what gloves do you wear for maintenance/oil changes

[Matthew Storrs]

As title, don't like getting oils and other carcinogens on my hands, but on the other hand clumbersome gloves are no good for maintenance, tried latex but they last seconds before they split open, thinking polythene gloves?

Vinyl are about the best, they don't disintegrate like the others!

[Matthew Storrs]

Great, I'll give them a go!

Nitrile food prep gloves from the local cash and carry work best for me. Very strong, even better than vinyl.

If you go into Bookers/Macro they're only £2.80 a pack.

 

While you're in Bookers, buy the six rolls of blue paper towel for £9. Another workshop essential. When changing to a fresh pair of gloves, dry your hands with a bit of the towel and then talc your hands to ensure the new gloves go on perfectly.

I have a couple of pairs of these in the van for the "I should be wearing gloves for this" moments.

 

 

Just ask HID to pick you up a pair when she is shopping.
