I've been using, and will continue to use, the blue nitrile gloves the majority of the time. I rarely work on my car with mechanic's gloves. Nothing beats the dexterity of nitrile gloves and their ability to repel liquids instead of absorbing them.
+Dragan Celan I love the dexterity of nitrile gloves. That being said, I cannot wait to weld with those heat gloves! They bend way more than the ones I use now!
Saw all these gloves were from one company and was totally expecting a sponsor styled review that was clearly bias, no matter how much you were going to deny it. But well done. Truly felt like an unbiased opinion, even if you were clearly given these/sponsored by the company.
+cheapo911 I dont do sponsored videos. I get the products and test them. Companies contact me every day to give me products so I could care less if they like my review or not. I do the reviews for you not for them. Glad you liked it!
If you have watched all of his product testing videos like seafoam and fuel additive stuff then you can see how Chris gives it to you straight and doesn't give us sponsored bull.
Thanks for your videos it saved me a lot of money over the past couple years!! Keep doing what your doing, I've always been scared to take car parts apart but since watching your videos I'm confident 😎 thanks and have a good rest of the week 🙃
+Angel Derbessy I work in a chemical and materials lab and I've gone through a lot of brands of nitrile rubber gloves to try to find the best. The black ones tend to be the best. I prefer microflex black knight but I've also use the cheap generic black nitrile gloves from uline and they seem better than most, too. I think since they're meant for mechanics and tattooists, they're a little tought, or maybe the rubber is reinforced with carbon black or something. Whatever the reason, they just seem to hold up better to mechanical stresses, even after exposure to harsh solvents. The downside is they hide the grime on your hands and you might spread it around by accident. The standard bluish nitrile gloves are also pretty good, as long as they're at least about 5 mils thick. Thinner than that won't stand up to mechanical stresses well. Avoid anything advertised as being more stretchy or easier to put on/take off. They'll be doped with other types of rubber compromising their protective capabilities, strength, and even negatively impacting tactile sensation through the glove. Those along with the thinner nitrile gloves are more appropriate for medical and biological work, where they act as a barrier to generally aqueous contaminants, and without a whole of mechanical stress.
Hey a lot of youtubers make their videos only for fame and money but you are one of few youtubers that make the videos to help people and to inform them . You have good personality as far as I know and your good at speaking and with the camera I love your videos and the money you get from UA-cam is well deserved .keep up the good work ,thank you for everything
i like how you tested the gloves outside the box, no one is gonna hold their hand in flames on purpose but the gloves say heat resistant so you push it to the limit and thats great especially if you do need to toss a burning log or get your hand pinned to a hot surface in an engine its good to know they've been tested.
It's New Jersey parlance. I'm a Los Angeles native, but I went to Rutgers for grad school. I had to interrupt my classmate during the second week of classes to ask, "Hang on, what's this 'wooder' you keep mentioning?" I soon forgiven for being an outsider.
An advantage I find with fabric nitrile gloves is that they are stiffer and give my hands support as well as protecting them. I'm a mail carrier and had some pain in the first two fingers of my right hand, from clutching the mail and twisting and bending my hands so much. Now I wear fabric nitrile-dipped gloves all day. They never tear and protect my hands from scrapes and paper cuts too. They get hot in the summertime but I think it's a fair tradeoff. Also, they fit very snugly so I can pick up anything that I could pick up without gloves, get keys out of my pocket without removing my gloves, etc. The dollar store nitrile gloves are okay: I'd have to say they are great for the price but I don't use them. The ones I use are $5/pair and they are perfect.
thank you so much for reviewing gloves, with very bad arthritis in my hand combined with poor circulation I wear fingerless gloves constantly. your reviews helped out greatly, as I'm always in the market for new snow gloves
Chris ive never seen how you actually look, but i discovered the channel you did with eric, humble mechanic, and EE. So cool you guys made a channel together.
ChrisFix "Hey guys, *Chr*is Fix here, and this is a *Chr*is Fix *qui*ck tool review. Since this *Chr*is Fix *qui*ck tool review series is new, let me explain real *qui*ck what the main idea is." I gotta hand it to you, that would have taken me several tries to say without stumbling over myself hahaha
I love how you keep it interesting. I hate tool reviews but yours was actually fun to watch! Plus you are honest and not payed which is why I always come to your channel. Thanks Chris.
I always use shooter gloves because they’re usually thin enough to feel what you’re grabbing, a lot of them are heat resistant, and they usually have knuckle and palm pads though usually pretty thin. I think they’re pretty well rounded but of course you always have different gloves for different jobs.
I have an old pair of leather work gloves that go just past my wrist, and they work great. I got them as hand me downs from my grandpa who had them for about 15 years. I can weld in them, use the grinder, they keep my fingers warm in the winter, and they keep me from getting poked or cut.
Hey Chris please make a video sometime on calibrating your torque wrench as I'm in Canada and can't find any local places to take it to for recalibration. Thanks!
+Ninjar I watched the "How to use a torque wrench" video a while back and that is the only one I remembered so I looked again.

