Most shops compare hand protection suppliers by the glove. They count styles and compare the price per box. That comparison stops when the gloves come off, and the work does not.
At the end of a repair, hands are still covered in grease and grime. A supplier that covers the glove and the cleanup gives you one line to ask for. This post compares the GROWL line with other glove vendors on exactly that point.
One Shop Day, Eight Products
Take a normal day in a truck shop. A tech starts with fluid service and puts on GrowlGRRRIP Beartooth nitrile gloves, available in 6MIL and 8MIL, for wet and oily work. Quick jobs call for GrowlTECH nitrile or vinyl disposables.
Parts handling brings sharp edges, so the tech switches to ClawGUARD sandy nitrile dipped gloves, available in A4, A5, A6, and A9. Heavy loading and hauling call for ClawSKINZ cowhide leather work gloves. Dry sorting at the parts counter calls for ClawFORCE knit work gloves, and a frame repair calls for ClawFORGE cowhide welding gloves for the heat.
Then the work ends. GrowlTOWEL Industrial Scrubbing Towels and Industrial Stay-Wet Towels handle cleanup between jobs, and GrizzlyGRIT Power Scrub Hand Cleaner finishes the shift.
Where the Lines Overlap
On the glove side, GROWL covers the core categories. GrowlTECH and GrowlGRRRIP are the disposables. ClawGUARD handles cut hazards, ClawSKINZ covers leather, and ClawFORGE covers welding.
Other glove vendors cover these categories too. The difference is what comes after the glove.
Where the Lines Split
Gloves protect your hands during the work. Then the gloves come off, and the cleanup starts.
A vendor that sells only gloves leaves that step to whatever else is on the shelf. GROWL covers it with GrowlTOWEL towels and GrizzlyGRIT Power Scrub Hand Cleaner. GrizzlyGRIT is a water activated pumice and perlite formula that is ultra concentrated and allergy free.
A full line gives you one name to ask your parts supplier for. At the parts counter, it lets you stock and recommend the glove, the towel, and the cleaner together.
Where a Specialty Glove Vendor Has the Edge
Some glove vendors carry thousands of styles, including specialty gloves for gardening, home improvement, and recreation. GROWL does not match that range. GROWL focuses on the gloves a truck shop uses every day, along with the cleanup that follows.
Match the Line to the Work
Before you choose a supplier, ask three questions:
Does the line cover wet and oily work as well as dry handling?
Does it include cut resistant, leather, and welding gloves?
Does the same line include wipes and hand cleaner?
Choose a supplier by the whole workday, including the cleanup. Ask your parts supplier about the full GROWL line, or see it all at growlproducts.com.
