We are absolutely sold on these gloves. To most of us, gloves only tend to interfere with the job at hand, making it more dangerous than wearing no gloves at all. And, though skeptical about the dexterity the Mechanix Gloves offer, we gave them an honest "trial-by-fire" test during Stubby's power-steering install.

Since the first time we wore them, we have not worked on our Jeeps without a pair of Mechanix Gloves. They are that good, and have found a permanent place in our toolboxes, and our Jeeps.


Instead of lessening the feel of a tool in your hand they can actually enhance it, and tremendously improve your grip at the same time.

Mechanix Gloves are covered by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.




Original

Fast Fit

0.5 M-Pact

We tested three different types of Mechanix Gloves:

  • Original - "The Tool That Fits Like A Glove"
    Like the Fast Fit, the Original has a Clarino® synthetic leather palm and padded spandex top. We recommend this one over the Fast Fit simply because of the Velcro wrist closure, which allows for a better fit.

  • FastFit - Slip-On Style
    The most affordable of the gloves we tested, the Fast Fit model uses an elastic band for sizing around your wrist.

  • 0.5 M-Pact - Super-Sensitive With Gel Padding
    Our favorite Mechanix glove by a landslide. Using double layer silicon gel padding on the palm, the 0.5 M-Pact is designed for reducing vibration caused by power tools while increasing dexterity for use with small objects and hand tools with their "Super Sensitive Feel". The 0.5 M-Pact is thoroughly reinforced front and back.
