Hi all,
Can anyone recomend a pair of gloves to wear whilst doing the car?
With the winter upon us, sure we will all have to do some car work during this time.
Find it a pain when ya hands get painfully cold.
Problem with gloves though is usually their to thick to do the job, eg reaching bolts or holding certain car parts.
So they need to be thin, but warm, windproof as well as good to prevent damage to hands.
Any recommendations for places to get them.
Thanks!

when i done the head gasket on my brother corsa it was a freezing morning. so i just put some rubber gloves on and they helped alot. you can get mechanic gloves but last time i tried them they were too thick.

get some fingerless gloves, keeps the hands warm and you can still hold and grip things with your fingers

Re: Gloves - To work on Car
I have only ever wore gloves twice, once I wore rubber gloves and the ripped on my hands so I never actually wore any, the second I tried a pair of fingerless gloves, keeps your hands warm and because your moving your fingers all the time they dont actually feel that cold.
