A-Level Design Project Mechanics Car Creeper

[Duncangoon]

I am designing a mechanics creeper for my A-Level Design Technology project, it will lay flat as a normal creeper with an adjustable headrest, fold up into a floor level seat with a back rest and also fold into a 'Z' shaped stool, i was thinking of a tool storage compartment and a light, thoughts & additions?

Someone else asked the same a while back.

Makes you wonder if they are one of the same. Same question and same design thoughts.

Another common denominator is they are both A level students but neither, with their advanced education, have learned the art of manners. Both (same) want help and information but neither have learned how to use the word please!

Most creepers have castors that are too small. That makes small movements on less-than-perfectly smooth floors difficult.

Flexible lights that can shine up either side of your head (and be adjusted) would certainly be good. That or an adjustable holder for an inspection light. Maybe also some of those socket bars down the sides so you can clip sockets to the sides.

None slip webbing on the base helps prevent one sliding around when moving over uneven surfaces.
