- UPDATE: 1-year review on these knee pads HERE: • Toughbuilt Knee Pads R...
NEW I've just opened a merch shop! If there's anything you'd like to see there in addition to the currently limited lineup, drop a comment on my latest video and let me know! shop.spreadshirt.com/cynicalm... Are these the best kneepads money can buy?!
Hi there fellow contractors, this video is for you. I bought a new set of gel kneepads from Toughbuilt. They offer thigh support, they stay PUT, provide superior protection, and are surprisingly affordable. Basically, this video is a simple unboxing and reveal/try-on so you can see how they work and what they look like. I will take these kneepads through the ringer and see how well they hold up over time, and I'll be sure to keep you updated.
The kneepads seen in the video: amzn.to/3p2XUzV

I'm also in flooring, and the toughbuild knee pads are great. I got the smaller version and had the same ones for the past 2yrs and still going strong. will be gettting some new ones soon, and will be looking at getting these ones as a replacement.
Thank you so much for this review! I was leery on buying these, I thought they were a bit gimmick-ish, but as someone who has crashed their motorcycle, and injured their knee, these are going to make quality of life MUCH better for me. (I'm a Trim Carpenter, we're down on our knees more than the $2 Hooker LOL)
I wish you lived closer. I need a new floor in the kitchen. ❤️
I agree I got some last month and they are built tough and feel very soft on my knees, they don't cut the blood off as well
I work in maintenance in a manufacturing plant and we have alot of metal grating surfaces. I haven't used them yet but after adjusting them to my preferences they felt good and actually gave me great support
.I'm 59 almost 60 and my knees ain't what they used to be but these knee pads really do help
👍👍👍👍
The only thing I would say is be careful with them on elevated platforms or small obstacles. Just yesterday I put my knee on my toolbox to reach in and grab something in the van and my knee rolled right over and off of it. It hurt a tad.
I finally got to try these at work and I'll say this..they work great..I don't have to worry that they wobble side to side and they actually help my knees by stabilizing them and actually supporting them 👍👍👍
Best knee pads for hardwood flooring work. Ive been in the biz for over 16yrs. Ive worn through many knee pads. I wear these out in 1 year and buy a new pair every year. Which is great! I also bought their soft rubber front knee pads for stain / delicate surface work. 100% buy them over n over again.
I am late to the party if anyone is still watching this video I am a retired carpet, linoleum, and hardwood installer. Over the years I tried a lot of different knee pads some were okay, and most were terrible. The best pads I have ever used were having a shoe repair shop sew thick leather on the knees of my work pants. I found that leather was all the pad my knees needed. If you find you need a little cushion is leave the top of the leather open and insert some skin-diver foam. The biggest problem with kneepads is the straps cutting off air circulation which can be a whole new problem in itself.
Truly appreciat the review. I have used the Atlas blue with white plastic for the last 25 years, which I can no longer wear due to the straps killing me on the back. I have been looking into these and by you doing this, have helped solidify my choice to go we these. Thank you.
I do scaffolding and these are great.
Hi, please could you let me know the out come of the kneepads, more importantly, is the gel lining soft enough to continually cushion 'already damaged knees'
Have you though about trying Toughbuilt GelFit Black Stabilizer Knee Pads? They seem like they’re offer more stabilization which cost you much less energy throughout the day from having to keep balance on your knee pads. That also allow different types of shells to be used in them.
As a tiler these were pretty good for 3 or 4 months, but after wearing them every working day the rivets started to pop and they started to fall apart. If you're on your knees most of the day, better to wear Wohlpro's (the most comfortable) or Fento's, especially Fento Max kneepads that disperse your weight throughout your lower leg not just your knees.
Facts best knee pads ever thanks
Hola como estas saludos, como se siente en los muslos ? Son confortables?
Estas muy conforme con el producto?
There’s an add-on stabilizer you can buy to stay flat if you want.
Seven string LTD - awesome👍
For a "cheap" guitar, this thing has an amazing sound when hooked up. Sounds as good as anything I've personally ever plugged in.
@@cynicalmikey8769 could you believe that the guitar on this video costs $80?😉

Ive been doing construction from a young age and up until the last year I wasn't using kneepads. Now my knees are pretty messed up
Bought them and fall down just like every other pair I gaff bf e bought!!
That shell top is better for outside like concrete.
Hi Sir! Have you tried any of their new product line aviation snips
, knives, scissors, seamer ? If yes, do you have opinion about them? Thanks for you answer! Cool video!
Not yet Bence. I'll be sure to do some reviews in the future if/when I buy some more of their products. I'm pretty impressed with the knee pads so far. They needed broken in, but after about 20+hours of use, they were (and are) comfortable as hell.
@@cynicalmikey8769 Thank you for your answer 😊.
I can't believe you are wearing sandals. You are a real pro
We call em "mandals" around the house lol
Thats my question is can you do flooring all day in those and move the next day?
