Wrist Brace

We speak from experience. Removing tiles by hand involves repeated pounding of a hammer against a chisel, and it’s really hard on your wrist, to the point where it can cause painful injury.

If you have a big job in front of you, give your hammer-swinging wrist a break with a protective brace, like his one from BraceUp ($13 on Amazon). It’s a preventative measure you’ll be glad you took.

Knee Pads

We’re all about safety and preserving our backs, wrists and knees to DIY another day!

If a tile removal job requires crawling around a lot, protect your knees with durable pads, like these Rexbeti construction gel knee pads ($27 on Amazon). We like that they’re adjustable without bulk behind the knee, which makes crouching a lot easier.
