Anyone have an overhead creeper?

[Mastiff]

I'm not as young as I used to be, and crawling around underhood to get to the back of the motor is even more unpleasant. I wonder if these topside creepers are very helpful? All the ones I see on Amazon are around $300, so no small investment. Any model recommendations?

Over engine creeper

Got some cash for Christmas and I was thinking about buying one of those over the engine creepers. Any thoughts/feedback?

I have one and I like it a lot. I get tired of standing on step stools or tires or bumpers. It's a bit cumbersome to get in to position but really nice once it is. Mine folds up to make it easier to store but it definitely takes up space.

I still need to measure the front of the crew cab to see if one of those is high enough.

Thought about it but not sure about storage. Been using one of those folding drywall work platforms to stand on and a thick moving blanket folded a couple times to pad the engine and radiator. Works real well, can do rear spark plugs and such way easier laying on the engine.
