I don't like them but when doing any type of flooring I use them. If I don't my knees know the difference after a 9 hour day. If I am running baseboard or something like that I do with out.

Wear the knee pads. Or by the time you are 60 you will wake up every morning and be looking for the Advil. Trust me!

I always hated them until I tried these, they're pretty comfortable and most importantly they are a breeze to take off and put on, just one velcro strap. I think I found them at Lowes for about $25.

I am pretty young also, 28. I had a knee injury last year and have a family history of knee problems. After much research I found these highly recomended by alot of floor guys that are on there knees all day. http://www.proknee.com/index2.html

I ordered them the begining of this year and absolutly love them. They are expensive but worth every penny. They have no pressure on your knees what so ever. Your knees allow you to do work and bring in the checks so it's worth the initial expense in my mind.

I have a set, but usually forget to wear them. I'm 59 and have never had problems with my knees (other than getting up after being on them for an hour or so). The real stinker is that without them, you can ruin a perfectly good pair of pants in about 15 minutes or less.

Oh yeah well around here we call Texans, documented Mexicans!

and a Texan master electrician ... a liar!

^^^Yeah, and that thing hanging between your legs is a Texas Toothpick. Seriously folks, Pro Knees are one of the best investments I've made.

USE THEM! Mine are always around my ankles when I'm walking around but when I need them, they're right there.

THAT'S A BIG TOOTHPICK!
WHAT, YOU NEVER SEEN A 2X4 TOOTHPICK!

Funny, I hear them referred to as Texas tennies here.

Whats with the footwear analogy?

I wear these occasionally http://www.hatch-corp.com/detail.aspx?pid=KP250 , I usually forget and start working and think "gee I really should go get me knee pads so I don't end up like my father".

ProKnees. Best investment ever.

After about a year of contemplating, I just got a Racatac. Very nice. I love it.

I wear them all the time, get a good GEL type. Years down the road you will be glad

if the back of your knees are sensetive then get some skateboard kneepads with the full spandex type sock you put your leg through. They are very comfy. And tough too. Those proknees look awesome
