We wouldn’t use any other gloves! Amazing protection, especially against fuel and brake fluid etc.

Mechanics! 💪🙏

We're talking with the UK supply chain right now.

These are the gloves that first became popular with auto mechanics in the US.

Where do you buy your gloves?

Does your Motor Factors store supply the original Black Mamba gloves?

Driving in heavy rain and flooding can be hazardous.

Firstly it is always advisable to consider before you set off whether your journey is essential. If not, can it be delayed until after the rain has subsided?

If so then plan your journey in advance, taking care to avoid areas which are prone to flooding and factor in extra time to allow for slower speeds and potential congestion.

Do not walk or drive through flood water. Flood water may contain sewage and hide rubbish, wreckage, uneven roads and pavements or broken drain and manhole covers.

Be mindful that driving through flood water can negatively impact neighbouring properties.

Don’t remove road closure signs. The signs are there for your safety.

If you're planning a journey, be aware of standing water and possible flooding. Stay safe with this advice on driving in severe weather. For advice follow: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/seasonal-advice/travel/driving-in-severe-weather
