Gloves could be considered one of the most important features for many reasons, but I would argue that keeping your hands safe is definitely up at the top of that list. Gloves provide a protective layer that could protect your hands against a whole range of elements. From the little steel whiskers that stick out of the side of used wire rope, to keeping that nasty axle grease from getting on your hands and later getting on a customers interior.
There are so many reasons to wear gloves in the process of towing cars. Sometimes it's a good idea to have several different types of gloves at the ready for various reasons. There will be situations when a set of latex gloves to protect you from germs that may be on the interior of a biohazard vehicle are needed. Other times a thick set of leather gloves can keep glass and other dangerous objects from cutting your skin. There will even be times when using both will seem like a very good idea! Keeping multiple pairs and styles of gloves on board will serve the operator well over the course of time, especially with having to deal with all sorts of different kinds of towing situations.
