About the Easy Swivel Knee Pads
- Hard shell cap The rigid cap takes the wear from hard and rough surfaces.
- Easy swivel The cap lets you pivot on your knee as you reach around the work.
- Printed shell The shell carries a printed finish in black.
- Sold as a pair You get one pad for each knee, ready to strap on.
Some jobs keep you turning on your knees: finishing a slab, setting tile, working around a fixture. A hard shell cap lets you pivot without the pad catching on the surface. The shell takes the scraping and scuffing so your pants and knees do not. You shift, reach and turn back to the work.
Each pad has a hard shell cap with a printed finish in black. The shell is the working face, and it is made to slide and turn on the floor. The pads come as a pair. Strap them on over your work pants, and set them snug enough to stay centered on your knees as you move.
Pick another model if
A hard cap slides easily, but it gives less cushion than gel. On long days you may feel the floor more than with the Gel Lite Flooring Pro pads. Hard caps can also mark finished wood, so pick the non-marring Monster Knee Pads for hardwood and vinyl.
Use and care
- Check the shell for cracks after heavy use and replace a split cap.
- Wipe grit off the cap so it slides smoothly and does not scratch.
- Store the pads away from heat so the shell keeps its shape.

What buyers say about the Easy Swivel Knee Pads
4.1 out of 5 on 44 ratings. Reviews word for word, including the critical ones.
Great protection with straps that don't stretch out.
I already own a pair of these from Sears. They protect my knees and can take a pounding even with my 265 lbs. These pads tend to sag a little while in use but they're still serviceable. I really like that the straps don't get stretched out like the cheaper brands.
These are great knee pads if you're working on concrete
These are great knee pads if you're working on concrete. They're don't have a ton of cushion but they last a really long time. Most of the soft ones wear out quickly when working on concrete
This product failed in less than three weeks
These knee pads are comfortable, however after less than three weeks of use the stitching is undone and the hard cover; the part that provides protection for the knee, came undone. I do not recommend this product.
Good value
I like the way they feel behind the knees. The pads don't last very long. They flatten out & crack but they are my favorite so I buy multiple pairs at a time
Good comfort for part time use.
These are not meant for daily work. They crack fast but are comfortable.
The best
Hands down best knee pads ever! I'm a concrete guy. I wear them for 8+ hours and have zero discomfort.
Easy Swivel Knee Pads: questions
What does Easy Swivel mean?
The hard shell cap lets you pivot on your knee as you work, so you turn in place instead of lifting and resetting each time.
Are these good on finished floors?
A hard shell can mark finished wood or vinyl. For those floors, the Monster Knee Pads with a non-marring TPR face are the safer choice.
