Undercar and lower-body work just got a lot more comfortable with these new creepers

KENOSHA, Wis. (Jan. 26, 2017) - When there's vehicle undercar and lower-body work to be done, comfort is key for technicians. To reduce common stress on the back and joints, Snap-on has introduced new offerings to keep techs off the floor and on a roll to get the job done.

The following creepers are making Snap-on "Top Tools" news for innovating a shop necessity:

1. Snap-on® JCW77BL, JCW77R Flat-Oval Adjustable Heavy-Duty Creeper

   Featuring a new hinge mechanism, the JCW77 allows for one-hand height adjustment that makes changing the creeper position fast and easy. With a four-position headrest for better visual field, the JCW77 features new, flat-oval tubing construction, which eliminates sharp corners on the creeper frame. Four-inch casters on the base offer 1-3/8" ground clearance. The JCW77 has a 13" wide deck with a solid plywood core, topped with high-density foam padding and a heavy duty vinyl cover to make it strong, long-lasting and easy to clean.

2. Snap-on® JCW72BL, JCW72R Flat-Oval Heavy-Duty Creeper

   The JCW72 has many of the same features and benefits of the JCW77, but with a static frame. Offered in both black and red, the JCW72 is constructed with heavy-duty padding and vinyl cover atop a solid plywood core.

3. Snap-on® JCW80A Series Creeper Seat

A new caster profile on the JCW80A reduces rolling resistance and makes this creeper seat easy to maneuver. It features a 16 gauge 1" steel frame and comes with an integrated storage drawer and parts tray. The seat has a solid plywood core, to make it sturdy and durable, encased by a heavy-duty vinyl cover with high density foam cushioning and comes in a variety of colors.
