Warning: that $300 knee pad upgrade I bought last month was a total waste

The fancy gel ones gave out after two weeks on a commercial job, and now my knees are killing me. Anyone have a brand that actually lasts more than a month on concrete subfloors?

I used to buy cheap pads too, but ProKnees changed my mind completely.

Yeah, I have to disagree with anthony989 on this one. In my experience, the super expensive pads are often overkill for most jobs and the money is better spent elsewhere. I've had way better luck with mid-range pads from brands like ToughBuilt, they seem to hit that sweet spot for durability without the crazy price tag. Gel can fail fast, but a good solid foam core has held up for me on concrete for months.
