A handy attachment for a mechanics creeper that provides a tool storage tray and a plurality of lights for illuminating areas of a vehicle body that would otherwise be indistinct. One or more high intensity lights are mounted on the attachment to illuminate partially hidden vehicle surfaces, e.g. grease-encrusted bolt heads recessed upwardly within small clearance spaces. The attachment includes means for operatively mounting thereon dry cell batteries, used to power the lights.

An attachment for a floor creeper having a headrest at one of its ends; said attachment comprising a U-shaped wall structure that includes two laterally spaced channels (30) adapted to extend horizontally along opposite side edge areas of a floor creeper, and a third channel (54) extending transversely between said laterally spaced channels at the headrest end of the creeper; each of the laterally spaced channels having a horizontal web wall (32) and two downwardly extending flanges; said third channel including a web wall (56) and two upwardly extending flanges; said channels being located in a common horizontal plane, and the web walls of the laterally spaced channels being in approximate planar alignment with the upper face of the creeper when the attachment is installed thereon; spacing between the laterally spaced channels being at least as great as the width of the creeper so that the channels are located outside the plan dimension of the creeper; an elongated opening in the web wall of each of the laterally spaced channels; a fluorescent light arranged within each one of the laterally spaced channels directly below the associated opening whereby the fluorescent lights are adapted to illuminate undersurface areas of an automotive vehicle; and a high intensity light mounted on the web wall of at least one of the laterally spaced channels; each high intensity light including a flexible tube means extending upwardly from the associated channel web wall, whereby the high intensity light can be adjusted as to its direction and spacing from the associated web wall; said third channel having opposite ends thereof closed by the laterally spaced channels, whereby said third channel constitutes an upwardly opening tool tray.
