Vehicle repair and maintenance involve constant exposure of the hands to aggressive substances. Oils, fuel and technical fluids can damage the skin, while working with sharp metal and glass edges can cause cuts. To prevent this, it is necessary to use gloves that protect, preserve fingertip tactile sensitivity for delicate operations, and provide a secure grip on tools and parts.
Repairing and servicing vehicles involves constant hand contact with an aggressive environment. Oils, fuel and technical fluids can damage the skin, and working with sharp metal edges and glass can lead to cuts. To prevent this, it is necessary to use gloves that protect, preserve the fingers' tactile sensitivity for fine operations, and provide a confident grip on tools and parts.
Key criteria for choosing gloves for vehicle repair and maintenance are the coating material, knit density and construction:
- Foam nitrile coating is resistant to oils and provides grip on smooth and wet surfaces.
- Knit density (gauge) affects sensitivity and dexterity.
- Reinforced base fibers increase cut protection, while special linings retain warmth.
Gloves should be selected according to the type of work performed.
For precision and assembly work:
- ПАЛМА ЭСЕНС ПРО 11-02 — thin yet durable gloves thanks to an 18-gauge knit. Nylon and spandex in the composition provide softness and elasticity. The gloves feature a foam nitrile coating for excellent grip on lightly oiled surfaces. Thanks to a special nitrile formula, the coating "remembers" the shape of the hand, creating a second-skin feel and ensuring precision of movement even when working with very small bolts and screws. Maximum abrasion resistance ensures durability and a long service life. The gloves can be used when removing discs from a straightening machine — they allow brief contact (15 seconds) with surfaces heated up to 100°С. The model is suitable for use with touchscreens (touchscreen compatibility on all fingers).
- ПАЛМА ЭСЕНС ПЛЮС 11-03 — nylon gloves with a 15-gauge knit. Slightly denser than ЭСЕНС ПРО 11-02 and featuring a different foam nitrile coating application technology. Nitrile reinforcement between the thumb and index finger provides a reliable grip and secure hold of tools and parts of various shapes and sizes due to improved material traction. Flexible, they maintain dexterity. Suitable for more intensive work thanks to even greater durability.
For work in dry conditions:
- ПАЛМА ЭСЕНС ПЛЮС 11-09. Thanks to bamboo in the base material, the glove is soft, breathable and absorbs moisture well. The palm and finger coating with a "crinkle" texture is excellent for handling tires — it does not slip, which increases work efficiency.
For work with heavy contamination from oils and fluids:
- ПАЛМА ЭСЕНС ПРО 11-06 — nylon gloves with a 3/4 nitrile coating. Because of this, the skin "breathes" better than in fully coated gloves. This model is suitable for working with dirtier and oil-contaminated parts. A special nitrile application technology with vertical grooves to channel moisture and oil provides a reliable, non-slip grip, which is convenient for repairing inner tubes and tubed wheels. The gloves protect hands from dirt and technical fluids, and from fuels and lubricants. They can be used with a smartphone (touchscreen compatibility on all fingers).
For tasks with an increased risk of cuts:
- ПАЛМА АРМА ПЛЮС 12-06 — two-layer gloves for tire service work where there is a risk of cuts or punctures. Outside — cut-resistant fibers with a high level of protection; inside — spandex and nylon for convenience and comfort during work. A dense nitrile coating is ideal for contact with oily surfaces and prevents slipping. The gloves provide a reliable grip and protection from direct contact with sharp and prickly surfaces of wheel rims and tools. They are breathable and absorb moisture well.
For work in low-temperature conditions — insulated solutions:
- Gloves ПАЛАВАН ВИНТЕР with an acrylic lining and latex coating are suitable for outdoor work or in unheated spaces. СНЕГИРЬ-К with a wool lining and a 3/4 latex coating provide a reliable grip on tools in the cold.
The choice of gloves determines safety and the outcome of the work. Electrical installation operations require maximum tactility; replacing parts in the engine bay requires resistance to oils and heat; bodywork requires cut protection; tire fitting in the shoulder season requires insulated gloves.
These glove models cover a wide range of tasks: from "precision" assembly to heavy disassembly work and operation in low temperatures.
