another great review, thanks!
Loved your blender video, would love to hear your thoughts on some juicers!
I have the Pittsburgh rolling bed since 1996. It is still going well and never failed me. Glad your test confirmed my choice. Thank you for a great rest video.
You are welcome!
Wow, what a workout! Thanks for sharing!
I take your content as gold. Recently been having issues with Central Pneumatic die grinders at work (machinist). I’d love a die grinder episode. CN, ingersoll, Matco, snap on, etc. who’s best?? Best bearings? Torture test? Torque test? Best for getting in small spaces? Thanks Project Farm for all you do for us tradesmen and home craftsmen alike. God Bless
I used the 90* and straight CN 1/4” air grinders. Both lasted more or less 9mos (metal fabrication). Not daily use, but we did quite a bit of weld grinding and polishing for sanitary conveyor systems.
After blowing out bearing for the second time on both, I replaced them with Ingersoll. I used them for 4yrs with no issues until the shop had to close its doors
I’ll be honest, I didn’t oil the CN before use like I should, but DID oil the Ingersoll before use (2-3 drops). So take that for what it’s worth
I would love to see him do a review though
Great review! Have you thought about doing motorcycle jacks/lifts?
With the warmer months about to creep in, it would be amazing to see you do some rigorous testing on Cooler brands.
Yeti, RTIC, Lifetime, Pelican, Coleman, Igloo, Arctic Zone, and some of the house brands for Cabela's, Bass Pro, Home Depot, Lowes, Menards brands!
Love all of your non-biased videos!
One of the most useful channels on RUclips
Perfect timing for this review! HF just put a coupon up for the Pittsburgh creeper bringing it down to $25, making it an absolute no brainer imo. I grabbed it yesterday and this solidified for me that it's a great choice.
Great video again!
I have a "Pro-Lift" 2 in one metal frame, Z shape seat/creeper, 300 lb capacity. And I use a dense foam snow sled with 4 side handles . too
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent! Just what I needed to decide.
Hey Todd!!! This was a good video! I have a suggestion for a future video: best oil extractor! Lots of different ones out there and would be cool to see the fastest, most spill-proof, easiest to empty, etc!
Hey projectfarm
thank you for all the amazing videos. For this one, i would have really loved to see a comparison with the Creepex Fastback. It has a totally different design and i’m curious to see how it would stack up.
Thank you
Nice! Could you do a comparison of the best car suction cup phone mounts? Thank you for doing what you do!
I love all you videos and the reviews help inform my purchase decisions! I tried looking for a review of air compressors but i didn't find one other than for tire inflators. Anyone know if there is one, if not that would be my suggestion for a video!
As always, I love the videos. I got one for you. Reolink, Eufy, Ring, Arlo, Nest, Wyze, Blink which wifi camera is better?
Would love to see a test of solar and wired battery maintainers. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see you out on the trails at the wrecker games
Another great video, the only thing I was curious about was how the convertible ones work as a stool, how stable, and have the weight all focused.
Hi there, Love your channel. By watching I have made 2 purchases and changed one brand so far. One suggestion that I would like to make is for you test and recommend the best power inverter. Preferably pure sine. All the best!
I started with the Pittsburg from HF. Wheels were folding under. I made my own out of some leftover wood and heavy duty casters from HD. Works very well. I shaped it using the same form I used to make curved back dining room chairs and coopered leg table from Tommy Mac's show. Still watched the video anyway. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing!
great review again, keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Been wanting to upgrade my creeper to something with a tilt headrest and cushioned board. Tried the plastic harbor freight one and the plastic board was uncomfortable on shoulder blades and hips with extended use and the wheels broke in 2 days. Definitely going to try out the Daytona one now. Thanks for the info.
I run a storage business and i run into so many creepers. I dont work under cars anymore though. Great reviews.
Love the unbiased opinion on everything you test. One creeper I really like to use is called a bone creeper. 100% USA made.
