A plurality of creeper wheels having mounts are attached in a spatial relationship on the outside of a bottom panel to provide tool creeper movement that can readily follow a similar movement of the mechanic in a work space. Additionally, a proximal top surface has a pivotally attached lid for easy access and securement of the contents inside the tool creeper. On the rear of the tool creeper is a power cord socket to provide AC and DC power available for use in the work area. AC and DC power outlets are provided at a side panel of the tool creeper.
