Fed up ruining my trackies working on the imp. where is the best place to get overalls and gloves? Demon Tweeks want £40 for OMP overalls seems bit on the expensive side

We buy ours in from a company called Maco not sure if you need a business account though.

You can get overalls from the internet easy enough, as for mechanics gloves, i just wear latex gloves, i find them better then mechanic gloves as you have more feel and dexterity

Yeah, latex gloves are definitely the way forward.

Another club I'm a member of does club overalls for £34, so maybe the OMP one's aren't that overpriced - they are a known brand after all. I wouldn't be buying them from Demon Thieves though!

I use latex gloves however they rip quite easily and thought that a glove might be more durable.

Happy medium?......not full on expensive gloves but alot stonger than latex ones, and theres 10 sets, so £2 a set.

Nitrile gloves are a lot stronger then Latex and you don't loose any of the feel associated with thicker gloves. They are also more chemical resistant i.e. won;t break when in contact with diesel, oils etc.

did I say I get good prices (we use a heck of a lot of them)

Nitrile also doesn't have the issue of latex allergy, dermatitis and all the dust associated with them that ruins your health.

I suppose I could say I get them free - but as I own the company someone somewhere along the line is asking me for money for them:lol:
