Work Gear & Supplies

We’ve received a ton of questions in emails about What tool belt do you use? or How do you like that double-sided tape? or What painter’s tape do you use? What kind of knee pads do you use? Which one do you recommend?

And we have up till now done a pretty lousy job of answering those questions (by personal) and hiding that information out there. And we have launched a new reviews section about work gear, workwear, and supplies. It’s called “Work Gear & Supplies Reviews“.

In this list, you don’t see anything on there that I haven’t gotten real utility out of consideration to be a good value and within the limits of our experience and our opportunities to test. It’s going to be a treasure trove really of gift ideas. Everything on there is something that I either desperately wished for as a gift or have been pleased to give as a gift.

The Best Knee Pads for Flooring, Construction & Tile Work

Sometimes I spend a lot of time crawling around on my hands and knees and the biggest challenge the biggest struggle with having a job that requires you to crawl around and be on your knees so much is finding the right pair of knee pads. I mean finding a pair that legitimately keeps you safe and is also comfortable to wear. If you are going to work as a flooring contractor, you will need something to make the job a bit more comfortable. Working in the flooring industry involves kneeling all day long.

Working all day long in cold weather outdoors is not an easy task. No one can change the work requirements, of course. But at least you can make sure that you have your feet in warm and comfortable conditions all day long. Having wet, sweaty feet for the entire day is not only uncomfortable but also bad for health. It can lead to several anti-microbial infections.
