Knee Pads

[anode]

can anyone tell me the name of a good pair of knee pads? it getting summer down here and the long pants have to go.

I am not sure what brand they were, but when I used to help pour concrete I'd wear them. That was before they came out for gardening also. I know you can find them at any nursery oulet or Menards, Lowes, etc.. I know they save your pants from getting ruined, as I have found out lately. smg

I don't go out without them, ever. They save on pants AND on my knees. I got a pair from White's for $13.00, and I also have a pair of Mongoose pads that are used for things such as rollerblading. They are the ones I use the most. I like the pads with 2 straps, not just 1.

I just went down to a wholesale tool outlet and got a cheap ($6) pair with hard plastic knee caps and Velcro straps. Have worn them everyday for the last three months. Straps are showing a little wear, but when they go, I'll probably go back and get any identical pair.

I went to Lowe's and got a pair that are used for flooring/general construction. Moderately priced (around $20-$30 for the pair I think) but this pair had gel inserts that are supposed to make them more comfortable. You can definitely get a pair for far less money though at a lot of different hardware/home improvement stores.

They also have some great gloves, shirts and pants too. The shirts keep you real cool in hot weather and the pants give you extra room in all the right places. You should get a free catalog from them.

Get this....I paid a buck for the ones I use at a yard sale. Work great for me. Who says this needs to be expensive?

I got mine for $4.00, at Pamida so I bought 2 pair... Just like yours though the straps are fraying some. The hard plastic caps are nice though.
