I have the Bone as well, bought from Northern tools. It works great, even rolls around on gravel.

Recommend a good creeper.

Another vote for the Bone, unless you're in something really soft it'll roll pretty much anywhere. Very comfortable too. Plus your shirt won't get caught in the wheels like on the cheap ones.
Blazinzuk is kind of a creeper..................dont know how good he is tho.....................

They already make an off-road creeper that will work in dirt driveways and rough areas. It is The Bone Rough Rider.

It works great. I did drive over it with the truck one day and broke a wheel. Called the manufacturer to see if I could get a replacement and he said sure. $6 and a couple days later the bone was back in action. Two thumbs up.

Ya my vote is for the bone, I've had one for 10 years now. Had the same one for all of that time. Biggest down side is welding, all of the splatter slides underneath you and it gets 'hot' quick!

they will roll over drop light cords and whatever else with no effort. and my hood and/or shirt sleeves dont get caught in the wheels like low profile creepers do.

I have a Cornwell creeper I've had for 10 years or so. It worked well on the concrete garage floor. I just hate it when it gets stuck on the errant air hose, wrench, loose bolts laying around.
I've recently started using large sheets of cardboard instead of the creeper. Just lay it under the truck, lay down and grab a frame rail and pull myself under. It's just slippery enough for freedom of movement yet you stay in place when trying to pull on a long ratchet. No limit to where you can move yourself around to cause there's no wheels to get stuck on anything. It catches any drips from whatever you're working on which can then be wiped up which eliminates the need for speedi dry and also eliminates drip stains on the driveway. When it gets old and nasty it can be burned in the fire pit and a new one is free, at least for me cause I bring it home from work.

This can be said for many things...
