Mechanics Gloves

Mechanics Gloves for Workshop and Site

The right pair of mechanics gloves does three things: keeps your hands clean and protected, lets you keep enough feel to handle small fasteners and parts, and lasts more than a few shifts. AIMS Industrial stocks mechanics gloves built for real workshop work — automotive, fabrication, mining, and general maintenance — across all the sizes Australian hands actually come in.

What we stock

• General mechanics gloves — synthetic leather palm with stretch back, the everyday workhorse
• Impact-rated gloves — TPR knuckle and finger guards for spanner work and panel removal
• High-dexterity gloves — thinner palm, touchscreen-compatible, for fine work and diagnostics
• Disposable nitrile mechanics gloves — for dirty jobs where you don't want to launder afterward
• Cut-resistant mechanics gloves — when sharp metal edges are part of the job

Choosing the right glove

Match the glove to the dominant task. If you're spending most of your day on spanners, sockets, and removal work, you want impact protection across the back of the hand. If you're on diagnostics, electrical work, or component assembly, dexterity wins — a thinner, snug-fitting palm is worth more than padding. Sizing matters too: a glove that's a half-size too large slips on small fasteners and tears at the fingertips faster.

Brands you'll find here

We stock Ergodyne, Grippaz, ProChoice, and other approved brands chosen because they fit Australian hands and survive Australian workshops. The range covers single-pair, multipack, and bulk options for fleet and toolbox replenishment.

Sizing and cuff style

Glove sizing matters more than brand. Measure across the palm at the knuckles — a snug glove gives feel and control, a loose one tears at the fingertips and slips on small fasteners. Most ranges run XS through 2XL with consistent sizing within a brand. Cuff style is the second decision: short cuffs (knit or elastic) for general work where you slip the glove on and off; long cuffs (gauntlet) where you want to keep debris and chemical splash off the wrist.

How long should a pair last?

For daily mechanical work, expect 4-8 weeks from a quality pair; less if the work is hard on the palm. Replacing tired gloves is cheaper than the lost productivity from torn fingertips and reduced grip — most workshops keep a small reserve and rotate new pairs as needed.
