Knee Pads..... What To Buy

n2otoofast4u · 2025-01-31T19:59:46+0000

Just get your jokes out of the way now............ Are you done yet?

I am getting ready to do the floors in my house, and I will be on my damn knees for a freaking week or more. It has been years since I have been in the field where I was adamant about knee pads. To the current trade folks, what are the ones to buy?

Roosky01 · 2025-01-31T20:02:35+0000

I'll ask the wife and get back to you.

Seriously though, I'm going to be tackling our floors soon so thanks for the question!

I like the pads more than the knee pads.

Typically I do as well, but when doing flooring, it seems like it’s always in the fkn way and never where you need it.

I would recommend getting bib overalls that have pockets for knee pad inserts. You’ll find it’s much more comfortable than the strap on pads which tend to slip around.

Since everyone is gonna have this on their mind might as well post it

I use these just used some yesterday for a concrete patch
I must have 6-8 sets
Very comfortable

poncho · 2025-01-31T20:16:30+0000

I have these for around the house and they work great, I often forget they are on even when I'm done with them as they are really comfortable.
I also have a professional pair of Milwaukee's I find I use less and less, I'm not a tradesman wearing them every day.

I am a knee pad hater. I built most of my house with the Milwaukee knee pads but I hate the double straps and they would often slide down.

A set of Marshalltown knee pads got dropped in front of my house so I gave them a try. They are AWESOME. I use them all the time. Comfortable and durable.

I can grab a pic when I get to my work truck. Most are junk and don't help much after a while.

Desert Whaler · 2025-01-31T20:38:24+0000

Same as @DLC ….
Here’s mine … I think they’re the beefier ones …. Used to be called ‘Leather Heads’ I think… made by Troxell.

They are comfortable w/shorts & don’t snag the hair off the back of your legs.
Sometimes I’ll just throw them on the ground & use them as a kneeling pad if I don’t need to actually wear them.

Tee-hee!!! Fags.

with two titanium knees although My Orthopedic surgeon says its OK I am still scared of the kneeling , in both case the Patella was "resurfaced" but it still freaks me out

That’s strange. I have two titanium knees also. I can’t even come close to kneeling on them. Feels like somebody shove the dowel under my knee. Kind of flipping out now cause I think I’m gonna have to have a re-re-replacement done.

I think I read that "back in the day" that kneeling post replacement was tabu , Both mine have had "the Pattela resurfaced" whatever that really means but my Doc says kneel away I use a gardening foam pad but it still scares me ................. a couple weeks back I stubbles near my garge and went down on my knees on concrete , Scared the bejeezus out of my but got up and all was good

Patella resurfacing in knee replacement1 2 3 4 5 involves removing the underside of the kneecap and replacing it with a plastic surface1. It can be done during total knee replacement surgery 1 3 or as a partial knee replacement 2 3. However, there is controversy about its use in total knee arthroplasty 5

I second these. My brother has a tile business and turned me on to them. Like having pillows on your knees.

Mike Honcho · 2025-01-31T21:35:59+0000

These actually work well for tile and I used to use it for LVP install and then on the small end areas go to a foam mat. Good luck with whatever you end up with, this style relieves low back pain with the seat support.

Same here but only one knee. There is no f**king way I can kneel on it. I’ve tried but no way.

Yeah but then you miss out on the cool factor of bib overalls.

Baja 252 · 2025-01-31T22:41:43+0000

I don’t know the brand but a few years ago I bought an expensive pair at Home Depot that were gel. I’ve had a knee replacement and my other knee isn’t much better, they have held up great and have worked great for me.

The best part about this thread is realizing I can’t tag Grads!!!!

JUSTWANNARACE · 2025-01-31T23:42:26+0000

Need $$ for boat parts huh

These are what most of my guys are using. They wear them all day everyday even when they aren't doing anything on their knees. Dont know why, doesn't make sense to me but whatever

My knees hurt just reading this thread.

Sawtooth · 2025-02-01T00:39:12+0000

Troxell for the win for sure. The strap doesn’t pinch behind your knee. I wear shorts year round and these are the only pads I will wear. An 80+ year old guy that still does real hardwood floors turned me on to them.

Mini Kat · 2025-02-01T00:46:24+0000

Have you thought about just hiring some day labor to do it I hear this chick is available now

Didn't you hear? The titanium is a status symbol!

If I kneel more than 15-20 seconds with the kneecaps on a hard surface, the skin tears and bleeding begins. It's one of my awards for being an adventurous dipshit as a teenager

riverroyal · 2025-02-01T01:47:26+0000

One thing that has been a issue now that I'm older is never considered my toes.
You are also on your toes when on knees.
Now my big toes are jacked. Being in the trade nobody ever mentioned this.

They make knee pads that have padding in the calf as well. So you can basically put weight in that area, like sitting.

At 55 my knees are fine. Toes not so much

Do they make them in a Kamala Signature Series?
