Better the pads wear than your knees

If they are comfortable and save your knees, in 20 years will you complain how much they cost. Not unless you've bougt 40 pairs by then!


Timeless John.

You have'nt, just lift your knee's when moving about rather than scraping across the floor

I have been looking at these knees pads from Tradetiler and will youlet me know how they perform please...

There comfortable,the single strap sits on the top of the calf muscle rather than into the back of the knee

thanks for the replies guys i know my knees are worth more than 50 quid every couple of months but am just coming away from Rubi pads that i seem to tear a set every 1 or 2 months
the obvious thing would be to lose some weight but i do like a or three every now and then and i think the Rubi ones have gone down in quality in the last few years anyway cause they used to last a lot longer

can I borrow my x rays of my knees from my doctors? I'd love to show you what not wearing kneepads does to your knees!

no probs mate will do
i got some of the platinum ones the other day but had to send them back as they came down to the bottom of my shins and it felt like i was kneeling on a kerb they were so thick

these ones seem lovely loads of length on the straps and as said the strap is a lot further down your leg so know painful red sore in the back of your knees

Sound good already....look forward to youe views on them....


Anybody else not seen them then here they are...

i have been wearing these pads for 3 years now.unbelievably comfortable and dont worry about the build quality.they are german remember.when grouting make sure to clean them with the sponge too.i have let various tradesmen try them on and all agree that they are class.i would't tile without mine.id say ill get another few years out of them too.i have even taken the grinder to them at times.lol.a truly great purchase for any tiles even if they aint pretty! Who cares when your knees are protected like that!

Had them a year and a half, no problems with wear, velcro still good and more importantly my knees are not in bad shape!

Wouldnt be without them!

right used them for a job this past week and after the **** taking by others was over i must say they are the softest pads on the knee i have ever used the straps were an absolute joy as well no more cut line in the back of my knee they did rub a little on the front but i will get used to that and if im ultra critical as they are quite thick i did tend to fall off them a little but all in all they get a big from me
