Tools and Hardware Reviews of McGuire Nicholas 343X Hard Shell Kneepads
Customer Review: Your Knees Will Love You
Summary: 4 Stars
My knees are not what they used to be (upper 50s), so any kneeling I had to do (various types of home repair and auto repair) could involve pain. I have a pair of heavy duty knee pads I got at Sears that serve me well for extended use projects, but I also wanted a "spare" set for general use and quick tasks. I wanted protection that was inexpensive, but sturdy enough to take some mild abuse.
I believe I found that product with the Nicholas 343X Hard Shell kneepads. They are comfortable, and cushion my knees very nicely. The only problem I noticed was that the kneepads will slowly slip down with extended use and while walking, thus the 4 star rating. This is not a big deal with me, and in my experience all kneepads slip to some extent.
I keep them in my car so they are with me most of the time, and they are cheap enough that it is not a big concern if I have to replace them. I may even get another set to keep in the house so I can always have the other set in the car. I'll reserve my heavy duty kneepads for the long job where abuse is common.
Customer Review: they work ok for short periods
Summary: 3 Stars
i don't mind using these for short periods, but for more than say an hour they become uncomfortable. the problem is that they slip down under your knees unless you have them tight enough that you lose circulation in your legs... this has been my experience with all brands of kneepads i've used though, so i'm neither surprised nor too bothered about it.
the hard plastic surface can be a bit slippy if you're doing tile work, for example, but it's a boon if you're outside working in a gravel bed, for example.
Customer Review: works great
Summary: 5 Stars
product works great as a knee pad, nothing fancy just gets the job done.
