If you're planning on doing a bit of work in your garage this year, it's probably a good idea to have a mechanic creeper around. Although the name is pretty strange, mechanic creepers are actually invaluable tools that increase maneuverability when working on a vehicle by a lot. If you've ever seen the classic device that mechanics lay on and use to roll themselves in and out from underneath a car they're working on, you've seen a mechanic creeper. Most have a low-profile design, but some transform into a stool or offer other extra benefits. Here are the best mechanic creepers currently available on Amazon.

What are the benefits of a mechanic creeper?
Mechanic creeper seats can be very helpful if you do a lot of work in your garage or in a shop. The low-profile creepers let you access the underbody of cars much easier and wheels allow you to move around when needed. Stool creepers allow you to work on other parts of the car while removing the need to continuously kneel down. Creeper pads can be used in shops, garages and even in the home without leaving marks on your floor.
