  • Any recommendations for knee pads for occasional use? Virtually every time I'm doing DIY at some point I think this hurts my knees. Something separate rather than trouser inserts.

    Also, any recommendation for a mask for sanding and stuff? I just buy disposable ones at the moment but wondering if it is worth getting a proper one.

    Cheers

  • These knee pads and a 3M mask according to budget/needs - replaceable filters if needed.

  • I dont really like strap on knee pads, I find they cut off the circulation and prefer a knee pad.

    I got this cracking macapline one recently

  • Def get a proper one. I wish I'd bought one when we bought our place. They're not even that expensive eg

    ^maybe cheaper elsewhere.

    For knee stuff, if it's occasional I'd just go to the pound shop and get a garden kneeing pad and a set of knee pads.

    E.g. For working on my motorbike I find it much easier to have a pad to move around. Then for the few times I'm on my knees for a long time the cheapo pads I have are fine.

    Obviously if it's heavy regular use, treat yourself.

    But definitely get a decent mask.

  • mask - face fit is important (all very what was learnt form COVID like) and obviously not generic, I think I'll make my next one a 3m - nice and rubbery (but don't 100% know the market), I have JVP P3 and P3 A2 - more weight and rubber (to fit face) on the P3 A2 . If the "stuff" and long exposure contains vapor i.e. Strine two part filler, cellulose thinners, or oil paint the A2 part is needed.. my rule is even with the smallest bit of rubbing down (even with a 240/320 grit) wear the mask..
