Tommyco Kneepads EL777 Gel Eliminator Knee Pads with Adjustable Sliding Strap,Black

25 year Electrician. These are my 5th set of Tommy Co knee pads, and first time buying the 777's. I've owned all types of the 707's(short versions). My only complaint with the 707's is that they rolled off your knee occasionally, but were the most comfortable knee pad that I found, or compared with on many job sites. All sets lasted several years, or I lost them. The 777's are awesome! They don't roll off your knee with its 2 below the knee straps, they guard your shin on ladders (sore spots on my shin from leaning on the upper rung where you are standing), and they don't slide down ( if you know how to adjust your pant legs). The gel is soft, but firm as always making them IMO the best on the market.I use them bending conduit on the ground, and installing in the air. They feel amazing, and comfortable.People really noticed them since they are covering my shin. People made comments, but after I let them try them they ordered themselves a pair. With this kind of comfort, I don't care what people say.

Having tried going the cheap route I opted to try going a bit more expensive. Believe me I do what I can to save money whenever and wherever I can. I am a treasure hunter on Saturdays and as with most that are getting a bit more mature having seen a few more New Years parties than I care to admit; need a bit of padding for my knees. Getting down is lots of fun unless you end up having a sharp rock or stick jab you in the knee cap. One of the nicest things about the Tommyco ATC707 is the soft padding that it provides. I still have issues with the pads sliding down my leg but it still does not do so as much as some of the other models that I have tried. These pads do not seem to slide around my knee as much as the cheaper ones do. The velcro straps seem to hold nicer and more secure than the cheap models. I have tried to snug these down a bit more than I have on some of the other brands but as a plus these do not seem to bind behind the knees. I hope that you will give these a try and see what I mean, comfort without pain.Dave

Ran some gas lines in my sister's attic. She has an older house with a low pitched roof, which means you can't stand-up in the attic. Most of the time is spent crawling around. These pads were a life saver. It didn't matter if I put my knee on a 2x4 or a pipe or whatever, the gel pad kept my knee and shins comfortable. It extended the amount of time I could spend in the attic because my knees and legs were happy.The hard plastic front of the pad has a flat area (where the label is applied), as well as some extensions at the bottom with flat tops. This makes GREAT support when on a floor or other large flat area. However, in an attic there is very little flat area, but lots of 2x4s. You have to be sure to hit the 2x4 "square" to contact the flat part fo the pad. If it rests at an angle, the pad will want to twist. However, once you are properly on the 2x4, you can stay there comfortably for a long time.The one thing that bugs me about knee pads is they tend to start traveling down my legs and end up around my ankles. The bottom of these pads rest on the top of my boots, which keeps them up longer than shorter pads. They still to creep down a bit, but not as much. Only design change I would suggest is to have the upper pad extend above the knee, with a strap secured above the knee to keep the pad from sliding down. If they didn't creep down I would have given this product 5 stars.These are the best knee pads I have ever owned. I always bring these pads with me to a jobsite. They have a permanent place in my truck. Yours will too.

There are lots of knee pads for lots of reasons, but this is the best "general purpose" knee pad on the market! These are durable, and yet have the softer knee comfort for kneeling in rocky soil as I dig for buried treasure. This is not for the super heavy industrial work knee pad, but they are made for the average user without too much loss of comfort yet combined with durablity. I highly recommend them for the general purpose user and that includes weekend prospecting, etc. The best knee pad for the money!

There is a lot of reviews on this. I’ve bought the smaller versions. This was the first time I bought the large one works great for what you need to do but the main problem I have is with the Velcro very cheap after using for about a week. I noticed I was missing some of the hooks on the actual Velcro by the end of the month they were useless the Velcro elastic portion had stretched up too much, and a lot of the Velcro itself was missing so it would not grasp onto the felt portion.-moving forward I would never buy anything from the manufacturer with Velcro on it. It’s better to have the other style and if the elastic adjuster does wear out, you can always tie a knot on it to make it shorter.

I'm in construction and use knee pads everyday all day long. While the actual knee pads are great and the gel is comfortable,the straps don't stay tight. All day long I'm constantly adjusting them and re-tightening the straps sometimes 3-4 times an hour. When they're tight they fit great and the straps don't bind up behind your knees but unfortunately it's a constant battle keeping them tight. If it weren't for the straps constantly loosening up, these would be perfect.These might be good for the person who occasionally wears them for weekend projects around the house but if you're going to wear them for any length of time I wouldn't recommend them.

As a Master Electrician I spend a great deal of my time in places most people don't think of as places.. These knee pads are a real lifesaver.. Not the best for the on your belly in the crawlspace, but totally awesome in the attic for doing the rafter boogie.. The pad's design keeps pressure off my kneecaps and they save my shins.. They stay up while walking and are as comfortable to wear as any I've ever tried..If you work on your knees these are well worth the price.. You'll thank yourself the first time you use them..
