These guards are placed between the frame and the caster to keep skin or other things from rolling into the caster.
Installation requires a 3/4" wrench to remove the nut.
Excited to get these as I am tired of pinch bruises and cuts from wheel on my upper arms in the most vulnerable places as I move my arms to push creeper around while on my back when low. Installed one side and thought the plastic was flexible,as it moved quite nicely. Apparently they flex only to a point and then abruptly crack! When I flipped creeper over to install other side, one guard completely cracked. Now I’ve got an ample supply of duct tape on one wheel. Nice design but hope anyone reading this is aware they are not as flexible as they act and will suddenly crack rather than bend.At least my arms are now free of bruises. Bought two sets as wanted to cover all four wheels. Not sure why sold in pairs although I suppose can get along with two on torso area end only if don’t mind occasional pants caught in wheels when maneuvering. As an “old man” I do appreciate the creeper as a whole although expensive, Would purchase again, especially if professional.
Hands down best creeper we have ever used. Great product. Worth every cent.
I use mine in conjunction with a 4 post lift . Absolutely the best thing I've ever done for my bad back and leg nerve pain !
I have been looking for years for a decent creeper. I am a girl a very bad back and neck and long hair. This is the perfect solution! I can sit partially up at the perfect angle to work under the truck. The wheels roll great, even on our race deck flooring. And the biggest bonus, in full flat position, my hair cannot get wrapped around the wheels. Thanks for a great product!
Excellent creeper, works as expected. Customer service is excellent with prompt response. (missing item)
This is a heavy-duty creeper that should last long enough to be considered a legacy-style hand-down product. It is longer than I anticipated, so it will provide much better support than I’m currently used to.
Performing a quick “out of the box” test, I found that the position adjustments operated smoothly and the wheel casters were easy to roll.
I am looking forward to greatly easing my workload while cleaning the aircraft's belly. And this means that another cold Minnesota winter will be behind us again.
Awesome Deluxe Creeper Aircraft and more so in my case, especially Automotive use with a 4 post lift. It does all and more you could ever want.

My husband hesitated on the purchase not sure it would stand up to its claims, so I bought it for him. He loves it and says he will get years of use. Although he does say the last level to flat is a jolt to the back so you may want to improve on that, this would not stop a 5 star rating or the gratitude of the gift.
I use this under a 2 post lift and what a pleasure it is to use. It is very robust, built extremely well. You are definitely getting your money’s worth with this creeper. It makes spending long hours under the lift effortless and really takes a lot of strain off of my back and neck. Fully assembled right out of the box is a huge plus. I would like to see some sort of extender to raise the trays as they are a little hard to reach the more upright the creeper is. If you’re on the fence about this, let me tell you that you won’t regret it.
I've spent two workdays exclusively using my new unit under my wings doing speed brake installation...very detailed and space restricted so proper height was absolutely essential for me to reach things inside the wing. My experience has been largely positive for its fantastic caster wheels and very solid feel of construction. The head pad needs some Velcro to stay put, the strap alone seems not enough. Due to the challenges I'm facing on this installation I find a few inches higher or lower is the difference between reaching what I have to or not. That brings me to the only recommendation that would greatly improve the design. The unit could use a finer pitch to the raising/ lowering mechanism. Right now from it's closed position one click up is too far away and 2 clicks up is too close. The height change seems about 5 inches differential though I haven't measured it. So if I had any recommendation for improvement I would look at ways to create finer height adjustment. You've already solved this on your electric model which provides infinite height adjustments but the cost for that unit is too much for me.
Filling the gap between the standard creeper and a chair.
