Why Every Car Enthusiast Needs a Magic Creeper Pad

The magic creeper pad is a convenient and innovative tool that is designed to make working underneath vehicles or machinery easier and more comfortable. It is specifically designed for mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone who needs to perform repairs or inspections on the underside of vehicles. The magic creeper pad is made of a durable and flexible material that allows it to contour around the shape of the body or chassis of a vehicle. This means that regardless of the size or shape of the vehicle, the magic creeper pad will be able to conform to it, providing a comfortable and stable surface to work on. One of the main advantages of the magic creeper pad is its portability. It is lightweight and can be easily folded or rolled up, making it easy to transport and store.

No longer will you need to use wheeled ground creepers that leave marks, need fixing every so often, and are so bulky that they can t fit in your car when you need it the most.

It is lightweight and can be easily folded or rolled up, making it easy to transport and store. This is particularly useful for mechanics who need to work on vehicles in different locations or for DIY enthusiasts who may not have a dedicated workspace. Another great feature of the magic creeper pad is its low profile design.

Mat vs creeper

Bad knees has me using kneeling pads from Home Depot often. I like the 1 1/2 inch thick semi soft foam they are made from. Is there a creeper sized pad or larger available in this type foam? Getting where getting on and off a creeper is getting more difficult and I want a good working pad that is easy on knees and hips. Bonus points for storability. I see some that look like tool box foam, more rigid I guess, how are they?

As far as i'm concerned, this is like the little tool creeper at Harbor Freight. A hidden (and inexpensive) little gem: https://www.harborfreight.com/autom. eepers-seats/folding-mechanics-pad-93896.html
Folds up relatively small to stash in some inconspicuous spot in the shop.

I've used a piece of closed cell foam from a box something big came in. It's like 24"x36", and about 1 or 1.5' thick. Works as a kneeling bad, a seat, or to lie on. Also very reasonably priced.

My wife bought me the Traxion Versa mat, since I don,t like creepers. It rolls up for easy storage too.

Matco had one it was about 4 by 2 but it was open cell foam and doesn't seem to hold up very well. I like'd using kiazen? closed cell foam, it came in a window crate so not sure exactly what it was but it didn't absorb oil or break down fast like the matco one did.

You need something with a low coefficient of friction so you can slide your body without sticking to the pad.

That leads you to closed cell foam. Relatively ridgid, and foldable would be best.

Frankly, I went through this a few years ago, and determined cardboard worked better than the pads I tried. Carpet foam was about the worst, followed by carpeting.

The best is the four post lift.

I have a couple of these kicking around:

You can't slide around on them but they definitely work for lying on the ground and are the right size (same as a creeper roughly).

The box our 65" tv came in is super thick folded flat (~2" or more) and I've been using it for several years now in lieu of either of my creepers that hang on the wall in the garage. The box is reinforced to protect the screen, super strong, and super soft, and lets me slide under and out from a vehicle much more comfortably and with much less effort than using a creeper, and it's got a plastic-like sealed surface where small oil spills wipe up easily from it instead of soaking in like normal cardboard. I've used it several dozens of times now and still looks like it did the day we got the TV. When not in use it slides behind my tool chest, out of site, out of mind.

I use a moving pad cover folded in half to lay on or crawl around around a vehicle just for the purpose. Comfy and works for me.

I have the big Matco one and I like it. If my coworker stops borrowing it, maybe it will hold up for awhile longer.

Grabbing what is around is all I have done. But mats are always preferred vs creeper.
A fender cover has done a lot for me and my other pad is a square of exercise floor. Neither help me slide much but serve the purpose.

I have an -anti-fatigue floor mat near my work bench. I'll occasionally drag that over for longer work sessions, otherwise cardboard is the norm.

No really. I need something in the shop and out in the field. Besides big difference in price between a piece of foam and a lift.

I recently purchased one of these to use mainly for kneeling behind whichever oil dripper I'm working on, makes a nice pad to lay on when using jack stands or away from the shop.

Absolutely. A 2 post lift would be useful in less than 10% of the time where I need to access the under side of a piece of equipment.

For the last few years I've been using the horse stall rubber mats. They're washable, can interlock to create the size you want, are soft enough for my bad knees, and offer a bit of insulation against the cold concrete floor.

