Its amazing what people can deduce from a forum name....

Craig, go for Snickers.....Keith thinks they are great... the knee pads that you get with em are tops too... There's a place in Batley near Tesco that's really cheap for stuff like that.

i find buying 3 pairs of general worktrousers from your average trade place at Ł15 per pair will outlast a single pair of snickers trousers at over Ł50. same with the work s/toe trainers. a Ł15 pair lasts just as long as a Ł50 pair.

Bosch trousers for me....................

Snickers rep told me on the queit that the bosch ones are better......more hardwearing and cheaper.

Bosch trousers with snickers knee pads as they mould to your knees better

been using jobman workpants for a few years now usual load of pockets

etc,and i found them very comfy and hard wearing.

i echo the comment on boots (use scruffs-pretty comfy),but i need the

support as i damaged my ankle years ago and shoes wont cut it.

you sound like my mate. when we go in for workwear he's posing in front of the mirror checking out what the new stuff looks like. i just pick up what i want and pay and go. its for work on a building site not a fooking fashion show

i got fed up of boots falling apart with a few months no matter how much they were to buy. i bought a pair of plain black dickies prison issue boots for Ł14 and theyre out lasting everything so far. they were a bit hard to break in at first but theyre still going strong and show no signs of falling apart yet.
