Wife works for Kimberly Clark. Need some evaluation on new product!


Kimberley Clark is coming out with new gloves for mechanics. I have a few pairs my size to test(#8's) which i need to write a review on.

I have two pairs in size #9. I will send them to you for free if you send me a PM with a review.

Please PM me and let me know if you are interested!

They look real good and feel awesome. My first response is that you really can't do detail work with them. Small screws and such. But let me know what you think. Nothing special but just an over all review of how they are when working on cars!!

What are the gloves made of? Are they plastic, rubber, cloth, or some synthetic material?

Are they one time use, or reusable? If they are reusable, how do you clean them?

How abrasion resistant are they? Are the resistant to heat and solvents like MEK and acetone?

Do they breathe so your hands don't get sweaty? Are they tight fitting like surgical gloves? If they are tight fitting, are they powdered inside so that you can get them on and off easily?

Whoa! I'll just send you a pair!

What size are you? PM me details. Size, address etc..

They are reusable . they callthem KleenGuard G50's. They seem to be material with some other wierd material. I can find out the answers, but I am a marketing/ad guy!

I dont know what size my hand is, but my middle finger is 5" long, I got bit friggin hands lol. I'd probably fit your 11.

edit: as far as mechanics go, I use to apprentice until I injured my back. So I dont get paid to work on cars anymore, however I frequently do repairs to my own/co-workers/family, etc.

I use the Purple Nitrile Powder Free Kimberly Clark Gloves when changing Oil or doing something else messy, they do a good job of keeping your hands clean. I like Mechanics Wear Gloves for other types of work on the Car.

I usualy wear rubber gloves for most work, but mechanix style is great for big work, or especially outside this time of year.
