  • On Topic: knee pads?

    From T@T@invalid.invalid to alt.home.repair on Fri Jun 5 14:12:59 2026

    Hi All,

    I have to get down on my hands and knees on my decorative
    rocks to hand pull out the accursed cheat grass.

    My current knee pad give me blisters on my legs just
    below my knees. Yesterday's hour of pulling weeds
    gave me a blister on each knee, which popped
    while I was picking. No fun.

    You guys have an suggestion of decent knee pads for
    extended use over rocks?

    Many thanks,
    -T

    Switch from kneeling to sitting every so often and the "handles"
    are helpful in getting up from extended kneeling.

    I donrCOt do this kind of work on my knees.
    I either squat, or sit down and do it sideways
