What the Product Page Documents

Published July 16, 2026 · Last updated July 27, 2026

Grease Monkey General Purpose gloves are reusable nitrile coated work gloves — a breathable knit shell dipped in nitrile across the palm and fingers for grip, with the back left as open knit so your hand does not sweat the way it would in a full disposable glove. They are red, latex-free, touchscreen compatible, and chemical- and water-resistant, and they fit either hand with a snug knit wrist.

As nitrile coated gloves — sometimes called nitrile dipped gloves — the grease monkey gloves line is a proven, low-cost pick, and this 12-pack makes them a practical general purpose work gloves option for the whole crew.

General-purpose hands-on work where you want grip and breathability rather than a disposable liquid barrier — automotive and mechanic jobs, gardening, cleaning, masonry, machine-shop parts handling, and yard work. They are compared in our nitrile-coated vs PU-coated work gloves guide, and if you want cut protection instead, see our cut-resistant gloves for mechanics guide. For the coated-glove landscape, our Ansell HyFlex guide covers the premium end, and the background on the material is in our nitrile gloves complete guide.

Honest Limits

Its boundaries are the category's: protection is limited to the rated hazards at the rated levels, chemical exposure is governed by breakthrough time rather than resistance in the abstract, and fit determines whether any of it reaches the hand. Verify the marking against the task before relying on it.

Why trust this page?

Why trust this page? Every figure on it is taken from the published text of the standard or the manufacturer document named beside it, not from a secondary summary. WC Safety is an independent PPE review site: we hold no inventory and sell nothing directly, so there is no product we need this page to favour. Where sources disagree, the page says so and plans on the more conservative figure rather than picking one.

Methodology: how this page is maintained

Methodology. Figures are read from the primary source and re-checked whenever the underlying standard or a manufacturer document changes. No laboratory testing is performed for this page. Where a figure is not published, the page states that rather than estimating it, because a plausible invented number is more dangerous than an absent one.
