Kunzer Tiger Grip XXL Gloves

Great gloves but quite expensive

These are easily the best gloves I've come across for oily mechanic work. I wouldn't just narrow them down for that line work however. Their thick wall puts them squarely above other disposable glove brands in terms of robustness. They stand up to the task in areas such as rip tear and piercing damage. Also notable is their increased grip over standard disposable gloves. These gloves can be relatively easily cleaned with paper roll during wear for tasks that simply can't avoid heavy soiling such as oil and filter changes. I realise most would simply bin disposable gloves after this sort of work, but I'm against needless waste and prefer to change them only when I need cleaner gloves. My only complaint would be that these are tight! Although the tightness helps dexterity, they certainly restrict the ease of putting on and taking off. Buy the medium only if you have tiny hands, go for large otherwise. Small should be reserved for children or action men figurines.

Yes good gloves pretty strong and up to the job don’t tear easily

I use the gloves for lots of jobs, gardening, cleaning the log burners, decorating etc. They are stronger than most disposable gloves I have bought in the past so for me they are worth paying a bit extra.

Having been less than satisfied with the numerous brands of nitrile work gloves I have used in recent years, I was looking for a garage 'n' garden task glove which would stand up to a complete day's rough work. I decided to try a box of the Kunzer Tiger Grip gloves after they were recommended to me by a local mechanic. Although their bright orange finish gets you a few odd looks from people, these gloves have out-performed all the other work gloves I have tried. Thin enough for use with delicate work on nuts. bolts and on engines in general, they are tough enough to cope with heavy gardening tasks as well. I was advised to buy a 'tight' size and although you end up with gloves wet with perspiration, this was good advice as they don't stretch and slip around like some other brands. Really pleased - will buy these again!

Very good gloves that last longer than most others. Only gripe is that they are way too expensive since covid 19 arrived on the scene.

Being a home mechanic on a few vehicles with skin allergies I get through a lot of protective gloves normally. I think that has changed now; these gloves are not only grippy, they are really tough. I reuse if not damaged and the first pair on have now done five separate jobs that have involved rough handling and are still good for the next job. I would have been through at least ten pairs of lesser nitrile gloves by now. Don't order big as there is nothing worse than baggy gloves.

These are significantly more durable than most nitrile gloves which is great when working on cars and bikes, however that durability does come at a cost, which in my opinion is the only downside.
