A must have for the job site. A little bulky and clumsy to get used to at first but I used to blow through knee pads left and right until I found these. The full length are a great option as well, don't think twice, buy them. Everyone Ive talked to who owns a set says it was one of the best purchases they ever made

Wish I owned these sooner. Fantastic knee savers.

Best of the best.

At least 20x more comfortable than any other knee pad I’ve used since I started installing flooring last month. They stay in place, have better protection, and are resisting compression better than all the other knee pads I’ve tried.

I don’t like writing reviews. Who cares what I think? But I want you to protect your knees. These are awkward to use at first because they are flat so you have to make sure they’re under your knees when you kneel and not slipping to the side before you put your knees down. Once your knees are down and the pads are in the correct position, you can forget about them and start doing your work. I’m accustomed to them now and I don’t think about this aspect of them much. I like that the rubber part is white so that it doesn’t cause marks on my client’s floors. Even if I’m just doing a consultation for a client and taking measurements for something not on the ground, it seems I always end up needing these because I need to look underneath something, or they ask me to look at their landscaping irrigation while I’m there etc. so I keep these in my every day use consultation toolbox. My knees are tough and I can get away without using these in dirt but I want to protect my knees, plus rocks digging into my knees distracts me from taking measurements and troubleshooting problems for clients. I have enough distractions when I’m covered in sweat, I’m answering calls and texts and I’m a mosquito buffet. I don’t need rocks in my knees as an additional distraction. These are made in the USA and you can get replacement parts if your plastic buckle gets in the way of your closing truck door (which would never happen to any of us since the cabs of our trucks are clean and organized and there aren’t any candy bar wrappers from gas stations stuffed between the seats so that they don’t blow out the window when our windows are down). I’m a full time professional contractor. If something happened to my knee pads I’d buy another pair without thinking about it as I need them to make money. If you can’t afford these knee pads right now I understand. Maybe you have a birthday or Christmas coming up. Find an excuse or a way to get some of these if you can. A new tool is definitely more exciting than knee pads, but if you’re able to spend more time on the ground, you can make more money and have good knee pads and the new tool that you want. It takes only one day of ground work in a bad pair of knee pads to leave you hoping that you aren’t on that same groundwork / floor work the following day. (This review was written by my knees so that other knees could read it.) Take care from a fellow member of the always clean work truck crew. (Ha)
