Pick the gauge, not the guess
Thickness is the single decision that drives cost, dexterity and how long a glove survives the task. Here is the full TruGlove range — tap any gauge to compare.
When nothing thinner will do
Maximum protection
The thickest gauge in the line — the best puncture, abrasion and tear resistance TruGlove makes for the harshest, sharpest, dirtiest work.
Diamond-texture grip
An aggressive raised diamond pattern channels oil and water away, so techs keep a locked grip on slick, heavy parts and power tools.
High-visibility orange
Safety orange stands out on the line and reads PPE compliance at a glance — and shows contamination against the bright finish.
Powder-free, latex-free
No cornstarch residue and no natural-rubber proteins — safe to standardize across a mixed crew on heavy-duty tasks.
The glove for the work that destroys gloves
When a job burns through 5 and 6 mil gloves in an hour, this is where it ends. At 8.5 mil the orange heavy-duty nitrile is the thickest, toughest disposable TruGlove makes — a full wall of synthetic nitrile with an aggressive diamond-texture grip and a high-visibility finish. It is the glove crews reach for when the alternative is a torn glove and a bare hand.
It is fully synthetic, so there is no natural rubber latex and no Type I allergy exposure, and it is powder-free for clean handling. The raised diamond texture runs across the palm and fingers to shed oil, coolant and water, holding grip on wet metal, greasy fasteners and power tools where a smooth glove would slip. The bright orange makes it obvious who is gloved up on a busy floor.
Where it performs
Heavy automotive and fleet, metal fabrication and welding prep, oil, gas and energy, construction and demolition, industrial sanitation and heavy warehouse handling. It stands up to sharp edges, threaded stock, abrasive surfaces and the common shop chemistry — solvents, degreasers, fuels and oils — for the incidental splash contact of real-world work.
For extended chemical immersion or a rated hazard, confirm the breakthrough data for your chemistry and use a reusable chemical-resistant glove. Need forearm coverage instead of a standard cuff? See the 8.5 mil blue extended-cuff nitrile. For lighter, higher-dexterity everyday work, drop to the 6.5 mil or 5.5 mil.
