First Look at Grease Monkey Gloves for Mechanics

Grease Monkey Gloves for Mechanics

As with most mechanics, a Trailer Technician’s hands are often subjected to harsh conditions. From extreme weather and sharp objects, to grease and air tools that occasionally bite back, your hands need to be protected! Work gloves need to be considered a staple to a Trailer Technician’s tool list, just like eye and ear protection.

Unfortunately, items such as gloves aren’t always a priority for mechanics when the tool trucks show up. That’s why we are happy to set up eight Trailer Technicians with some Grease Monkey Gloves for testing.

Passing Out The Gloves

When you walk into a trailer shop with a box of new test products, the Technicians magically sense it! I made it approximately 10 steps into the shop before I was spotted. Within seconds each Tech was trying to claim their favorite pair of gloves. But, rules are rules… In the interest of fairness, we always draw numbers for those type of decisions.

So, the gloves have now been passed out and are being used by our Trailer Technicians. Stay tuned… We will be sharing any feedback we receive from the Technicians.

Don’t want to wait for our Technician’s feedback before giving Grease Monkey Gloves a try? I totally get it! Fortunately they are easy to find at retailers such as Home Depot and Walmart. You can also find them (and everything else) on Amazon.
