The KneeBlades are designed to protect the knees to help streamline home renovation projects. For example, working on floor tile replacements or any home renovation or maintenance project that requires the worker to prop themselves on their knees can often be painful and damaging to sensitive knees. This invention ensures the user's knees are protected while creating easy mobility.
Shaped like kneecap-sized turtle shells, the KneeBlades feature attached wheeled dollies to allow the user to move freely without sustaining injuries to the knees. Designed by Milescraft, the user can remove the attached wheels to use the product as regular knee pads when the job requires a stationary position. Therefore, the KneeBlades' modular design allows for a wide range of usage.