Maybe I missed it...let me know if you see it in his videos anywhere. Thanks!
hey chris, awhile ago in your brake tips video I said I was going to do my brakes soon. Well update, brakes are done and i even upgraded the front ones to a larger rotor and caliper. Your tips made everything cleaner and just easier. I am terrible with keeping things tidy so little tips like those really help an idiot like myself out. I don't wear gloves though, so this will be an interesting video for me. Find out how they perform. Thanks once again man, truly helpful :D
Thanks for sharing! I will check them out. I love hearing what you guys use because I don't know every product and a lot of your recommendations are what I use and try!
+ChrisFix yah I just finally wore out my previous pair after using them for a year. I get them at Home Depot. My line of work is landscaping and orchard work but mechanic gloves work better than garden gloves. Keep up the great videos Chris! :)
Chris, I'm a marine technician and generally don't wear gloves, but if I'm using carb or brake cleaner, doing trailer bearings or the like, I use the Hardy nitrile gloves from Harbor Freight. I also have a couple pairs of Mechanix gloves but don't wear them often.
Nice video, Chris. Please continue to include manufacturing information for your future reviews. It's important to me to know where the items were designed and made. If I may make a few suggestions for review videos, here are things I would find interesting... -Grease gun review (to include LockNLube coupler and a 90 degree coupler like Lumax) -Vampliers -Multi-meter -Safety glasses -Brake bleeder kits (the kind you can do on your own without a partner pumping brakes) Thanks for all the effort you make to create your videos...and for being candid and unbiased.
One slight comment for testing would be that the heat gun will not be at full temp when you first switch it on. So to be accurate about your times, you would need to measure the temp and ensure it's at the temperature you want, then place the glove in front of the hot air stream. That aside, thanks for testing out all the gloves ChrisFix.
I personally love Mechanix gloves since they are available and decently priced. I personally have never had an issue and they fit my hand the best. In no way do I overly use it, just basic vehicle repair work and for my job as the gloves given and being required to at least have on hand, suck. My main thing is not having slop in the glove causing dexterity and comfort loss.
your videos are really great man. i hope you go big but if you dont i willl still watch forever these have helped me a ton and fun to watch. Well done.
+ChrisFix Galaxy S5 is like an S3 Neo - A failed model... It's sad that people start hating on samsungs after using their not so good phones when there are much better ones... If you'd still like to try a Samsung phone I'd suggest getting a Note 4, their price dropped when Note 5 and S6 came out, but they still pack a punch and compete with iPhone 5S and even 6
Chris a question you should add to the product review videos is "If I lost this product today would I go out and buy it tomorrow?" Really shows how good the product is!
+Brett Daniel That is a good idea. I tried to say the same thing by saying would I recommend it to a friend (or you guys) also is it ChrisFix approved because my word is important to me!
Great video Chris! And FYI to those complaining that this is sponsored cuz of all the gloves being from the same manufacturer, well, they make multiple kinds of gloves for different applications.. So of course he would have a bunch from the same maker.. This isn't a comparison video..
+kain452005 Thanks a lot. I dont know why people are complaining because you guys know me. I do this stuff unsponsored and 100% honest. What is the point if I got payed and lied? Besides not being able to sleep at night, that wouldnt help and all my videos are about helping! Makes me not want to do these types of videos :/
+ChrisFix ignore them.. You make great videos and I genuinely enjoy them even if they have NOTHING to do with my vehicle.. Side note, I seen the video where you made a "guest appearance" on +EricTheCarGuy and I look forward to that collaboration.. lol
I happened across Ironclad and got a pair just last week. It's good to see they're a decent line. Great vid as always Chris...and useful. Keep 'em coming. I like that you do cars, but wish you or someone with your eye to detail did motorcycle DIY vids as well. Best regards!
It's easy! Grab a towel and put a little alcohol in it and clean the rubber part that rubs against the windshield to clean it and keep it rubberized. Also if you can go to ur nearest auto parts store and buy a clay bar kit the cheapest one will do, and clay your windshield and keep it clean. Especially where the wiper blades sit when there not being used! Hope that helps, it took the squeezing and jumping out of my wipers.
+christopher dotto buy silicone windshield wipers. they last for years! comercial shops will never sell them because they last long and they will lose money simply because they make thousands of dollars a month off the rubber ones.... all you have to do is rub them clean with alcohol like the others are telling you.
My curiosity has been piqued by the Tundra gloves. I hate driving through rain on the motorcycle only to have your gloves soaked for the rest of the ride. Leather snowmobile jacket + full face helmet + Tundra gloves = nice road trip gear. I wonder if they're flexible enough to comfortably hold a throttle position for hours on end.
I have dewalt impact gloves, and oddly my favorite use of them is for mowing the lawn. I have a rider and a big yard, so I use them for about 3-4 hours a week in the summer. They were gift since I complained to my dad how my hands and arms would get tingly from all the vibrations.
+buggsyspam haha, I hate that tingly feeling! Yea, my friend tested some gloves too because he works on forklifts and uses gloves every day. His favorites were the impact ones too!
