The Problem

Plumbing destroys hands. Copper edges slice. PVC cement burns. Drain cables tear skin. Cabinet edges scrape knuckles bloody on every under-sink repair.

Gloves kill your feel—you can't thread fittings, can't feel leaks, can't work in tight cabinet spaces. Going bare means accepting the damage.

You need protection that fits where you work.

How Guard-Tex Helps

Survives Tight Spaces

Cabinet scrapes and rough-in work wear the tape, not your knuckles. Protection that goes where gloves can't.

Full Dexterity

Thread fittings by feel. Detect leaks by touch. Work in spaces too tight for gloves.

Zero Contamination

No adhesive residue on fixtures or fittings. Clean hands, clean work.

Guard-Tex vs. Gloves

Rubber gloves tear on first pipe thread. Leather won't fit under sinks. Nitrile loses grip when wet. Guard-Tex protects where you need it while maintaining the dexterity plumbers require.

How to Wrap

1

Identify Wear Points

Most plumbers wrap knuckles and fingertips. Add palm wraps for drain cable work.

2

Wrap 2-3 Layers

Start at fingertip, spiral down with 50% overlap. Two layers for light work.

3

Unwrap Clean

Just unwrap at day's end. No residue pulling at cuts or calluses.

Pro Tips

  • Wrap knuckles before cabinet work—they take the worst abuse.
  • Double-wrap your pull hand for drain cable work.
  • Tape survives getting wet—no need to rewrap after water contact.

FAQ

Will Guard-Tex leave residue on fixtures?

No. Guard-Tex sticks only to itself. Zero residue on chrome, brass, PVC, or any surface it touches.

Can I still feel leaks and fitting threads?

Yes. The thin cotton maintains tactile feedback. Feel threads, detect moisture, work by touch.

Does it survive getting wet?

Yes. Guard-Tex maintains grip when wet and dries quickly. No need to rewrap after water contact.
