TruGlove
6.5 Mil Black Industrial Nitrile Gloves
The gauge most shops settle on. Heavy enough to survive a full shift of solvents, fasteners and abrasive edges — thin enough that your team can still feel a bolt thread. Textured fingertips, powder-free, S through XXL.

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.
What the extra mil buys you
Tear resistance
Steps up from the 5.5 mil where sharp edges, threaded fasteners and staples are part of the job. Fewer mid-task changes.
Textured fingertips
Micro-roughened grip pattern holds on oily and wet surfaces, so techs stop wiping down parts just to get purchase.
Powder-free, latex-free
No cornstarch residue on finished surfaces and no natural rubber proteins — safe to standardize across a mixed crew.
Black hides the mess
Grease, dye and shop grime do not show, so gloves stay in service on appearance instead of getting tossed early.
A shop glove that earns its place on the shelf
Most disposable glove programs fail in one of two directions. Go too thin and you burn through boxes — a 4 mil glove blows out on a hose clamp and the tech pulls two more. Go too thick and dexterity disappears, so the crew works bare-handed and the gloves sit in the cabinet. The 6.5 mil black nitrile is TruGlove's answer to both: enough wall thickness to finish the task, enough feel that nobody takes it off.
It is a fully synthetic nitrile film, so there is no natural rubber latex and no Type I allergy exposure across your workforce. Powder-free means no cornstarch transferring onto paint, glass, food-contact tooling or a customer's interior trim. The ambidextrous, beaded-cuff construction donates fast from a 100-count dispenser box and rolls off cleanly at the wrist.
Where it performs
This is the gauge that automotive service, MRO, warehouse and industrial janitorial teams standardize on. It handles common shop chemistry — brake cleaner overspray, degreasers, cutting fluids, adhesives, dyes and diluted sanitizers — for the short-duration, incidental splash contact that makes up most real-world glove use.
For extended immersion, aggressive solvents or known chemical hazards, check the breakthrough data for your specific chemistry and step up to the 8.5 mil heavy-duty nitrile or a reusable chemical-resistant glove.
