Pro Blu Mamba �

“With a good fit and feel around thehands and fingers, I found the BluMamba Heavy Duty Latex gloves to beparticularly useful when working onsmall/fine components. They provedvery strong when used in my routineservicing work and provided goodprotection against oils and chemicals,something I found especially usefulwhen changing engine oils.

“Although the gloves stand up wellagainst other competitors I’ve used, youneed to be careful when working onsharp or hot components as they can beprone to splitting when in contact withsuch items. That said, they make for adecent fit-for-purpose purchase fortechnicians that want to utilise a moredisposable type of glove.”

� Black Mamba Torque Grip

“With a different formulation in theirmanufacture, I found these gloves to bemuch better for general work andvalued the protection that they offeredmy hands and knuckles, especially whenworking with a hammer and chisel orfitting/removing suspension components.

“Although you sacrifice a bit ofsensitivity because of the gloves’ hard-wearing nature, I liked the fact that youcould get many hours of use out of thesewithout damaging them. I found them tobe comfortable (if a little stiff) and wouldcertainly consider investing in more.”