I love your videos. you're very detailed and very informative. the best oart,you explain things that others think it wont matter. like, examples either explaining or actual visuals on the projects you're doing and I love learning. I'm hungry to learn from the beginning what to how. thank you for that!
youre awesome Chris Fix. You're the only person I know who has placed a welding mask on the camera to weld. Ever other person whom I've watched don't do this and I'm always forced to use my hand to block the screen when welding. #Respect
Thanks! Just so you know, the damaging UV rays from welding and the brightness cannot be recreated by a tv or computer or phone screen so you can look at it all you want.
I used to wear the artic iron class as they were water proof. Best gloves if you have to get wet. however, they used to run $40 a pair, so I used them sparingly. very often I had to use the PVC rubber coated kind. they were good when you needed to grip metals, such as pipes in the cold but didn't require alot of dexterity. then I had the rubber grip but regular nylon backside if I needed dexterity in wet/cold. I also had a good pair of leather/deer skin stuff for less complex but sharp or pointy things. worked good for when you were using a hammer or saw with rough wood. I climbed poles as a cable splicer, so there was a really good mix of heavy lifting, blunt force and dexterity required in all weather conditions. a good selection of gloves you could throw on the heater really made a big difference when it was -18°f plus wind chill.
+lilsammywasapunkrock Thanks for sharing! This is great info and wow, you work in tough conditions!! That was the biggest problem with the gloves because you want to use them but you dont want to wear them out because they are expensive!
+ChrisFix thanks Chris. the power guys are the really tough guys. and it is much more dangerous. an idea for a good tool to review, its a ratchet handle wrench. used to be branded stanley,mbut now it's called bostich. it runs $20-25 at Walmart but is perfect for tough to reach places. if you've ever had to do a starter on a ford 4.6 or 5.4 with 4wd, there isn't much room and it takes forever. with the ratchet handle, you can twist the handle instead of the wrench and it has a much finer ratchet. you'll get 4-6 clicks for every one with a standard wrench. well worth picking up for the junkyard run/grab bag.
I thought so, but the best tip i can give you is if you think you are going slow then go even slower. Keeping it straight, making patterns, or pulling or pushing and angle makes a huge difference and is very useful in different areas and times. Watching videos on those and understanding them will help you allot. And it is better to keep the amps pretty high, close to going trough. As there is nothing worse then a cold weld and also the arc is more rapid so it makes your weld smoother. Few great tips for you. Don't know, maybe soon we will start to see custom builds on the cars :D
Agree with Nitrile gloves (use them in aviation 24/7 more or less). Can't feeling anything is called "tactile feedback" and is quite bad, you can't feel that grinding in a part or a thread, etc. I also always use barrier cream first, even if I don't wear gloves - when it comes to washing up at the end of the day, all of the oil, grease and crap comes straight off with minimal scrubbing. I enjoyed learning about the various applications of the gloves though, cheers from Australia.
As a mechanic I use nitrile 7mm raven gloves for working and I have some welding gloves like what you had but I destroy them quickly welding a lot. Mainly they get destroyed by damaging them, not due to heat or fire. A sharp piece or something like that and they get cut and then you have places pieces of nice hot crap can burn your skin. It makes it more exciting that way... lol
+ChrisFix I think you should do some typical diagnostic stuff, for the easiest diagnostics that I hate even dealing with at my job. Message me for some ideas of these and how to prove them. Jaredweldy@gmail.com
I like the insulated "mechanics gloves", I work in a delivery bussiness, & work on cars on the side. They grip well, can somehow still use my phone, move pallets, grip my wrench in the cold (so far as low as 28f), does well near heat like the headers. The only thing I don't like is the straps, I'm always removing them for paper work. If I find a pair of slip on gloves, that would be great. you still can't beat 10$ for 2 pairs.
i have not watched this video but i already know the answer --- best work gloves for DIYer WORKING ON YOUR CAR? MEDICAL GLOVES! END OF STORY! now, if you're working construction and working with a chainsaw or whatever then it's all pretty much the same ... to to costco and get some lambs-skin or just whatever's cheap... but the nitrite and latex gloves? 90% of the time they are the absolute best GREAT VIDEO CHRIS! really well done
+Jay ayee Awesome! That is the perfect glove for you then! A subscriber just commented saying he works for FedEx for 3 years and uses the Box handling gloves!
Hey Chris. I love your videos and during this one i saw the canon. Im wondering what type that is and how much it cost. For the future you should list the camera items or equipment you used in the discription. Again love your vidoes, dont crash, be safe and have fun CHRISFIX STYLE!!😄
+Andrew Heinrich The green ones are a good one (first link in the description) for us car guys. That is what I have been using and I actually like them!
Smashing :-D I think ive only worn two types of glove, ones for motorbike riding in bad weather, stops numb hands and frozen digits. Also the gardening sort. Im no lover of gloves for mechanical repairs eather, lack of feedback annoys me lol.
