Nitrile gloves and vinyl gloves

Our black nitrile gloves come in generous boxes of 100, so there's always a fresh pair ready the moment a job gets messy. Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic rubber, which is exactly why they’ve become such a popular latex-free choice for general tasks. Prefer something lighter? Our vinyl gloves are comfier for quick jobs and light cleaning. Either way, they're handy protective gloves worth keeping close by.

Disposable gloves and hand protection

Disposable gloves are one of those things you don't think about until you need them, then you're glad there's a box in the cupboard. Our boxes work as disposable work gloves for the garage, garden or workshop, and double up as everyday hand protection for cleaning and DIY clear-ups. Pop a pair on, finish the job and bin them, simple as that.

PPE equipment for work and DIY

Good PPE equipment looks after the bits of you doing most of the work. Our knee pads use EVA foam padding to take the edge off hard floors, which is a proper lifesaver for tiling, decking and garden jobs. Together with gloves, they're a simple, no-fuss kit of protective equipment for work and DIY, pairing well with our DIY Tools and Tools & Supplies ranges.

Nitrile Gloves, Knee Pads & PPE FAQs

What's the difference between nitrile and vinyl gloves?

Nitrile is made from synthetic rubber, so it's naturally more flexible and stands up well to punctures, making it the better pick for tougher, messier jobs. Vinyl is lighter and more affordable but fits a bit looser, so it's best kept for quick, lighter tasks. Still not sure which to grab? Nitrile is generally the safer all-rounder.

What PPE do I need for DIY jobs around the home?

It depends on the task, but two of the most common risks are easy enough to cover: catching a hand on a tool or spending too long kneeling on a hard floor. Disposable gloves protect against mess and mild irritants, while padded knee pads make flooring or tiling jobs a lot more bearable.

How do I choose the right knee pads for flooring or DIY work?

It comes down to how long you'll actually be down on your knees and what you're kneeling on. Foam padding like that in Haltons' EVA foam knee pads suits shorter jobs on hard flooring, giving the knee some cushioning without feeling bulky. For all-day trade work, firmer gel or plastic-shelled pads tend to last better.

Are disposable gloves reusable or single use only?

Disposable gloves such as nitrile and vinyl are designed for single use only, so once they're torn, dirty or taken off, that's them done. Reusing them risks tears you might not even spot, which weakens the barrier protection they're there to provide, so it's worth keeping a full box handy for regular jobs.
