About Traxion 3-100 Foldable Topside Automotive Engine Creeper
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
90% liked the adjustable height and position
I initially thought the product would be uncomfortable to use, but was pleasantly surprised to find that it is not at all.
I recommend not tightening the nuts and bolts until they are all in place. The creeper has adjustability and customization options.
94% found it comfortable to use for extended periods
This creeper is usable in various applications like light to medium trucks, auto roof work and anywhere I need a steady platform in an awkward position.
I initially thought the product would be uncomfortable due to its design, but found it to be comfortable when used.
I added extra padding to the uprights to protect the car.
95% appreciated the solid build quality, though 5% experienced some wear and tear
I loaded my entire 185 lbs on the finished unit and leaned over the upper vinyl padded platform. It didn't give a bit, so I feel safe with it.
The creeper helped me a lot while installing the fuel system on my 2011 Sierra Duramax, which was a major job.
The construction is minimal but adequate.
I expected the product to be sturdy and substantial for $300, but it turned out to be cheap and not as expected.
94% found it easy to assemble and maintain, but 6% experienced issues with finding replacement parts
I found the online assembly instructions very helpful, while the included paper instructions were almost worthless.
I found the assembly process difficult as the holes were mis-drilled. I had to re-drill 3 holes on one side of the upper rail and 3 on the top section of the other side to align it correctly.
The sequence of assembly is difficult to determine and the instructions are unclear. The pictures are also tiny and hard to see the details.
90% praised its ease of movement, though 10% found it difficult to maneuver in tight spaces
I can access everything on my layout with ease using the creeper, except for a 5 1/2 ft distance in one corner of the layout, which is my oversight and not a fault of the creeper.
Assembling it was a bit of work, but not overly complicated.
84% liked the quiet and smooth operation, though 16% experienced some rattling and vibration
I noticed that the creeper rocks from side to side when I am on the pad.
93% praised for its stability and balance
I loaded 185 lbs on it and leaned over the upper vinyl padded platform and it didn't give a bit, so I feel safe with it. This indicates that the garage-shop-creepers is stable and balanced.
The unit is strong, stable, and does not wobble or feel like it will collapse or fold up.
85% liked the compact storage design, but 15% found it heavy to carry
It's easy to move around and store, although the fold up size is a little awkward but still doable.
Assembling the creeper was a bit of work, but not overly complicated.
I suggest redesigning the Topside Creeper to be slimmer and easier to store.
88% appreciated the high weight capacity, though 12% experienced issues with stability at lower weights
I can confidently use the creeper as it can support my weight of 200 lbs.
I have to pick up the product from my home as it weighs 70 lbs.
