best work trousers

still using the same work pants from 3 years ago!

for my carpentry etc i use snickers but for tiling i only use dunnes finest. 8 euro and last years. im in the market for cheap ones for tiling as they get distroyed in addy.
i hate all the pockets too. i have a habit of putting my pencils etc in my pocket,on the snickers you could have one in each pocket.

I cannot use strap on kneepads, so use the snickers floorlayers trousers. The last ones I bought were the new design of these and lasted no-where near as long as the previous ones.
They're not cheap but the old ones lasted well so were worth it, With these new ones now I'm not so sure, so watching this with interest