Great honest review like always +ChrisFix ! My first thought when you put your bare hand in front of that heat gun was, "This guy takes his reviews to the next level" keep up the good work and we are looking forward to the next nightlight video! #chrisfix #chrisfixreviews
I found general purpose home depot work winter gloves are better than winter gloves from sports or clothing stores, for general wear: warmer, better grip, cheaper and easier to clean. Also made for heavy lifting like buying stuff at depot, or groceries, makes it easier.
If I had a pair of those gloves they'd be giving you two thumbs up. I should really invest in something like these. I'm always dropping things or injuring my fingers, lol.
+SGM 26 Haha, I was going to include a clip of me dropping a weight on my hand but it was really a manikin hand because the armor will not protect you against that lol. I decided not to include that.
this sounds weird but I loved their landscaping gloves for all around use. They had a sweat absorbing patch on the thumb, had a very rough material that broke in nicely and wasn't thick. I used them for everything but landscaping
This is a great video. As I work outside in any weather. One problem, the biggest is sizing. Or the smallest really. For a a person I have quite small hands and I usually have to special order. And as a woman even then a ladies size small is too long on my fingers. Any suggestions?
+Sara Douglas I would call the company and ask them. That is not something I really know about. My hands are "large" in the glove size which makes it pretty simple for me! Good luck!
I have a few gloves to do the job, but the problem with me is when my truck decides to break down on me for some odd reason. I had water hoses go out on me, oil lines breaking and fuel lines breaking on me or starting to leak really bad. Today, I was stuck in a parking lot trying to figure out why my truck was leaking fuel. I didn't have gloves, so I had to do this with bare hands. I was under my truck for 20 minutes figuring out how to get my truck to stop leaking over a gallon of fuel a minute to get back on the road. Overall, I got my truck to stop leaking fuel. It was an easy fix, but solved it on my own. Turned out when I replaced the fuel lines in my truck to my own custom made lines, the connector to the original OEM made lines had a broken rubber seal, so I took the other seal from the vapor line off and put it on the line where the fuel gets to the engine. Now I have to get a new rubber seal for the vapor line. But all in all, I got it up and running in a matter of no time. Gloves aren't needed on vehicles if you just wanna do it yolo style or if you wanna be clean. My job is dirty, so I don't care. I always take a shower when I get home.
hey chris fix could you do a video of how to properly clean up a dirty engine bay. I've seen videos of guys hosing them down and others using sprays. My point is that I trust you more than them with their methods. thanks!
+xx yy I've used the pressure wash method on two engines first was a Mercedes 2.0l engine second was a Ford Fiesta with a 1.3l engine. Both engines survived however the Mercedes did develop a misfire when water pooled up under a cover for the spark plugs and leads. Just needed to be dried out and clean the ends of the leads and it was good as new again. But yea would be nice to know the Chrisfix method!
I prefer the cheap deer skin gloves from Home Depot. Very strong. I work at a Christmas tree farm schlepping trees around all day. Blue spruces have sharp tough needles and those gloves protect very well. But I also need dexterity for tying the twine. These are the only ones that don't get holes after 3 weekends. Highly recommend the deer skin gloves. I have to wear a women's large because my hands are the size of baby hands :(
@ChrisFix damn u saw my comment, its pretty old video😅. want to say thank u for everything u teached me bout cars. I have seen almost every video that u made😅. And I appreciate your videos so much. U get me to the car community I would say. Hope It will cheer u up in Makin videos. Btw sorry for my English I am europan and English is just my second language. But u teached me English pretty good as well😅. Stay safe btw💥
This was an interesting video compared to your normal stuff.. Its cool to have someone actually test things and show it off. It would be cool to see a review or opinion in like 3 months. Those tundra gloves look stubby in the fingers. hmmm. but if it keeps out the cold. A OK!!
+FlamEffect Thanks a lot! This is after about 3 months of use. I dont just get products and make a video. My reputation is at stake so I make sure I torture test them and make sure it is something I would use in the future. Yea, those tundra gloves have very stubby fingers but they are so warm I couldnt believe it!
I've been using Iron Clad gloves for almost 5 years, now. I love their gloves. The touch screens rip fast depending on how you use it, but it did have it's benefits.
You should have your own "ChrisFix Verified" stamp lol. Would let the realest car guys and gals know whats good
That would actually be sick. Thing is tho, a monopoly on "chrisfix approved products" might be bad for aftermarket suppliers

I just scrolled down to see if anyone else caught that! Awesome.
Chris,
I'm a marine technician and generally don't wear gloves, but if I'm using carb or brake cleaner, doing trailer bearings or the like, I use the Hardy nitrile gloves from Harbor Freight. I also have a couple pairs of Mechanix gloves but don't wear them often.
+classicoutboards I tend to do the same thing but I wear nitrile gloves all the time now.
chris, can you make a video on how to use a welder ??
Look at chucke2009 i learned really good tips from him he got me through welding school
Wow, Kinda disturbing how easily that rotor shattered.
Nice work Chris! Keep em coming.
I was really pounding it hard but even I wasn't expecting it to break!
