While waiting for my redbacks to come I went & tried those dewalt pads, for a tenner it aint that bad, comfy enough, cheers for info

Just got my redbacks from TT in the usual quick time only ordered them yesterday. I get Gout in my knees and usually after doing floors, I do use Rubi at the moment, so I hope these will be better no straps to cut off the circulation. Tried them without the trousers and they feel more comfortable than the Rubis'. Will be using them in a couple of weeks.

Oh man.
I've recently bought and have been using today the ALPRO RED Knee Pads.
They are amazing.
So comfortable, what a joy.
My plumber mate saw them (previously addicted to running, had to give it up due to his knackered knees) and after he had finished taking the ( REMOVED ) out of how they looked he tried them on - he was impressed.
So comfy - worth the cost.

I use foam inserts and they last about 6 months, looking at the redbacks or snickers beanbags. I get patella tendonitis (years and years of cricket and then a working life on my knees. Used kneeling pads for a few years, cheap and decent but if you used it on a porous floor and it was a little damp it would leave a little pattern which needed to be polished out. Good thread. ta.

Well i can say i have never worn knee pads tried but could get on with them , my knees have never played me up in 34 years , will wear pads on some commercial jobs but i have to take them off as i get bad back ache , i would recommend everybody to wear them , but its to late for me , make my son wear them all the time and anyone that works for me

bought my Redbacks and am sending them back. They are too bulky for the pouches in my work pants and are so heavy they almost pull teh pants down. Shame as they look and feel really good.

I have trouble with a bunion on my big toe from always kneeling down fitting the bathrooms and tiling so the height issue could be a problem with the alpros.

Ive been using Redbacks and think they are brilliant, very comfy. A bit of a battle to get them in and out of the pockets but thats their only con. Theyre well worth the cost. (although i didnt buy mine🙂 )

I was going ask what knee pads people used then came across this post. Have been using the Snickers bean bags but find they wear out quite quickly, have now ordered some redbacks as replacements, cheers!
