I read a report that said carpet installers have one of the highest rates of knee problems in any trade.
I found it in a government health and safety study from last year. It said over 40% of installers report serious knee pain after ten years on the job. I've been doing this for fifteen years and my knees are shot, but I thought it was just me. The report said it's mostly from the constant kneeling and the impact of the kicker. It made me wonder what we're all doing to protect ourselves. What kind of knee pads do you guys actually trust for a full day's work?

Tried the gel filled ones from Home Depot first and they were garbage after two months. Switched to ProKnee with the hard cap and my knees actually don't ache at the end of a 10 hour shift anymore.

Man, that report is dead on. My uncle was a carpet guy for thirty years and he had to get both knees replaced.
