Knee Pads


Knee Pads	Knee Pads with Shin Guards


Style A	Style B	Style C

Style D	Style E	Style F

Style G	Style H	Style J

Protect knees from bumps, soreness, and fatigue when working.

Shock Absorbing—Shock-absorbing pads are made of foam with a thick rubber cap for added protection when working high-stress jobs.

Easy Slide Knee Pads—Easy-slide pads reduce resistance when moving around on hard surfaces.

Antislip Knee Pads—Antislip pads have a rubber cap to provide good traction when working on wet and slippery surfaces.

Nonmarring—Nonmarring pads won’t leave marks or scuffs behind when kneeling on surfaces, such as hardwood and tile.

Gel Padding—Gel padding reduces fatigue when working long jobs.

Leather Cover—Leather knee pads have a tough exterior.

Nylon/Spandex Fabric Cover—Nylon/spandex fabric knee pads slip on and are slim enough to be worn under pants.

Tread Cap—Knee pads with tread give good grip and stability on uneven surfaces, like a lug sole on a boot.

Hinge—Knee pads with a hinge allow for good mobility when kneeling or walking. These knee pads have wide-set straps that are less likely to bunch behind the knees for better range of movement.

Shin Cushion—Knee pads with a shin cushion have padding that contours to the shape of your shin to distribute weight, making long periods of floor work more comfortable.

Shin Guard—Consider if you want to extend protection beyond your knees. Knee pads with a shin guard extend protection to your shins.

Upper Guard—Knee pads with an upper guard extend above and below the knee, providing more coverage and protection against impact from debris.

Buna-N Foam	Buna-N Foam with Carabiner	Vinyl Foam

Cushion your knees while working on the ground. These pads resist water and oil, so you can use them outdoors or on dirty shop floors.

1/2" Thick—_1/2" thick pads are twice as thick as a yoga mat. They’re a good choice for level ground.

1" Thick—1" thick pads keep you comfortable for long periods, even on rough surfaces.

Buna-N Foam—Buna-N pads are more comfortable to kneel on than Vinyl pads.

Vinyl Foam—Vinyl pads have a smoother surface than Buna-N pads, so they are easier to clean.

Welding Pads

Use these thick pads to cushion knees or brace elbows during long welding runs. They’re covered in a fiberglass fabric that holds up to sparks and spatter. For added protection, the top of the pad has a second layer of silicone-coated fiberglass that resists abrasion and tears. The foam filling is soft enough to kneel on but rigid enough to prop your arms when you’re welding in an awkward position. To carry these pads between jobs, fold them in half and secure with the hook and loop tabs at each end. You can also join pads end-to-end and create a larger work surface.

Static-Control Kneeling Pads

Cushion your knees while you work near sensitive electronics. At _7/8" thick, these pads keep you comfortable for long periods. These pads have a carbon black additive that diverts static to keep it from damaging your equipment. Made from Buna-N foam, they resist oil and water, so you can use them in dirty areas. The textured surface keeps you from sliding.

Kneeling Creepers


Style B Chest Support in Use	Style B Seat in Use


Style A	Style B

Get the comfort of knee pads with the mobility of a creeper. Thick, contoured foam cradles your knees, so you can work comfortably inches from the ground for long stretches. These creepers are useful for tasks ranging from installing conduit runs low on your walls to cleaning out debris under machines. Just push off with your toes to scoot and reposition yourself instead of having to crawl or get up and down off the ground. A built-in tray keeps tools within reach.

Style A—Style A are also known as knee dollies.

Style B—Style B have a cushioned chest support for extra comfort and stability. Lean forward on the chest support to free up both hands for your task. You can also sit up straight to use these creepers as rolling stools.

Flame- and Arc-Flash-Protection Knee Pads

These knee pads meet NFPA 70E standards for protection against electrical arc flashes for personal protection equipment (PPE) Category 2. Check the PPE category and minimum arc rating provided for your workplace, and then select all required clothing and personal protective equipment to meet the minimum arc rating. Arc rating measures a garment’s ability to insulate the wearer from burns; the higher the arc rating, the greater the flame resistance. These pads have a hard plastic cap that reduces resistance, making it easy to slide on hard surfaces. They have two adjustable buckles to modify the fit.

Creeper Pads

Work comfortably under extra-low-clearance equipment. These pads don’t have casters like standard creepers, so they have a lower profile and fit into tighter spaces. Instead of holding a flashlight to see, turn on a strip of LEDs by your head to keep both hands free. A thick layer of foam cushions your body, even on rough ground. Fold these pads to a third of their size for compact storage.