“Get back to work!”
LMAO 😂
Nice video, Chris. Please continue to include manufacturing information for your future reviews. It's important to me to know where the items were designed and made.
If I may make a few suggestions for review videos, here are things I would find interesting...
-Grease gun review (to include LockNLube coupler and a 90 degree coupler like Lumax)
-Vampliers
-Multi-meter
-Safety glasses
-Brake bleeder kits (the kind you can do on your own without a partner pumping brakes)
Thanks for all the effort you make to create your videos...and for being candid and unbiased.
CHRIS! That middle watch, where do you get that?! That's awesome! haha
+JetlinerX Haha, I am testing it out to see if it is worth selling with my logo on it. It is pretty cool!
ChrisFix I hope it holds up! Its pretty sweet!

Andrea Rustinelli You get what you pay for, so I am TOTALLY not buying that.
One slight comment for testing would be that the heat gun will not be at full temp when you first switch it on. So to be accurate about your times, you would need to measure the temp and ensure it's at the temperature you want, then place the glove in front of the hot air stream. That aside, thanks for testing out all the gloves ChrisFix.
+Sean Curtin The heat gun was run for 2 minutes prior to each test.
+ChrisFix
Chris I don't mean to contradict you but the gun is clearly shown being switched on and off during the testing in the video?
I personally love Mechanix gloves since they are available and decently priced. I personally have never had an issue and they fit my hand the best. In no way do I overly use it, just basic vehicle repair work and for my job as the gloves given and being required to at least have on hand, suck.
My main thing is not having slop in the glove causing dexterity and comfort loss.
Exactly. Thanks for sharing
your videos are really great man. i hope you go big but if you dont i willl still watch forever these have helped me a ton and fun to watch. Well done.
+SliPsHoTiFc Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the support! It means a lot man!
+ChrisFix you deserve it man.
Mm is it time to buy a project car with 0 experience under my belt besides watching Chris fix videos ?? 🤔
Yes it is!
Bout to buy my very own 1997 Mustang Gt wish me luck lol
98*
i use the ironclad box handler gloves as mechanics gloves. they dont last as long but the dexterity is great.
+John Cook I started doing the same thing!
Haha having trouble with your S5 updates I see.
+WinXPwhiz The stupid phone is so slow, wont send messages, and it freezes up all the time. It is driving me crazy!
+ChrisFix Galaxy S5 is like an S3 Neo - A failed model... It's sad that people start hating on samsungs after using their not so good phones when there are much better ones... If you'd still like to try a Samsung phone I'd suggest getting a Note 4, their price dropped when Note 5 and S6 came out, but they still pack a punch and compete with iPhone 5S and even 6
+ChrisFix i suggest you get the lg nexus 5x...decently priced quick and gets all updates first or if you want a bigger phone the 6p
My sister had an S5, they tend to get very sluggish in usual operation and in sending texts after some time. Not sure why.
+Deividas Gedgaudas It just started after Tmobile forced me to update the phone.
Chris a question you should add to the product review videos is "If I lost this product today would I go out and buy it tomorrow?" Really shows how good the product is!
+Brett Daniel That is a good idea. I tried to say the same thing by saying would I recommend it to a friend (or you guys) also is it ChrisFix approved because my word is important to me!
+ChrisFix I see I see! Keep of the great videos :)
when I found out Chrisfix wasn't 18, rather a grown ass man with a gotee... I had to reevaluate my life
Great video Chris! And FYI to those complaining that this is sponsored cuz of all the gloves being from the same manufacturer, well, they make multiple kinds of gloves for different applications.. So of course he would have a bunch from the same maker.. This isn't a comparison video..
+kain452005 Thanks a lot. I dont know why people are complaining because you guys know me. I do this stuff unsponsored and 100% honest. What is the point if I got payed and lied? Besides not being able to sleep at night, that wouldnt help and all my videos are about helping! Makes me not want to do these types of videos :/
+ChrisFix ignore them.. You make great videos and I genuinely enjoy them even if they have NOTHING to do with my vehicle.. Side note, I seen the video where you made a "guest appearance" on +EricTheCarGuy and I look forward to that collaboration.. lol
+kain452005 Thanks man! I appreciate all of the support!
''GET BACK TO WOK'' ChrisFix: Alright , Alright Me: LMAO LOL
I happened across Ironclad and got a pair just last week. It's good to see they're a decent line. Great vid as always Chris...and useful. Keep 'em coming. I like that you do cars, but wish you or someone with your eye to detail did motorcycle DIY vids as well. Best regards!
Can you make a video on how to fix noisy windshield wipers... They're pissing me off lol. Ty
It's easy! Grab a towel and put a little alcohol in it and clean the rubber part that rubs against the windshield to clean it and keep it rubberized. Also if you can go to ur nearest auto parts store and buy a clay bar kit the cheapest one will do, and clay your windshield and keep it clean. Especially where the wiper blades sit when there not being used! Hope that helps, it took the squeezing and jumping out of my wipers.
