Patent ID: 11364619

Abstract:
A creeper for scooting around on top of decking for decking installation, maintenance, and/or repair activities may minimize injury to a human user's knees and/or back. Movement-means of the creeper, such as, but not limited to, casters may be attached at or near a bottom of a base of the creeper to facilitate such scooting around. A seat may be attached to a top of the base of the creeper, wherein the seat may be sat upon by the human user during use of the creeper. Also attached to the base of the creeper may be a drill-guide. The drill-guide may facilitate controlled and repeatable predrilling of pilot holes, at predetermined angles (e.g., perpendicular) into decking planks and/or into joists. The creeper may also facilitate attachment of decking members, with the pilot holes, to joists.
