I use lifting straps for deads because I can't hold the weight for all the reps, but thats all I use. I stay away from gear because its primarily there to compensate for weaker muscles. (If I was deadlifting 600lbs then it would be a diff story...). I've had knee problems before too and I don't have any problems in the squat rack. I only do A2G, I find it's easier on the joints. I used to wear gloves to help improve my grip strength (wearing gloves means you're gripping a bigger circumference and actually helps to improve your natural grip strength) and to make it easier on my palms but now my hands are like leather and I can crush a boulder by squeezing it!
