Blue latex gloves in a 13 mil heavy-duty gauge
The Gloveworks HD by AMMEX brings the classic shop formula β blue latex gloves, thick wall, grippy latex feel β to abrasion-heavy work: wrenching, parts handling, cleanup with incidental splash. As 13 mil latex gloves they sit at the heavy end of the disposable-style spectrum, built to survive the fastener edges and casting burrs that shred thin gloves in minutes. If you are still picking a material, the how to choose disposable gloves walkthrough and the nitrile vs latex vs vinyl reference lay out the trade-offs quickly.
Read the full Gloveworks HD Blue Latex Gloves, 13 Mil Heavy Duty review β
Within the AMMEX family, gloveworks latex gloves are the industrial line β and the HD blue is its heavy-gauge flagship, behaving more like reusable heavy duty rubber gloves than like the thin exam-style latex most people picture.

What the Gloveworks HD is for
Keep a box at the workbench for the jobs bare hands and thin gloves both lose: brake and suspension work, rusted hardware, demolition cleanup, drain and grease work. It lives in the latex gloves collection beside our trade gloves; if oils dominate your bay, weigh the picks in the best nitrile gloves for mechanics guide, since petroleum exposure is where latex gives way to nitrile. Laceration hazards belong to a different family entirely β see the cut-resistant gloves collection and the cut-resistant gloves complete guide. Employers documenting selection under OSHA 1910.132 should file the hazard assessment with the order.
Sensitized to natural rubber? Go nitrile
No latex glove works for a latex-sensitized crew member. The gauge-equivalent substitutes live in the nitrile gloves collection β start with the best heavy duty nitrile gloves guide, or the nitrile gloves complete guide for the whole family.
How the Gloveworks HD compares
Its closest neighbor is the 14 mil Adenna Hero β one mil thicker with an extended cuff, versus the HD's hi-vis blue. The Grease Monkey HD plays in the same heavy-gauge space, the SAS Dyna Grip and the SAS Thickster line are the SAS takes, and the Ansell Microflex Diamond Grip β see our Diamond Grip review β is the thin-gauge grip benchmark if dexterity outranks durability. Need an exam-designated latex instead? The Adenna Platinum carries that role, and for specific chemicals skip latex and match polymer to hazard in the chemical-resistant gloves collection.
Safety note: match this glove to your hazard assessment. A 13 mil latex glove for abrasion and incidental splash is not chemical splash hazard protection for concentrated or immersion work, carries no cut rating, and natural rubber is off-limits for anyone with a latex allergy. No disposable-style glove substitutes for the engineering controls your task requires.
Ordering FAQ
Which size of the Gloveworks HD blue latex gloves should I order?
We cover one configuration and the linked Amazon listing carries the manufacturer's size run. Heavy 13 mil latex stretches less than thin disposables, so between sizes go up β a tight palm is what splits thick gloves.
Are the Gloveworks HD gloves in stock and ready to ship?
This listing is active and ships through Amazon. Open the linked listing for live availability, size options, and delivery speed.
How many gloves come in the Gloveworks HD package?
Pack and case counts are shown on the linked Amazon listing for the configuration you select β verify the count there before ordering, since heavy-gauge lines often sell by the case.
Can I outfit a whole crew with the Gloveworks HD?
Yes β order across sizes on the linked listing. Case-level ordering is the usual route for shops that go through gloves weekly.
What work are the Gloveworks HD blue latex gloves built for?
Mechanic work, abrasion-heavy handling, and tasks with incidental splash β the jobs where thin disposable latex fails in minutes. For cut, impact, or chemical-immersion hazards, use the matching specialist glove families instead.
What does 13 mil mean in practice?
Mil is thousandths of an inch of glove wall. At 13 mil the Gloveworks HD carries roughly two to three times the material of a standard thin latex disposable β that is where its tear resistance and working life come from, traded against some fingertip feel.
Why are these gloves blue?
Blue is a work-glove convention that makes the glove easy to spot against skin, parts, and grime, and makes tears obvious at a glance. It carries no performance rating by itself.
Can people sensitized to natural rubber wear the Gloveworks HD?
No β this is a natural rubber latex glove. Pick a heavy-gauge nitrile equivalent instead; the nitrile gloves collection carries direct substitutes.
Can I use the Gloveworks HD with chemicals?
Treat it as protection for incidental splash only. For immersion or sustained contact, match the glove polymer to the specific chemical using your safety data sheets and the chemical-resistant gloves collection.
Are the Gloveworks HD gloves reusable?
The 13 mil wall survives multiple clean-task wears, but inspect before each use and discard at any nick, thin spot, or swelling β a compromised barrier protects nothing.
Gloveworks HD or the Adenna Hero β which heavy latex glove should I buy?
They solve the same problem in neighboring gauges: the Hero runs 14 mil with an extended cuff, the Gloveworks HD runs 13 mil in hi-vis blue. Pick by cuff coverage and color preference; both leave thin disposables behind.
Are these exam-grade gloves?
No exam designation is claimed on this listing β treat them as industrial work gloves. If your workplace requires exam-rated gloves, choose a listing that explicitly carries that designation.
How do I reorder the Gloveworks HD gloves later?
Reorder from this page β the product listing and its linked Amazon ASIN stay constant, so a repeat order takes seconds.
