Knee pads gives good safety to contractors but safety means a contractor safety is more important than the project and also he need to protect himself along with roof safety.

Re: Best knee pads?


Lately it seems like fewer big box stores are carrying the leather knee pads. Have always worn these and have tried a few of the plastic/rubber ones and never get much life out of them.

For years used to use the ones from my old fastener supply house but when the manufacturing moved from US to Mexico the quality went down the straps would break. They were leather with a double section riveted to the top. $35 a pair, worth every penny.
