The Problem

Mechanic work destroys hands. Wrenches slip and knuckles bust on engine blocks. Brake fluid burns. Used oil seeps into every cut.

Nitrile gloves tear on the first stuck bolt. Mechanics gloves kill your feel for torque. Going bare means bloody knuckles and chemical exposure.

You need protection that survives real shop work.

How Guard-Tex Helps

Knuckle Defense

When the wrench slips, the tape takes the hit. Wrap knuckles before every job.

Fluid Barrier

Blocks brake fluid, coolant, and oil from cuts. Protection that stays put.

Full Torque Feel

Feel bolt tension. Feel the click. Maintain the dexterity mechanics need.

Guard-Tex vs. Gloves

Nitrile tears immediately. Mechanics gloves kill torque feel. Leather gets slippery with oil. Guard-Tex protects knuckles while maintaining the feel for precision work.

How to Wrap

1

Identify Wear Points

Wrap knuckles on your wrench hand. Add fingertips for intricate work.

2

Wrap 2-3 Layers

Two layers on knuckles, one on fingertips. More as needed for heavy work.

3

Unwrap Clean

Unwrap at day's end. No adhesive pulling at cuts, no residue on skin.

Pro Tips

  • Wrap before you bust a knuckle, not after.
  • Double-wrap the hand that does the pulling—wrenches slip that direction.
  • Tape blocks chemicals from cuts but isn't a chemical glove—wash up.

FAQ

Will Guard-Tex stop me from busting knuckles?

It cushions impact and prevents skin tears. Two layers on knuckles makes a real difference when the wrench slips.

Can I still feel bolt torque?

Yes. The thin cotton maintains tactile feedback. Feel the stretch, feel the click.

Does it block brake fluid?

It provides a barrier that keeps chemicals out of cuts. Not a chemical-resistant glove, but real protection.
