Growing up, my dad was a bodyman and painter (he started around 12-13) and he always had a Lisle Jeepers Creepers that barely functioned. Never understood the design of casters with the slanted wheels that never rolled, but it kept him off the cold floor of our garage in the long PA winters. Not sure whatever happened to his original one, but I saw one just like his at a flea market in near pristine condition, I had to get it. I knew my brother had a fondness for those memories of my dad as well, so fortunately, I found another one just like my dad's old one on eBay shortly after I got this one so when I won the auction, I sent it to my brother as a surprise. It was great, and he loves it like my dad loved his just because it's so much a part of my dad.
