"People come in all shapes and sizes, so I'm placing a cinder block on the creeper to represent a person shaped like a cinder block." 😂
Exactly what I came to comment 😂😂😂
Funniest quote of 2024!! 😂
Took the words out of my mouth 😂 so funny
As a cinder block shaped person I appreciatehim considering us when testing.
Most men are brick built
Your non-sponsored unbiased reviews are solid gold and greatly appreciated. We have made many purchases based on your reviews and have yet to be disappointed. In a world of greed and corruption, this cannel stands out as a prime example of honesty and integrity. Thank you so very much, Todd. Keep it up.
Well said, I agree
Every year for Christmas I ask for his high rated things to replace what I already have. oof
He gets paid with those links in the description. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. He is putting the time and the energy to do the work so why not get something in return for your work.
Aye aye

The project farm drinking game: when he starts a scentence with AND, you take a shot.
YOU WILL DIE OF ALCOHOL POISONING.
I love this guy, and his impartial reviews. It doesn’t bother me, but I certainly noticed it!😊
.... Do i drink? Do i stay sober? IDK what the game is.
if it bothers you, don't watch-and don't be petty IMHO
"To represent a person shaped like a cylinder block " Underrated 😂
His offhand comments are phenomenal
Finally, someone was able to recreate my cinderblock shaped body. Thank you Todd!
Lol Thanks for watching!

please compare hammerdrills.
sds plus, sds max.
I picked up a very large log with my tractor recently and heard your voice in my head "very impressive!" Great channel, anytime I'm considering a purchase I come here first to see if you've done a review.
Thanks for sharing!
😂
I will say either “very impressive” or sometimes “we’re gonna test that!” 😂
Test the 2 icon creepers they are better than all , 1/3 the price of s.on 14:12
it's mostly "We're gonna test that" for me 😂😂
I like the reviews, thoughtful and entertaining. I am a recently retired 45+ year mechanic. My favorite creeper substitute/replacement is a trusty piece of Cardboard. Benefits include: Super low ground clearance, doesn't have wheels to get stopped by small pieces of gravel (it absorbs them) fresh cardboard is easy to slide on, insulates cold ground and FREE
You forgot easy cleanup and storage
Also helps catch messes like oil and coolent!
You can also use force. Ive always hated creepers because you just move yourself if you use any force against a wrench
my dad uses a cut out of old carpet when he has to work on his car or bike because he can rest is knees on it and its not as bad as it would be on the solid concrete garage floor
I use to use scrap pieces of carpet also
I love your content and testing. Have been a mechanic for 30+ years I have used a lot of creepers. The best one I have found is the “bone-ster”. It is plastic, has 4 wheels, made in USA, and excellent build quality
I’ve really been loving the additional comedy and sarcasm in your reviews. Makes them all the more entertaining
Thanks!
Agreed!!
Two ideas best drill press, and best ultra sonic cleaner for tools. Also I love that you just get to business. No non sense talking. Just pure entertainment! Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestions. Thanks!
@@ProjectFarmultra sonic cleaners would be very useful
@@ProjectFarmhello, maybe you can test different brands of garage floor epoxies? Im thinking of doing my garage
@ProjectFarm Hi, could you test different types of shower heads/hose, 🚿 high, low pressure, quality, etc. It seems that we have plenty on the market and all do wonderful things, according to the manufacturers.
@@creator6323 thats a good idea too. I recently bought one from costcos on sale and i dont care for it
Just so you know I don’t buy anything unless you review it. My wife asks me prior to any big purchase if you’ve reviewed it yet. 😂 You are a staple in my video life. Keep doing what you do. 👌👌👌
I've had my Pittsburgh for years now, and it has saved me on numerous occasions. If I used it more often, I would splurge on the Daytona, but I just don't get under the car that often anymore. Fantastic roundup, as usual! Thank you Sir!
At this point sir, I'm more impressed by how you come up with ways to properly test these things more than the outcome of the tests. Thankyou for your work
lol Thanks
Yeah he's really evolved very quickly
I agree. Most of his product tests have some pretty inventive methods.
