Hi guys, last weekend I bought a pair of "builder's gloves" from Aldi for £2.99. They are a knitted type material but the palms and fingers are rubber coated with a grippy surface. I tried them out today while checking over the front brakes on my Iveco Daily camper and I have to say I was impressed. They;re comfortable, hard wearing and give great grip while protecting your hands from rough and sharp surfaces/edges. I'm going to get a few more pairs and keep one pair in each of our vehicles in case of break down or tyre changing. I wouldn't use them for welding or anything that requires detail work like rebuilding a cylinder head but for rougher work which ususally rips latex or nitrile gloves I reckon they're the doggies wotsits.