+Adrian Lobaina Hey man I appreciate the feedback. I'll try it later today and get back to you!
+christopher dotto definitely man let me know!
Try cleaning the wipers blade with Apple cider vinegar. Doesn't hurt to clean the exterior windshield with it either. Great degreaser
+christopher dotto buy silicone windshield wipers. they last for years! comercial shops will never sell them because they last long and they will lose money simply because they make thousands of dollars a month off the rubber ones.... all you have to do is rub them clean with alcohol like the others are telling you.
My curiosity has been piqued by the Tundra gloves. I hate driving through rain on the motorcycle only to have your gloves soaked for the rest of the ride. Leather snowmobile jacket + full face helmet + Tundra gloves = nice road trip gear. I wonder if they're flexible enough to comfortably hold a throttle position for hours on end.
8:17: Love listening to blue danube waltz, keep remembering simpsons epidsode when homer is in space
I have dewalt impact gloves, and oddly my favorite use of them is for mowing the lawn. I have a rider and a big yard, so I use them for about 3-4 hours a week in the summer. They were gift since I complained to my dad how my hands and arms would get tingly from all the vibrations.
+buggsyspam haha, I hate that tingly feeling! Yea, my friend tested some gloves too because he works on forklifts and uses gloves every day. His favorites were the impact ones too!
(In Cornholio voice) FFFIRE!!! FFFIRE!!! hmm hmm yeah yeah.
Not sure too many will get that reference. Well done.
+Frank Gonzalez isn't it "cornholio" ?
bunkerbuster Yes. You both typed the same thing.
+J Bullast man my eyes are going bad. thank you for clarifying that ;)
+J Bullast oh I know. but I really should get my eyes checked lol cornholio!!
I love your videos. you're very detailed and very informative.
the best oart,you explain things that others think it wont matter. like, examples either explaining or actual visuals on the projects you're doing and I love learning. I'm hungry to learn from the beginning what to how. thank you for that!
Okay, dumb question time. What nitrate gloves do you use?
+MadBeausuff I use these (long cuff): amzn.to/1PdJZgv
thanks for asking, i had this same question!
MadBeausuff the cheep ones
youre awesome Chris Fix. You're the only person I know who has placed a welding mask on the camera to weld. Ever other person whom I've watched don't do this and I'm always forced to use my hand to block the screen when welding.
#Respect
Thanks! Just so you know, the damaging UV rays from welding and the brightness cannot be recreated by a tv or computer or phone screen so you can look at it all you want.
not a fan of the flux cored
Me neither but it's all I can afford.
+ChrisFix chris y can't u put them in the dryer thanks
Yea but it is inexpensive
I used to wear the artic iron class as they were water proof. Best gloves if you have to get wet. however, they used to run $40 a pair, so I used them sparingly. very often I had to use the PVC rubber coated kind. they were good when you needed to grip metals, such as pipes in the cold but didn't require alot of dexterity. then I had the rubber grip but regular nylon backside if I needed dexterity in wet/cold. I also had a good pair of leather/deer skin stuff for less complex but sharp or pointy things. worked good for when you were using a hammer or saw with rough wood.
I climbed poles as a cable splicer, so there was a really good mix of heavy lifting, blunt force and dexterity required in all weather conditions. a good selection of gloves you could throw on the heater really made a big difference when it was -18°f plus wind chill.
+lilsammywasapunkrock Thanks for sharing! This is great info and wow, you work in tough conditions!! That was the biggest problem with the gloves because you want to use them but you dont want to wear them out because they are expensive!
+ChrisFix thanks Chris. the power guys are the really tough guys. and it is much more dangerous.
an idea for a good tool to review, its a ratchet handle wrench. used to be branded stanley,mbut now it's called bostich. it runs $20-25 at Walmart but is perfect for tough to reach places. if you've ever had to do a starter on a ford 4.6 or 5.4 with 4wd, there isn't much room and it takes forever. with the ratchet handle, you can twist the handle instead of the wrench and it has a much finer ratchet. you'll get 4-6 clicks for every one with a standard wrench.
well worth picking up for the junkyard run/grab bag.
I don't know man, i really like your videos but you should really practice your welding :D
+Siim Tuulik haha, I just did that real quick. I do need to practice though.
I thought so, but the best tip i can give you is if you think you are going slow then go even slower.
Keeping it straight, making patterns, or pulling or pushing and angle makes a huge difference and is very useful in different areas and times.
Watching videos on those and understanding them will help you allot.
And it is better to keep the amps pretty high, close to going trough. As there is nothing worse then a cold weld and also the arc is more rapid so it makes your weld smoother.
Few great tips for you. Don't know, maybe soon we will start to see custom builds on the cars :D
another awesome video. I've never hated your stuff, but the last few have been awesome.
Us Mexicans don't wear gloves for work at all lol
Chris!!! My S52 swap is done. Dude!!!!!! As soon as I make a video I'll message you. It's amazing. Supercharged sounds like se*
+General HowTo NO WAYYY! I cannot wait!