Thanks and you are welcome!
That cinderblock joke is my favorite one you've ever made, Todd.
Also, using a cinderblock is a great idea for this comparison.
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm what about creepers that are engineered for field mechanics?
Who uses a creeper? Where's the dirty piece of cardboard?
I left mine in the rain tdy :( time to molest another box
I can tell you're that uncle I can't take nowhere
@@GingerMaster6875lol. I'm that uncle too 😂
Like many others, I never miss a new PF video. Even if it's a review of a product I'll never use, I still watch the entire review to the end. Todd, your thoroughness, enthusiasm, truthfulness, humor and engaging presentation is addictive. Very impressive. Thanks for providing the best review channel on YT.
I was actually looking for a creeper for my garage!!........Sometimes it seems like Project Farm is spying on me. Do you have a camera in my kitchen???....Thanks again for a quality and informative video. You make the price of a membership absolutely worth every penny!!
You're welcome and thank you for supporting the channel through membership!
I always find that funny when I think of a test for him to try he makes a video of it
I just bought the Harbor Freight creeper last week on sale for $25, so good to see it did well. It will be an even better deal in the first week of March when it will be less than $20.
His camera isn't in your kitchen it's just outside of it so he can track 2 rooms with 1 camera and the pasta you made the other night looked really good
He has to test cameras somehow!!!😁
Been on TH-cam since 2015, regularly watch videos of all sorts and you're the first guy I decided to support, that should say a lot about how good your videos are. It really is a pain in the ass scrolling through all these unstructured biased reviews. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! I really appreciate your channel support!
@ProjectFarm I don't know where to leave a video suggestion, so ill leave it hear. I think you should compare bread toasters... the last two I've bought suck. Thanks for all your hard work 💪🏾 love your channel!
Test food containers! I was over at a friend's house for dinner, and they saved leftovers in a container that you can vacuum out air! Would that give you an extra day to prevent spoilage? You could test air tightness, durability through 10 dishwasher cycles, cost, weight, smell test after 3 days, can you measure bacteria growth easily? Baseline = plate of food in fridge with no covering or maybe saran wrap? @@ProjectFarm
@@ProjectFarmdigital calipers, original mitutoyo is very expensive, a lot of fake mitutoyo, maybe there are some high quality unknown brands...
@@pfoxhound I have iGaging Absolute Origin ones and I am very happy with them, a little spendy at ~$50 but they work great and I compared them to a Mitutoyo at work and they worked just the same
I would've assumed that larger casters would be better. Didn't realize they'd be harder to change direction. Thanks for the education!
So awesome that you don’t sell out - this is why you’re my go to for tool reviews
Thanks!
You got up from those creepers without rolling over, very impressive! Thank you for the review!
You are welcome!
Yeah, at 80 yrs old I am very envious at how easily you got up from the creepers!!! It's a major event for me!
I remember getting up without hands. Now I'm considering handicapped rails in my paintbooth at work.
Ditto!@@riccocool
I remember my dad picked up a random creeper that the Snap-On truck ran over on the highway. It was called "The Bone" had 5" or 6" wheels recessed on the corners. It was amazing, it would roll in the gravel even. Real handy working on semis and farm equipment. Had it 16 years before he shut the doors professionally but he still uses it at home
I have one of these myself, was hoping it was in his lineup to see how it stacked up to conventional creepers. Great creeper in my opinion, and almost indestructible. I've abused it for 12 years so far with no signs of stopping.
That thing looks great. I've never seen a creeper with wheels that good. Unfortunately, it looks like it's been discontinued. I guess people don't want to pay the price for good products.
Thanks for sharing.
I have one as well. Best creeper I ever bought
Omega bought the bone creeper and covid evidently shut them down but supposedly they are bringing it back. I have the bonester and the standard and love them both
The go-to for TH-cam reviews! Kudos to you for staying true to the scientific process and not being bought out by sponsors like most other TH-camrs.
