Which Gloves Are Best for Plumbers? Get a Grip on Safety and Comfort!
Hey plumbers! Ever wonder why those thin doctor's gloves just don't cut it when you're wrestling with pipes and grime? You're not alone! Most gloves out there are made for hospitals, not for folks who get their hands dirty turning wrenches. You need gloves that are tough, reliable, and give you a great grip because not all gloves are created equal.
So, where do you find gloves actually made for your job?
UniSafe. Gloves Built for the Job.
Think about it: a doctor needs to feel for a pulse, but a plumber needs to tighten a fitting without their glove tearing. The needs are completely different.
UniSafe was founded back in 1999 by Lawrence Drucker with one specific goal: to make top-quality gloves for blue-collar workers at the right price. They weren't focused on the medical market. They were focused on people who turn wrenches, handle tools, and get their hands dirty every single day. UniSafe gloves are designed from the ground up to handle the toughness of your work. 💪
UniSafe's Top Glove Picks for Plumbers
Let's check out some top picks from UniSafe that will keep your hands protected and comfy all day long. Remember, this is the tool you wear all day, every day.
If you like latex, these are awesome! They're super strong at 8 mil thick and double-chlorinated. This process makes them slide on easily, protects your hands better, and actually tightens the bonds between the latex molecules for more strength. Plus, they're 100% pure latex – no cheap fillers. Other brands often skip the double chlorination process to save money, but UniSafe ensures top quality. They meet all ASTM standards for latex gloves and have a superior AQL of 1.5 (a quality rating that measures for defects) for consistency.
What users are saying:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Hands down the most durable work gloves I have used. They're not only in my shop, but in my truck as well.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Excellent gloves, strong and durable but flexible enough that feeling is not compromised.”
Prefer nitrile? The TopGrip HD is a fantastic choice. These are 7.5 mil thick and have textured fingertips for extra grip. They're also black on the outside and gray on the inside, so you can easily spot if they get a tear. They are made from premium Japanese nitrile for unparalleled quality at this thickness, meet ASTM standards for nitrile gloves, and have a superior AQL of 1.5.
What users are saying:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Simply the best gloves I have ever found. Easy to get on, easy to take off. Strong, durable, and get the job done, period.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “These gloves are great for hard, dirty work. They are durable because they are thicker than most gloves. Definitely worth the price.”
Ready to tackle anything? Meet Glovezilla! These beasts are 8.5 mil thick and have a special diamond texture all over. This texture creates 60% more surface area for a monster grip and helps liquids flow away so you don't slip. They're also "dual layer," meaning they're dipped twice for extra strength. Of course, they meet ASTM standards and have a superior AQL of 1.5.
What users are saying:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “These held up all day and they're thick without losing dexterity. The sizing is perfect as well. I will definitely buy these again.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Best gloves I have ever used. Hold up to everything. If you haven't tried them, you should.”
These two are like twins, just different colors! Both the Black Python (black) and the Copperhead (bright orange) are 8.5 mil thick. They also feature that amazing diamond texture for incredible grip and channeling away fluids. Both meet ASTM standards for nitrile gloves and have a superior AQL of 1.5 for consistency.
What users are saying:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I'm a plumber and these rubber gloves help maintain a barrier between myself and the nastiness I deal with on a daily basis!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “These are very nice gloves. Grippy even with oil on them. Thick enough to protect against most snags, but thin and flexible enough to be comfortable.”
If you love latex and want the most flexible, “old-school” gloves, the Diamondback should be your go-to. A really great classic and tough disposable glove.
If you want super strong nitrile with amazing grip, Glovezilla, Black Python, or Copperhead are awesome.
For a great all-around nitrile glove with textured fingertips, TopGrip HD is a winner! It's a top-notch glove for most tasks you will run into.
No matter which UniSafe glove you pick, you're getting quality made for plumbers, by people who understand plumbers.
