I need one that will float me

I need one that will float me around OVER the layout to get at those hard-to-reach places that were ill planned!

At $12,000 I think I can live

At $12,000 I think I can live without it,  would probably be cheeper to hire someone to climb under the layout,.

If it is $12,000.00 & you want one, better order it soon.

I don't know of any mechanic that would want to pay $12,000.00 for a brake stool/creeper.  I think that the company will be either out of business or stop production on that thing in short order.  I think you can still buy a full size hoist for a car for around $2,000.00-$2,500.00.

Cost

I would have to be a dealer or shop that buys it depending on what kind of productivity improvement they could get out of it. At that point, $12k might be well worth it. Or maybe not, I don't know that much about how mechanics move around cars on a day to day basis.