This is very a informative video for those looking for a new creeper. I've had my Snap On creeper for over 30 years, long before any of these were available, and it is still like new, but dirty. Snap On has replaced the wheels replaced at no cost even when it was run over. New it was under $100. More often than not, you get what you pay for.
Thanks for the feedback.
Great video! As a mechanic that is over 6' and over 300lbs I have a dog bone (bonester) creeper I've had it for several years only having to replace the wheels. It's been the best creeper that I have used for a low profile plastic creeper
Thanks for the feedback.
"A person shaped like a cinder-block" killed me, thanks for that one!
have you done reviews on multi meters? would love to see your testing with em as i love your unbiased approach to things. much love your content and reviews, cant wait to see the next one.
I see from the reviews that I'm not the only one who greatly appreciates your service to mankind. Thank you.
Another great comparison! I have the plastic Pittsburgh and it's always been fine.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Hey Todd, we really appreciate you reviewing products you will never need. Us mere mortals don't have the ability to lift cars with our bare hands like you. So we appreciate you reviewing stuff we have to use.
Thanks!
I am very glad I watched this! The Daytona was on sale and I almost bought it! Definitely will just go with the Pittsburg! Thank you! I do wish the Icon would have been tested! I would really like to see Icon and Snap-On tools tested head to head. You do very great work! I know God blesses your integrity!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.

Audio is describing one creeper but the video is showing another. I do watch the channel alot and this is probably the first time I have ever seen an editing error. I do appreciate your work and hope you don't take this as a "haters comment"
Listen to him when he takes out the big red. they are the exact same body including logo, the wheels are the only difference.
"Softer than a Motel 6 mattress"! LOVE IT! My biggest problem is using a creeper on packed gravel. Yeah, I know - we need a shop with a floor...🤣 Great video!👍👍
Thank you for remaining to be honest and not littered with ads or selling out to a company for profits
Like my office chair, I changed my creeper wheels to roller blade wheels and i've never been more satisfied with a small mod.
Thanks for the feedback
Thanks, Todd! This will be so helpful!
"The Pittsburgh...made in China." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love it. _People come in all different sizes and shapes. So I'll go ahead and places an eight inch cinder block […] to represent a person shaped like a cinder block._
After breaking the little casters on 2 creepers, i finally spent the cash on a Bone creeper. They have 5" casters, are molded out of thick red plastic and have been fantastic. The creeper is over 10 years old and still going strong.
Thanks for the feedback.
There has never been and i believe will never an honest channel like project farm. Your works are highly appreciated 🙏🙏
Thanks so much!
I take your content as gold. Recently been having issues with Central Pneumatic die grinders at work (machinist). I’d love a die grinder episode. CN, ingersoll, Matco, snap on, etc. who’s best?? Best bearings? Torture test? Torque test? Best for getting in small spaces? Thanks Project Farm for all you do for us tradesmen and home craftsmen alike. God Bless
I used the 90* and straight CN 1/4” air grinders. Both lasted more or less 9mos (metal fabrication). Not daily use, but we did quite a bit of weld grinding and polishing for sanitary conveyor systems.
After blowing out bearing for the second time on both, I replaced them with Ingersoll. I used them for 4yrs with no issues until the shop had to close its doors
I’ll be honest, I didn’t oil the CN before use like I should, but DID oil the Ingersoll before use (2-3 drops). So take that for what it’s worth
I would love to see him do a review though
The quality of your videos is outstanding, as always. I just broke the transmission chain on my gas powered 7 hp soil tiller, and I thought I should write a comment here, maybe It could be an idea for a future video.
@projectfarm I have a few video testing ideas.
1. Truck tires, which o es are best for wear resistance, traction. And then traction in bad conditions, wet dry loose dirt etc.
2. Flashlights, small edc flashlights would be a great testing video. Testing Lumans vs claims, durability, battery life etc.
3. Car headlight bulbs: This would make a great video, testing beam pattern lumans, throw, and light colors.
Torque Test Channel has your 2&3 covered.
