No, you definatly need to use a creeper for under
car work. But it's at the perfect height for a
mechanics chair on the side of the car, like brake work.
You really wouldn't want to use a chair anyway.
That causes you to hyperextend the shoulders and the
neck. It wouldn't take long before that got real
uncomfortable. A creeper makes an excellent sup****t
for your lower back.
Also, it's difficult to lift in the upright
position. I can easily install my IRS diff while lying
on a creeper. Kind of like doing a push up. I would
think it would be more diffcult if I was upright.