Agree with Nitrile gloves (use them in aviation 24/7 more or less). Can't feeling anything is called "tactile feedback" and is quite bad, you can't feel that grinding in a part or a thread, etc.
I also always use barrier cream first, even if I don't wear gloves - when it comes to washing up at the end of the day, all of the oil, grease and crap comes straight off with minimal scrubbing.
I enjoyed learning about the various applications of the gloves though, cheers from Australia.
+TheApothecaryAus Interesting. I need to check out barrier cream! Thanks for sharing! I am glad you enjoy the videos!
As a mechanic I use nitrile 7mm raven gloves for working and I have some welding gloves like what you had but I destroy them quickly welding a lot. Mainly they get destroyed by damaging them, not due to heat or fire. A sharp piece or something like that and they get cut and then you have places pieces of nice hot crap can burn your skin. It makes it more exciting that way... lol
+Jared Weldy Same. The 7mm are thick enough but not too thick!
+ChrisFix It all depends on the manufacturer. some of the cheaper ones tear really easy and I can't stand it.
+ChrisFix I think you should do some typical diagnostic stuff, for the easiest diagnostics that I hate even dealing with at my job. Message me for some ideas of these and how to prove them. Jaredweldy@gmail.com
You got some big balls, Chris. I'd never put my hand over the flame, lol.
I like the insulated "mechanics gloves", I work in a delivery bussiness, & work on cars on the side. They grip well, can somehow still use my phone, move pallets, grip my wrench in the cold (so far as low as 28f), does well near heat like the headers. The only thing I don't like is the straps, I'm always removing them for paper work. If I find a pair of slip on gloves, that would be great. you still can't beat 10$ for 2 pairs.
+Jose Lozano Thanks for sharing! I need to try those out!
i have not watched this video but i already know the answer --- best work gloves for DIYer WORKING ON YOUR CAR? MEDICAL GLOVES! END OF STORY!
now, if you're working construction and working with a chainsaw or whatever then it's all pretty much the same ... to to costco and get some lambs-skin or just whatever's cheap... but the nitrite and latex gloves? 90% of the time they are the absolute best
GREAT VIDEO CHRIS! really well done
28
definitely picking up those winter gloves
Nice Man, I was going to say the nitrile gloves are the best. Good series man!
LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE REVIEWS LIKE THIS. VERY WELL DONE.
+Joshua Bliffen Thanks a lot!
this a true UA-cam channel, awesome videos man
+Hunter Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate the support!
Thanks Chrisfix for the info on the Box handling gloves I work for UPS so I'm messing with boxes all day
UPS=Useless Postal Service
+Amasushuky (Amas) Unless you live in a modern area like the rest of us humans
+Jay ayee na jk
+Jay ayee Awesome! That is the perfect glove for you then! A subscriber just commented saying he works for FedEx for 3 years and uses the Box handling gloves!
just ordered the tundra gloves. look good, will try them out based on your recomendation.👍
+dennis tresselt Thanks! Let me know what you think! I cannot wait to try them out in the snow!
Hey Chris. I love your videos and during this one i saw the canon. Im wondering what type that is and how much it cost. For the future you should list the camera items or equipment you used in the discription. Again love your vidoes, dont crash, be safe and have fun CHRISFIX STYLE!!😄
Another great video Chris! Although here it's 1.37 at night, it is still lots of fun to watch your videos haha :)
+VintageOutboardMan Thanks a lot bud! I really appreciate the support and glad you enjoyed the video even at almost 2 am!
I've had great experience with Foxhead's bomber MTB gloves for working on stuff, they have great feel in the fingers and are durable as hell.
+Rbillionn Thanks for sharing! I will have to check them out!
Great Video Chris! I have been considering buying a pair of Ironclad gloves, and now I am going to buy a pair!
+Andrew Heinrich The green ones are a good one (first link in the description) for us car guys. That is what I have been using and I actually like them!
+ChrisFix Thanks, I will have to buy a pair in the morning!
Smashing :-D
I think ive only worn two types of glove, ones for motorbike riding in bad weather, stops numb hands and frozen digits.
Also the gardening sort.
Im no lover of gloves for mechanical repairs eather, lack of feedback annoys me lol.
Awesome gift! I like bluedriver and stanley tools
+David Tedja Thanks!
Great honest review like always +ChrisFix ! My first thought when you put your bare hand in front of that heat gun was, "This guy takes his reviews to the next level" keep up the good work and we are looking forward to the next nightlight video! #chrisfix #chrisfixreviews
+Brit Hull Haha, you should have seen my mom shaking her head as I was filming this with the torch hahahaha. Thanks a lot bud!
Mechanix Fast Fit Leather are my personal faves!
I found general purpose home depot work winter gloves are better than winter gloves from sports or clothing stores, for general wear: warmer, better grip, cheaper and easier to clean. Also made for heavy lifting like buying stuff at depot, or groceries, makes it easier.
If I had a pair of those gloves they'd be giving you two thumbs up.
I should really invest in something like these. I'm always dropping things or injuring my fingers, lol.