Another very good review! When my Lisle Jeepers Creepers, made in the USA, wears out I will review again. So far, it has performed very well for me - at 275" and currently 230#. The cost was $88 in June 2023. It does not have a tool caddy which I miss. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR REVIEWS.
Would love to see a test of solar and wired battery maintainers. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see you out on the trails at the wrecker games
Love to see a test on best antifreeze!!! Not seen one on TH-cam yet. Always love watching these and gives Facts.
Different cars use different antifreeze
I just love the fast narration. Most of the products I will not even think about buying. But still that voice and the videos are informative in general!
I have the Pittsburgh rolling bed since 1996. It is still going well and never failed me. Glad your test confirmed my choice. Thank you for a great rest video.
You are welcome!
One of the most useful channels on TH-cam
I have a harbor freight one, I drilled a few holes in it and filled it with spray foam. Its been 2 + years now and has not failed. I use it almost everyday.
Love the channel, keep on keepin on.
My favorite creeper is a nice big slick piece of cardboard. Preferably a box that is flattened that can be folded along a crease so the dirt and rust can be collected easily and just dumped into trash can. Pair it with a piece of old carpet, drag all your tools and parts under or out from under the vehicle in one move. Im sure creepers have their place, but the ability to slide and ROLL OVER on cardboard, plus the additional clearance just cant be beat.
Stay gold.
Thanks, will do! Thanks for sharing.
Love this, just bought a Pittsburgh creeper based on your recommendation (and I'm a pretty light dude, so I don't think I'll need anything heavy duty).
For upcoming videos, I'd love to see ones on puncture resistant insoles and OBDII scan tools.
The ultimate failure mode of my plastic creeper was cracking when I accidentally drove over it with my car. This video is just what i needed.
Thanks for sharing.
I swear you have camera's in my house or something. Everytime I'm looking for a new thing to buy, you make a video about it 😂 Awesome video, thank you
Thanks and you are welcome!
It was really great seeing a creeper that I own being put to the test. Fantastic testing as always! Thank you
Can’t wait for your tests on pro lube oil treatment!!! We’re all waiting for this
Thanks for the suggestion.
I bought one of those creepers a year and a 1/2 ago. Working in a big truck shop with no lifts. It's worth every penny. If you're an automatic with a lift, don't waste your money. But if you spend half your time on a creeper, buy it.
@projectfarm Thank you for all the good you do. Would you do a test on what stops rust the best in a pinch weld? (Wheel arches, cab corners, etc.) Using stuff like motor oil, seam sealer, weld through primer, copper weld, and so on
Please do Impact sockets? I love HFT’s Pittsburgh NOT the pro ones. But I’ve began to wear out the corners of the drive (where the anvil connects). Mine are super rounding out and I’m looking for reliability and strength in my sockets and don’t mind spending a little more on them. Don’t know if TEQ, Craftsman, Husky? I want a good warranty but also good reliability.
Thanks so much man, I’m a young mechanic and your videos get me through the week. I love all your content. ❤
This is the best TH-cam channel in the WORLD
Thanks so much!
Here's an idea: The best kitchen scale - how fast it responds to adding material, how stable it is (mine drifts over time so when I come back it has a different reading than when I left :-). How accurate it is for small and large weights. Features like pull out display to see better with big pots on top, etc. The biggest obstacle here is that there are about a bazillion different kitchen scales to choose from.
My nephew is in HS, but he's also a certified genius. It's not unusual for a kid his age to change their minds about the career they want to pursue, and he's no exception, but it's always either tech or science.
Last summer he was thinking software engineer with the goal of starting his own business. then theoretical physics, but recently he's saying either engineering or maybe architecture, because the real world applied and practical implementation of math, science and physics appeals to him more than other pursuits.
What's great about Project Farm is that it analyzes products in the practical and applied way products are most likely to be used, not some useless test method created to make a product look good but that no consumer will actually use the product.
I can't think of another opinion I trust so much , you have earned it. Thanks again!
You are welcome!
The motel 6 matress joke got me floored 😂
lol. Thank you!
