    knees and concrete

    What are you guys using to protect your knees from the concrete garage floor while you polish for hours at a time?

    I've got a low mechanics seat and I very rarely have my knee on the ground. Here's a link.

    Re: knees and concrete

    Most of the time, I'm fortunate to have the Snap-On lift at the shop. But, for interior work and door sills, I'm on the floor on my knees.

    There's a mechanic's seat which I could use, but I don't care for it.

    So, in my search for knee comfort I found that Levi's have a "Signature" pair of work jeans with double material sewn in to the knee area and a side pocket that holds a plastic bottle. I found them at Wal-Mart near the Dickie's work shirts and CarHart work stuff. Pretty good pair of pants for $23 and they add some comfort for working on your knees.

    Knee pads I go to HD and get the cheap ones, about ten dollars. I have gone through a few pair. I find them to work the best, since it gives me the most movability while working.
