Best knee pads

[plumb_know]

i was wondering if any one could recommend a quality pair of knee pads, as the company i work for only provide rubbish thin foam ones, so i went and bought some gel ones from b and q but these are still not providing sufficient support.

suggestions would be great

 

[Keefy]

I was going to recommend gel ones but you don't seem to think they're any good, what exactly don't you like about them?

 

[gavinwilson]

skateboarding/paint balling type knee pads? thats what i use

 

[plumb_know]

the gels i have are ok but was just wondering if there was anything better or if there was a particular make of gel pads that any one would recommend

 

[gavinwilson]

my old man who was an asphalter used to make his own out of car tyres probably why his knees are knackered now lol

If its pads in pocket you want then these are the best Home | Redbacks Kneepads

 

[johnnyplumb]

i use these snickers kneepads Snickers Non-Slip Knee Pads Pair | NoLinkingToThis

there not the cheapest, but i have'nt found anything better.
the redbacks shown above are also good kneepads, but i found them a shade on the heavy side.

I use the snickers pads in the trousers, nice and comfy and in the right place. Had a pair of Irwin gel ones that were really comfy for 15 minutes and then the fastenings would dig into the back of my knees.

Can't do with the strap on ones , I like the ones that fit in the pockets

You lot need to get off your knees and get some work done! :hand:

 

[PlumbBobBob]

i've get some strap on kneepads somewhere in the shed. same problem as others the straps dig in.

 

[Guest123]

Two nappies tucked into the knee slot of your work trousers. The tabs don't slip. Plus if you use Pampers and you kneel on a wet floor, no problem.

If it's good enough for my daughters bum, it's good enough for me.

Strap on for me everytime.

We're on our knees praying that our flexies don't leak...

I use the irwin strap on ones but dont use the strap either leave them in the pad or cut the tabs off

[plumb_know]

cheers for all the replies, i will give those redbacks ago i think

 

[GrahamM]

Those redbacks look the business. Just ordered a pair.
Been using the snickers ones for last few years, but the foam compresses and gives less cushioning after a while, so I am buying new pair every few months.

Cheers for link Mr D.

I've been using snickers floor laying kneepads for 2 years now, same pair and still like new. You can leave them in your trousers when washed and are like kneeling on air. The best £20 I ever spent as I spend half my time tiling floors.

 

[barronbathrooms]

Been using red backs for the last 2 months my knees feel like new. I should be on commission put all the lads onto them! Tile trader sell them sent out next day!

 

[Gray0689]

[Roger Welton]