I started with the Pittsburg from HF. Wheels were folding under. I made my own out of some leftover wood and heavy duty casters from HD. Works very well. I shaped it using the same form I used to make curved back dining room chairs and coopered leg table from Tommy Mac's show. Still watched the video anyway. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing!
Todd you’re too underrated. But people are catching up. Awesome to see you at 3 mil subs. I remember when you were sub 1 mil. Can’t wait for the 10 mil milestone. Thanks for your amazing informative well tested and humorous content. That cinder block comment made me laugh for hours.
You are welcome!
The review we never knew we needed.
Lucky to see the Pittsburgh scored where it did. My dad got one for his garage years ago. I might look for one myself since I started working on stuff at home instead of driving a couple hours to his place while my Jeep takes up my car lift over there.
Thanks for the feedback.
does anyone else like watching because how thorough he tests products, even though 99% of what he reviews i would never buy?
I threw my creepers away and use my wife's old Yoga Mats. Roll t😂hem up; add 2 lbs. to your emergency kit. No fuss, adds at least 3" extra working height, and your back stays dry.
Thanks for the feedback.
You could review toothpicks or salt-shakers and find interesting points of failure and notable differences.
Showing yourself physically getting on and off and how your head rests on these was AWESOME. You just keep delivering!!!!
oh yeah, anyone reading this be sure to LIKE his videos after watching, it helps somehow
Thanks!
One thing to consider is warranty. I bought a Snap On creeper 30 years ago and after I’d had it approximately 20 years the rubber on the wheels started to separate. Guess what, Snap on warrantied it no problem. It was 80$ back then and expensive for the time. It’s made in the USA and has been a great investment
I doubt that even the manufacturers do such a comprehensive test of their products. brilliant video.
Thanks!
Even when I have no interest in the products being tested, I watch because I enjoy your skills in creating relevant and visual tests (Not sure if people appreciate how hard it is to create a good test that is relevant and consistent. making it visual, entertaining and understandable for a layman is really hard).
(and «the representing people shaped liked bricks comment made me laugh😂)
Thanks for watching!
I greatly appreciate the fact you don’t let sponsorship enter the review arena. Makes me trust the results.
I never believe the “this is sponsored, but they can’t dictate what’s in the review” disclaimer. Not a chance that getting it for free wouldn’t alter the perception.
Todd, great review as always!
Can you consider testing rechargable head lamps?
When working on or under almost anything; they are indispensable. Let’s see a test on a few!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Super comprehensive review. Your ingenuity in creating testing methods is very entertaining. Suggestion: How about testing boot/shoe inserts (padded/gel/other)? Maybe Cousin Eddie can help???
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
As a retired mechanic, I've used all kinds of creepers. The best creeper by a big margin was not even in your test. The Bone Creeper is the best creeper I have ever owned.
you should definitely do a video on respirator replacement cartridges. I would be very interested in the outcome on how much dust gets through the different types
I bought the Pittsburgh a day before this video came out. I was very pleased with is performance and I paid 27 dollars.
Thanks for sharing.
An updated review of portable tire inflators would be awesome since a lot of the old tire inflators in the previous video are no longer made.
I'm guilty of only watching your videos that may have a direct influence on products I may or have purchased or use of those products but your channel undoubtedly provides very informative and valuable information to a very wide and diverse audience. Your testing methods are extremely well thought out and your knowledge, abilities and presentation skills really shine through, making your channel one of the best on the TH-cam platform. We all appreciate you. I look forward to many more to come. Be safe and be well.
Superb testing and reporting - thenks!
Here is a viewer suggestion, heart rate monitors, like fitbit/smart watches, chest straps, the new rings like whoop. Anyway, it would be great to see a non-biased review to see what does the best job.
Retired Snapon franchise owner of 35 years here. One advantage of the Snapon for a professional technician who uses a creeper daily is that the casters carry a lifetime warranty. At least they did three years ago when I retired. I replaced probably over one thousand in my time with Snapon. Techs are notoriously hard on their tools and equipment! Love the channel!
