Default Wrist and knee wraps

When did you start using them? I don't have much money to put into my training, which is why I haven't messed with any extras like wraps or belts, but now that my bench has surpassed 300lb, I've noticed that my wrists start to hurt quite a bit, especially if I don't get my grip just right. I haven't had any knee pain, probably because my squat only surpasses my my bench by 50lb and I also do lots of different types of training (keeps your joints healthier), but I want to keep it that way, and if I can squeeze a little more iron onto the bar by wrapping my knees then I wouldn't comlain about that either.

Thoughts?

If your wrists hurt, wrap them. If your knees are ok at the moment, save your money. Simples

I got a set of knee wraps before I hit my slacking point a while back. I never got a chance to get the hang of them. Lifted as much with as without. I imagine their benefit increase as the iron on the bar increases.

Personal tips that I've learned along my still short journey:

Leave your ego at the door.
Prepare. Showing up dehydrated, hungry, and tired will guarantee failure.
Be ready to fight for that grinder of a PR.
Listen and learn. Absorb everything you can, and assimilate that knowledge.

Top Gym lifts:
Squat: 415lbs
Deads: 440lbs
Bench: 315lbs
