$500 for creaper?

Have you considered a Valv-O-Max oil drain valve that you can connect a hose to?

And would slightly turning the filter to be sure it is not stuck, and then punching holes in it with a screwdriver to drain it, work for that application? For applications where this works you gots to make several deep holes and the bigger the better.

The filter is easy to access and get off, it’s the turning it sideways to remove it that is obscure. The plug makes it easy enough though. As for the drain plug, I’m moving to a 3 gallon bucket drain method; from what I’ve read this significantly reduces the splash effect.

Saint Todd weighs in. In this test the Snap In is $333. HF sells a Daytona-brand clone for $85.

Tractor Supply sells a huge combination oil catch and contain, container. When I saw it in a T.S. store, I thought, that is just what farmers need to drain those large sumps on those big tractors.

You sometimes get what you pay for. I only have a few Snap-On tools but they are excellent. My Snap-On air hammer was expensive but has saved me 10 times the price in repair bills and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. It's probably worth it if you want a great creeper that will last forever.

Would you expect anything less from Snap-on? Good stuff but too pricey.

Thirty years ago I bought one of those Snap On creepers. About five years ago I was using it and the wheels disintegrated. I removed the whole caster assembly and put them in a bag and gave them to my brother and said show these to the Snap on guy and let me know what I have to do. He gets back to me and says he wants the model number of the creeper. I text it to him. Snap On guy says they no longer service that model. I said they're exactly the same wheels as the current models. Just sell me four. For some reason he was unable so I tossed the rest of the creeper in the trash and bought an Icon.

I thought strapon had lifetime warranty?

From the title, I thought this thread was going to be about the OPs daughter's boyfriend.

One would think.

For that kind of money, I'd just by a Sleep Number mattress.
