Hi Clark,
I REALLY want to see the answer to this question of a GOOD creeper.  I had 
the exact same experience with the creeper and it is now garbage, but maybe 
I will do welding on mine also.  Too bad you need to remake what should 
have been designed properly in the first place.  The stool/seat with 
tool/parts storage below it is even worse!  Not only does three wheels 
versus four make for a dangerous situation, but the flimsy plastic they use 
for the tool tray breaks when you look at it crosswise.  Pure junk 
also.  Looks a LOT better on the box than it really works.
