Toughbuilt gel knee pads.

[CJ]

I've yet to find a pair of knee pads that I can get on with? Tried allsorts, but with my skinny legs, they always end up moving about too much. I have got a pair of red backs somewhere, but never used, as it can't find them........will stick to my foam pad that just gets kicked about......at least till I find the red backs.

I did read on Twitter that redbacks are releasing the strap on version of their knee pads in the new year. .. I might wait till then .

 

[afright]

I know an old floor screeder who makes his from tryes .The only good ones I ever had was from the coal pit I always got them from the miners but now thats all gone its been hard to find a good pair.

thought about giving them a try but think ill order some more platinums they seem to work for me

Cheers Sean , interesting point on the digging into the leg... Is the padding to the knee good ?

Yes the padding is very good. I've recently had swelling on the knee and it's been uncomfortable for a few weeks and after using these I couldn't feel any pain. I wasn't looking forward to the straps but again they are brill and don't dig into your legs

 

[afright]

Sml tiling ,how have you got on with the nib on the pads I feel that it tends to push you forward and works the kneepad to the side.but admit they are comfortable.

Haven't really noticed it. Next time I wear them I'll post again

had my new ruby pads on to day 14 quid in ctd . get a new pair every month. did 32mts sq of karndean flooring no problems at all not bad for a bloke of 54

I have them ray , far from comfortable compared to Alpro's.. Far from comfort indeed.

redbacks for me, years of no knee pads and this is the damage now ;(

all i know dave is ive tried every type of pad over my many years of tiling and yes your knees are the most important joint for a tiler 6 yrs ago i gave up squash because the game was doing my knees in. all im saying is i find i put my pads on in the morning and were them all day i dont even know wearing them most of the time they are good foam pads moulded for the knee half of the more expensive pads ive had tend to slip round the side and as im still going strong at 54 there must be ok so far
if you get a pair next time i see you you can show me i might be converted .

Alpros for me, for comfort, but with gaffer tape around the pad and your leg, as the straps are not up to much.
