Knee Pads
A working day in your garage, workshop, or backyard leaves you feeling sore all over. Bruises, scratches and smears seem to be the best indicator that we have worked and worked hard. Well it turns out it does not need to be like that. With the help of just a few useful safety gear accessories you can make most professional and hobby automotive repair, maintenance, metal-/ woodworking projects cleaner, more pleasant, and less straining. Knee pads are one of them.
The list of jobs that require you working on your knees is inexhaustible. Fixing leaking pipes, scrubbing the floor, working on your vehicles' tires and brakes, planting flowers of weeding your garden - to tackle all these and a range of other jobs, you will have to kneel down and remain in that pretty uncomfortable position for prolonged periods of time. Soft knee pads and kneeling mats will create a comfortable cushioning layer between your knees and the terrain they are positioned onto, thus making it easier to work on bumpy surfaces, hard concrete, or gravel. Durable yet comfy, knee pads prevent bruises, back pain, etc.
Knee pads are the perfect solution for people who need to get up and down as well as reposition themselves quite often during the working process. Constructed from soft and stretchy materials, knee pads will fit most sizes and feature convenient neoprene Velcro straps. Front caps that are typically made of durable non-skid, water-, oil-, and acid-resistant foam gel or plastic shells will ensure superior knee protection. Knee pads are sold as a pair and feature ergonomic left and right knee design. Apart from shielding your knees from impacts like cuts and abrasions, knee pads also provide extra support and stability.
Kneeling mats should be opted for if you spend long time working on the same spot on the ground and there is no need for moving around a lot. Kneeling mats provide a much larger cushioning and shock absorption surface. Kneeling pads are typically made from thick closed-cell foam rubber on the top side and tough non-slip poly material on the underside. These comfortable ergonomic mats will not absorb liquids and are thus impervious to oil and other petroleum products. They can be easily cleaned with soap. Kneeling pads or mats typically feature a carrying handle for convenient storage and portability.
