   Creepers always look and sound like a great way to work under vehicles.   
   But the wheels are always bumping into your tools, parts... getting   
   stuck in cracks in the cement and then you loose 2-4 inches of space to   
   maneuver in. Cardboard seems the best solution for me😆️

   I use all the choices depending on the vehicle, where it's parked and what   
   needs doing.   
      
   The foam sleds are washable so I can stay clean enough to sit in the car   
   afterwards. They pad rough and wet surfaces the best. I keep one under the   
   rear compartment mat to kneel on for roadside tire changes and protecting   
   the seat if carrying lumber etc.   
      
   Cardboard combines ease of sliding with maximum clearance. It can't be   
   washed and rocks puncture it so it's best on pavement. A large box folded   
   flat can serve to lie on or contain to-be-cleaned stuff, for example   
   junkyard car parts.   
      
   I like a creeper when the job requires moving around, such as an exhaust,   
   removing/replacing a bumper and splash shield or spraying rust inhibitor. My   
   sister gave me a Bone creeper for Christmas, her husband is a mechanic. It   
   has larger wheels that swivel well and handle cracks better than the   
   Autozone webbing creeper. The caster lumps can restrict arm reach. It rolls   
   easily, too easily when struggling with a rusted bolt. It's my choice for   
   more extensive jobs when the car is raised on ramps and I'm moving under and   
   out frequently.   
      
   On good pavement the Autozone creeper is good enough, less restrictive to   
   raised arms and it folds to take less space in the car, to go help someone.   
   Spilled oil or antifreeze drains through the webbing instead of pooling   
   under me.