How about "the magic creeper" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FQCYWXH/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I saw this advertised on Tech Garage. This one is a clone. The real deal magic creeper is twice the money.

Go no further than your local wally world, or even TJ Max/Marshalls ilk - buy a yoga mat. Find a nice thick one that has a relatively stiff structure for support. I have a creeper but it is an act of acrobatics and gymnastics to get on it without flying across the room and crashing into a wall or running out into the street.

I have three, and I'll throw all three of them under the car. That works out great, because I usually end up somewhere that I didn't anticipate. So, I can just slide around wherever.

I have a racer mat, the foam is not quite as soft as a kneeling pad but works quite well.

My girth needs the extra clearance so I simply use an old windshield sun shade I had. Has some cushion, my carcass slides easily on it, and it's cleanable.

I just got the $25 Harbor Freight work mat as posted above. I have used cardboard, creepers and various bits of other mats and carpets. This mat from HF really works well. It has some things that the other mats don't think about.

The bottom is slick and shiny so it does not soak up fluids like most of those other things do. Next the surface you lay on is covered when stored because this mat folds in half with Velcro holding the two parts together and has loops to you can hang it on the wall. Since it folds if just kneeling you can use a single or double layer of the mat.

Unknown is how it will hold up under time and use?

All I really ever need a cushion for is leaning on my knees due to a bone spur or sitting on my butt on concrete, especially if I am wiggling around or taking loose suspension stuff. Laying on my back in a driveway or whatever on concrete is fine with me. I just use actual hard knee pads I got at home depot when I am going to be doing kneeling and walking back and forth type activities.

For sitting stuff I used to work at a Semi Conductor manufacturer some years ago and some of the equipment came in crates where they had cellulose foam mats that were about 2 inches thick and I have one piece I cut and keep in the truck for if I need to change a tire on the road or something and then another one that is about 3 x 3 when I want to sit on my butt and wrench on stuff in the driveway. Not sure where else you can find them but if anyone happens to be in the Austin area I can send you to a place and if you dash in and grab the stuff they'll never miss it or know you did.

I have a snap on one my dealer gave me several years ago, holds up well and its even better cause i didnt pay for it

It is only a few inches thick, which means that it can fit under low-clearance vehicles without any issues. This allows mechanics to easily access hard-to-reach areas without having to resort to uncomfortable or precarious positions. The magic creeper pad is also designed to provide excellent mobility. It is equipped with small rolling wheels on each corner, allowing the user to easily maneuver underneath the vehicle without having to constantly reposition the pad. This can save a lot of time and effort, especially when working on larger vehicles. In terms of comfort, the magic creeper pad is equipped with a foam padding that provides a soft and cushioned surface to work on. This is particularly important when spending long periods of time underneath a vehicle, as it helps to alleviate pressure points and reduce fatigue. Overall, the magic creeper pad is a fantastic tool that can greatly improve the efficiency and comfort of working underneath vehicles or machinery. Its innovative design, portability, low profile, and mobility make it an essential tool for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike. Whether you are a professional mechanic or a weekend warrior, the magic creeper pad is definitely worth considering for your toolbox..

Reviews for "Increase Your Productivity with the Magic Creeper Pad"

1. John - 2 out of 5 stars

I was really disappointed with the Magic creeper pad. First of all, it didn't slide as smoothly as advertised. It kept getting stuck on small bumps and uneven surfaces, which made it frustrating to use. Secondly, the material felt thin and flimsy - I could feel the ground beneath me, which was uncomfortable and made me doubt its durability. Overall, it didn't live up to the hype and I wouldn't recommend it.

2. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars

I regret buying the Magic creeper pad. The concept seemed great, but the execution was poor. It constantly deflated, even with minimal weight placed on it. Plus, the surface was not as slip-resistant as claimed and I found myself slipping and sliding instead of smoothly gliding under my car. It's definitely not worth the money, and I feel like I wasted my hard-earned cash on a subpar product. Save yourself the disappointment and look for alternative options.

3. Mark - 2 out of 5 stars

The Magic creeper pad didn't provide the convenience I was expecting. The length was impractical for maneuvering under my car, and I found it difficult to position myself comfortably. Additionally, the pad tends to bunch up and fold over, making it more of a hassle to use. I really wanted to like this product, but it fell short on usability and value for money. I won't be using it again and would advise others to explore different options.