So far, absolutely! I have one specific pair of denim jeans, really stiff and thick material, that I can't wear these kneepads with because it rubs the back of my legs raw. But that's it. These kneepads have been awesome so far!
I'll have to try them. I've used Knee Pro ultra flex , robo knee pads i call them , from Sellstrom for 20 plus years as an Irrigation Specialist.
I'd hate to think what my knees would be like without knee pads.
It's 90 dgeees and i wear shorts almost all year. How do these toughbuilts do against your skin?
Thanks for the great video
I just orderd the rubi knee pads, how ar they ?
Did you ever try them with short pants? I like to work with short pants a lot and used some knee pads but they al suck after a hour or two
I have and they are fantastic. I am 67 with severe knee issues so any work at requiring me to kneel was a big no no. I used to hate how the old knee pads and I am on about a lot due to my age would not stay where they should, kept falling down when you got up to move to another place. Most often they were around my ankles. But these beauties stay where you put them, very comfortable and I feel no discomfort in my knees whilst working or afterwards. Regarding the round knees, I had no issue with that whatsoever. Best kneepads I have ever purchased and I seriously do not think I will ever need a new pair. You will not be disappointed.
Tempted to get these for dirt bike riding. Anybody do that?
Just browsing here after taking on my first floor job and having a huge lump on my knee and barely able to bend it knowing I have to start day three in a few hours
What did you do to your knee?!
@@cynicalmikey8769 cheap knee pads sliding down and me kneeing on the button fasteners
I was looking for your stock to buy video. Did you take it down?
Yes, that stock was a Nov 2020 play. The video became irrelevant after that.
I wonder how they work while walking. I’m a sports photographer. I work on my knees but offend change my position on the field.
Oh they're just fine for walking around. I would take them off before driving though, like if you had to move your vehicle around the job site.
Update on them
a lot of the amazon reivews say these are way too big, they won't fit unless you have really thick legs, is that true? What's your height/weight?
Look at my reply above to @rolfnusteling4221, I am quite big and broad and my legs are very strong but terribly skinny LOL. They fit just fine even when wearing shorts. I am 6' and 16 stones.
Knee pads are like insoles, 99 percent of them are trash.
...........Gotta get a pair for the wifey
Thank you so much for the video but the round part breaks the deal.
The husky ones move a ton and I feel pain from them
No tallan el piso ?
They can definitely scratch the floor if you have any dings in the plastic, yes. When I'm installing floor, I work from the bare subfloor side, not on top of what I'm installing. So it was never really an issue. I'd just be careful when I had to put my knees on the new flooring.
Just bought these pads and I found them very uncomfortable. They did exactly what I was told they wouldn't do, dig straight into the back of my leg. I'm sending them back.
Mind me asking your height that’s definitely a factor
I'm 1.80 and I have the same problem
What’s the brand name?
Thoughbuilt
Toughbuilt
Pro knee
Reviewed without using them. Not such a reliable way to judge. Thanks anyway.
Why do they make my knees smell nasty
Are you saying that give off some kind of chemical smell? Just curious what you're getting at.
@@Nerotique the 2nd day using them I was working in a hot environment and my legs were sweating alot and felt alot of heat on my knees then after i took them off they smelled bad it was like a mixture of sweat and plastic
@@nefsterdexter4205 That's what happens when using knee pads. Just gotta wash them once in awhile
Bro why’d you pound the laminate floor like that 😆
That's hardwood flooring, and it's in terrible shape already. It'll get covered up eventually. Only been saying that for 8 years lol
Sorry to tell all you people who think these knee pads are the best thing since sliced bread. Especially if you’re a flooring contractor like myself. For the last 25 years I wear nothing else but the knee pads made by Pro Knee. They are $275 for a pair and it takes all the pressure off your knees and transfers it to your shins. You can work in them for 12 hours and your knees will not ever be sore. If you are a flooring contractor these are a must. A $60 pair of knee pads will not compare to the Pro knee pads trust me no knee pads will. If you do any type of flooring for a living except for carpet. Because you cannot kick carpet in them they are simply the best. These cheap ass knee pads he is reviewing are good for a DIY person not for a true flooring contractor. These knee pads will not stop you from getting a sore back or knees like he stated. But I guarantee you the Pro Knee pads will not give you sore knees. You’re back is different story because you’re hunched over all day. So if you do flooring for a living a $275 investment is nothing when it’s for your longevity of installing. Not to mention when they wear out in a year or 2 you can send away for a kit to rebuild them yourself such as the straps the inside padding which is 1 inch thick or 5/8 if you want the thinner one the straps are replaceable. A full rebuild kit cost about $150.00. But that’s nothing when you see how great these pads are.
California sandels😂
Lmaoo don't say this and you only shop at home Depot
They suck waste of money. Constantly slide down your leg
I agree, I had the first generation of theses and they stayed in place. I bought the new version and they slide down all the bloody time and it’s annoying as they cost the best part of £60.
You guys need to create a meme of Joe Biden wearing these knee pads while he is climbing the stairs of Air Force One!!