+SGM 26 Haha, I was going to include a clip of me dropping a weight on my hand but it was really a manikin hand because the armor will not protect you against that lol. I decided not to include that.
Now we know the truth that these are all ads, except the heat gloves maybe. Nothing is better than the blue rubber gloves ;D
this sounds weird but I loved their landscaping gloves for all around use. They had a sweat absorbing patch on the thumb, had a very rough material that broke in nicely and wasn't thick. I used them for everything but landscaping
+Landon Storey Thanks for sharing! That doesnt sound weird. My cousin likes the shock absorbing gloves for all the work he does.
This is a great video. As I work outside in any weather. One problem, the biggest is sizing. Or the smallest really. For a a person I have quite small hands and I usually have to special order. And as a woman even then a ladies size small is too long on my fingers. Any suggestions?
+Sara Douglas I would call the company and ask them. That is not something I really know about. My hands are "large" in the glove size which makes it pretty simple for me! Good luck!
I have a pair of iron clads that have a magnetic patch on the back side. very useful!!
Great reviews! Gloves are important round the shop!!
+Bob M. Tyranny Destroyer Thanks!
I have a few gloves to do the job, but the problem with me is when my truck decides to break down on me for some odd reason. I had water hoses go out on me, oil lines breaking and fuel lines breaking on me or starting to leak really bad. Today, I was stuck in a parking lot trying to figure out why my truck was leaking fuel. I didn't have gloves, so I had to do this with bare hands. I was under my truck for 20 minutes figuring out how to get my truck to stop leaking over a gallon of fuel a minute to get back on the road. Overall, I got my truck to stop leaking fuel. It was an easy fix, but solved it on my own. Turned out when I replaced the fuel lines in my truck to my own custom made lines, the connector to the original OEM made lines had a broken rubber seal, so I took the other seal from the vapor line off and put it on the line where the fuel gets to the engine. Now I have to get a new rubber seal for the vapor line. But all in all, I got it up and running in a matter of no time. Gloves aren't needed on vehicles if you just wanna do it yolo style or if you wanna be clean. My job is dirty, so I don't care. I always take a shower when I get home.
+DJ Overspin Stuff always happens when you dont have gloves lol. Glad you got the fuel leak fixed! Nice work!
I respect you for putting a welding past over the camera, thank you
What?
It can damage the camera.
hey chris fix
could you do a video of how to properly clean up a dirty engine bay. I've seen videos of guys hosing them down and others using sprays.
My point is that I trust you more than them with their methods.
thanks!
+xx yy I've used the pressure wash method on two engines first was a Mercedes 2.0l engine second was a Ford Fiesta with a 1.3l engine. Both engines survived however the Mercedes did develop a misfire when water pooled up under a cover for the spark plugs and leads. Just needed to be dried out and clean the ends of the leads and it was good as new again. But yea would be nice to know the Chrisfix method!
xx yy sponge and soap
And aftercoat spray
I prefer the cheap deer skin gloves from Home Depot. Very strong. I work at a Christmas tree farm schlepping trees around all day. Blue spruces have sharp tough needles and those gloves protect very well. But I also need dexterity for tying the twine. These are the only ones that don't get holes after 3 weekends. Highly recommend the deer skin gloves. I have to wear a women's large because my hands are the size of baby hands :(
i bought myself mechanix gloves. they are a bit more expensive but they provide me the most protection and comfort. so i recomend them :-)
Thanks for sharing!
@ChrisFix damn u saw my comment, its pretty old video😅. want to say thank u for everything u teached me bout cars. I have seen almost every video that u made😅. And I appreciate your videos so much. U get me to the car community I would say. Hope It will cheer u up in Makin videos.
Btw sorry for my English I am europan and English is just my second language. But u teached me English pretty good as well😅. Stay safe btw💥
This was an interesting video compared to your normal stuff.. Its cool to have someone actually test things and show it off.
It would be cool to see a review or opinion in like 3 months.
Those tundra gloves look stubby in the fingers. hmmm. but if it keeps out the cold. A OK!!
+FlamEffect Thanks a lot! This is after about 3 months of use. I dont just get products and make a video. My reputation is at stake so I make sure I torture test them and make sure it is something I would use in the future. Yea, those tundra gloves have very stubby fingers but they are so warm I couldnt believe it!
I've been using Iron Clad gloves for almost 5 years, now. I love their gloves. The touch screens rip fast depending on how you use it, but it did have it's benefits.
Saw the review by EricTheCarGuy and both of you guys gave them good reviews. Will have to give them a try when my current ones wear out.
+SidewaysInTraffic He reviewed them too? Lol, I should have checked.
great choice to make a glove review now in the beginning of december :) those tundra gloves look great also
+Techno sailor I am excited to use those for shoveling snow!
I like hyflex gloves they allow you to actually feel what you are working on
Love The Video's Chris. Can never learn too much from you..
+Sherri Vassau Thanks a lot Sherri!
ChrisFix is immobile to anything so when he takes of the gloves his hands will just turn red love you ChrisFix