But, at $300, you could have bought a lot of nicer casters for the other creepers. The casters on all of the creepers tested were very cheep casters. Where I work we use castors that hold thousands of pounds and they still wouldn't cost $300. I just can't see the point in buying a snap on creeper for $300 when there is less than $40 worth of material. Are we saying that it takes $260 worth of labor to make it? Snap-on must have a huge overhead.
@@dustinroberson1865Don’t forget about Matco. Their tools are grossly overpriced just like snap-on. I simply refuse to pay those prices. It’s highway robbery.
They weren’t $300 then. I don’t think they were even $200.
I have the grey Pittsburgh creeper from Harbor Freight. I only need it to do oil changes anymore, but it’s been reliable and a lot more comfortable than laying on a piece of cardboard. There were a bunch of reports where the wheels broke through the plastic, but I stand at 5’-11” and weigh 225 and have had no issues or problems rolling over the seams and cracks on my garage floor. Any of these newer style creepers are far and away better than the old wooden ones that used the angled steel swivel wheels. Great video!
Thanks!
Great reviews as always, I watched all the way through and I don't even need a creeper.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for taking my idea of testing creepers and creating this review. Great work, PF!
Idea: Backpacking Backpack
If you were to go on a 3 month backpacking trip through Europe, which backpack would you use?
- 60-70 L capacity
- weight not exceeding 35 pounds
- some moderate camping
- moderately cool temperatures.
Brands, prices, and reviews have my head spinning.
Thank you for all you do ProjectFarm!
Thank you for all the information you provide. It has to take a lot of time with the number of tests you do, but it really helps getting all of the results you provide to make an informed decision. Thanks again!
You should try the "Magic Creeper". It has NO wheels and the lowest possible height - its basically a continuous roll of super slippery material on the inside, so it's like a mat that you lay on, but you can effortlessly slide back and forth. It's also wider so you can put your tools next to you and they slide with you. Also since its basically a mat, it works on uneven ground :)
Love the unbiased opinion on everything you test. One creeper I really like to use is called a bone creeper. 100% USA made.
With the warmer months about to creep in, it would be amazing to see you do some rigorous testing on Cooler brands.
Yeti, RTIC, Lifetime, Pelican, Coleman, Igloo, Arctic Zone, and some of the house brands for Cabela's, Bass Pro, Home Depot, Lowes, Menards brands!
Love all of your non-biased videos!
Perfect timing for this review! HF just put a coupon up for the Pittsburgh creeper bringing it down to $25, making it an absolute no brainer imo. I grabbed it yesterday and this solidified for me that it's a great choice.
As a new home owner, these are the things we want to buy, but we rely on your videos to decide what ones we get...
Air purifier, humidifier, steam cleaner (for furniture), oven cleaner and toilet bowl/bathtub cleaner
I have the plastic Pittsburgh creeper. I agree with your results. I have had several others over the years as well. I appreciate your unbiased reviews as you are unsponsored. That says alot about your character friend!
Thanks!
I have the snap on creeper with the adjustable head rest and it is the best creeper you can buy. I'm a heavy duty mechanic and some work days i spend 8+ hours on my creeper. I have used many but if you can do 50 bucks a month its affordable. Most others work good but are so lightweight and flimsy they are semi disposable like work boots. Ive had the snap on creeper for over a year now and its in amazing condition. two guys in my shop have the same one but one is 8 years old and one is 5 years old. The one got ran over by a tri drive twin steer crane truck and he just bent it back into shape and he still uses is.
I know it’s impossible to cover everything but the bone creeper not being on this test is a shame but after looking it seems to be unavailable. It’s a different kind of breed that should be bought out or reproduced from someone. However your data acquisition and ability to come up with test for random/odd items is top notch. Don’t see how you do it. Keep up the great work.
I own that Pittsburgh creeper. Both center wheels have broken off and are not fixable. I’m watching this video in hopes of replacing it soon.
Thanks for watching!
As usual, I learned things I never considered. Another great video. Thanks🏆
Thanks and you are welcome!
