• Screwfix's finest (Site) take kneepads and cost about £15, the trousers don't last long, but the pads never die. They fit me reasonably well and I don't give a damn when they get shredded.

    Those braces do look a good idea, but I still just about have hips and a tightly cinched belt has done the job adequately so far.

  • the missus picked up a pair of these yesterday. i can already tell she is going to live in them.

  • The problem is that I have big hips, and I always hang my drill off my pocket on the hook. Add in some other tools/fixings in the pockets, and the weight of the kneepads, you end up with quite a bit of weight on your hips, which gets uncomfortable as the day goes on.
