A knee protector (10) has a cushioned pad (12), straps (16,18) or the like for attaching the pad to the user's knee so that the pad covers the user's knee, and a shell (14) attached to and covering the pad so that an outer surface of the shell engages the ground when the user is kneeling. The outer surface of the shell has a channel (30) formed in it. The user can therefore use the channel as a former for bending a pipe across their knee, with the knee protector protecting their knee from injury, and the channel reducing the risk that the pipe will slip when bending. When not being used for bending a pipe, the knee protector functions in the conventional manner to protect the user's knee when kneeling. |
