Gloves for screwing on the motorcycle
The motorcyclist’s hand is also at risk if the truck comes to a standstill as an exception. 22 pairs of screw guards in theory and practice.

One of the more pleasant aspects of getting older is the gain in knowledge, which belongs to the rubric “Becoming wise out of harm”. While the screwing youngster usually goes to work with his bare hand, the do-it-yourself graybeard often only reaches for a tool when his fingers are in protective covers. A sensible decision, because the 27 bones of a hand, which are surrounded by lots of tendons, muscles and nerves, are part of an ingenious, but also very sensitive construction, the damage of which can not only spoil us when riding a motorcycle. Some employees employed in dependent work tend to use the finger cots made available by their bread maker at work in the home as well. This may not be entirely legal, but on the one hand it saves costs and on the other hand it is also in the employer’s interest because the risk of injury is reduced. Those who can use this procurement method are usually not interested in the type and design of their hand protection – the stuff is there and costs nothing.

But there are also contemporaries who are in the unfortunate position of actually having to buy their leisure work gloves themselves. And these people stand in front of the glove rack in the well-stocked hardware store like an ox in front of a mountain, namely helpless. How practical it is that there are standards for everything and everyone, including protective gloves. Most of the dangers when tinkering with a motorcycle come from the mechanical side, so the informed customer first looks for the logo “Hammer falls on plate” (see bottom left on this page) and there is a high probability that he has caught a product that does has been tested in accordance with the EN 388 standard and even belongs to the second of the three hazard categories, i.e. it reduces “medium risks”. The four-digit code then tells him how well the product performed in four test points. Whether the glove is also suitable for screwing on a motorcycle can only be seen very indirectly. If any.

The final score.
So back to the hardware store shelf and first make a fundamental decision. The question is: crunchy and tight or loose and airy? Those who prefer the first-mentioned property will usually recommend largely seamless copies made of, for example, coated polyamide with elastic cuffs, which at first seem suspiciously like mum’s rubber gloves. Please don’t be fooled: once the manufacturer has done its homework, such specimens are surprisingly “breathable” and abrasion-resistant, and they also allow fiddly work thanks to an extremely direct feel. If you prefer something a little less condom-like, you usually end up with a mix of materials, the main component of which is often artificial leather. With a lot of upholstery, reinforcements and duplications, some providers make such models look extremely important, but that usually says nothing about their actual functionality.
In order to find out whether the test field bought together by MOTORRAD looks good from an ergonomic point of view, the testers teamed up with a proven hand specialist: Sabine Haas-Schinzel, who works as a hand therapist in the “Danube Practice Hand-in-Hand” in Ulm “And is one of the very few occupational therapists who have specialized in the topic in Germany through very extensive training measures and a final certification by the DAHTH (German Working Group for Hand Therapy eV). It is extremely practical that Sabine spends a lot of kilometers in her free time on a BMW 1100 GS and a KTM 350 EXC-F – the woman knows exactly what she is talking about.
But she was also surprised by the incredible range of workshop gloves on offer. And this impression was also confirmed in the final practical tests in the MOTORRAD workshop. However, since the acquisition costs are usually very manageable, there is nothing to prevent buying more than one pair. In this way, the very personal test winner can be found out conveniently at home.
Conclusion
The most expensive glove doesn’t win, and the cheapest offer doesn’t come last. There are only two points between the first and second place, but a difference of almost 16 euros. The model on the third podium is another two euros cheaper. Is it all very confusing? That’s right, but if you carefully study the individual data boxes and pay attention to the material and the performance levels in addition to the bare judgment, you can definitely pick out your own personal test winner. There is no such thing as THAT workshop glove flyer. If you don’t like the “rubber glove feeling” at all, you won’t be able to do anything with half of the models rated “very good”. The lovers of classic leather grabs may only be happy with the eighth place. Something fundamental can be said, however: the price does not reveal anything about the quality at first – at least not in this test.
