Core77
I was watching this clip of workers laying tile using a jig…
(via u/BigGreenHeads)
…but became more interested in the wheeled green thingie than the jig. I looked them up, and found these knee creepers go for about $40 on Amazon or from suppliers like Global Industrial.
I also learned that a company called Milescraft sells a split version called KneeBlades; they're basically kneepads with wheels.
The wheeled dolly parts can be detached from the kneepads.

I'm not sure if the KneeBlades are any better than the one-piece knee creepers--I'd be worried about inadvertently doing a painful split--but they are pricier, at $60.
I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Kneepads with Wheels, for Tradespeople Who Work on Floors
It looks like you'd be able to propel yourself around much more easily with the individual kneeblades, like the difference between using skis vs a snowboard on flat ground.
