Hi all,
I’m on a commercial job installing base (about 2miles of it!) and need advice on who makes a good pair of knee pads. I bought one of those anti-fatigue mats at Sam’s Club and have a pair of Craftsman gel pads but looking for some serious comfort.
Help is much appreciated.

If you're wiorking on concrete, or another hard surface that does not need to be protected, get some pads with the hard plastic pads so you can slide across the floor. if you are working on a finished surface like harwood flooring, then a soft pad is appropriate.
Try them on beforee you buy. make sure the straps don't bind. I tried one pair, and it felt like I was kneeling on a balloon.

For that much base over concrete, forget knee pads!

I don't own one yet, but here are pics of one I borrowed from a tile guy I work with. Awesome.
