Work Gloves

[Rob Gaskin]

Guys, do you have any recommendations for gloves to use when working in the garage?

When rebuilding carbs or working on brakes I've tried the thin latex blue gloves but petrol/carb cleaner dissolves them. I suffer from cracked hands (especially in winter) and some of the stuff I come into contact with can't be any good for me and it stings!

So I can see I need two types of gloves:

Something to use with chemicals that are perhaps disposable.

Something stronger to use when working on cars/bikes but thin enough so that I can feel things e.g. small nut/bolts or electrical connectors.

Thanks.

Latex are rubbish - I'm enjoying these Glovezilla nitrile gloves ATM: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165137681900

I use these (Amazon) good for keeping your hands warm and the textured design helps for holding tools, screws etc

They look good.

Nitrile (not latex) ones are great for when you’re doing oil changes etc as you don’t want to be removing sump nuts and getting the other gloves sodden with oil. The Amazon ones above look pretty good, but the nitrile one do have their uses. I get the one that have a pattern on which improves the grip.

I found these to be a good compromise between nitrile gloves and actual gloves. Rubber coated so don't soak up oils etc but still tactile.

With my builders hand I don’t need gloves

Get some O'Keefe's working hands cream Rob, brilliant for cracked skin on the hands.

I use 2 types at work, blue nitrile and black nitrile ones.
The black ones are better for solvents and fluids, I use them for cleaning my spray guns as the blue ones fall to bits much quicker when they get thinners on them.

They use black nitrile gloves in the workshop in work but I have always been a fan of the Grease Junkies gloves for working in the garage at home as they have a nice long cuff:
