I just have a extra pair of basic leather gloves that I only use the grease my fifth wheel
I got long arms and have never felt the need for a fifth wheel puller so don't have one to clean... May change when I get older only 28
Work gloves that won't absorb 5th wheel grease?

I haul fuel. We have these .. what are they, polyurethane gloves or something like that . Designed specifically to withstand petroleum products. They're essentially waterproofed where the blue coating is. Google it, that's the best you're gonna get I'm sure.
Dark_Majesty_06 Thanks this. -
How are you getting grease on the fifth wheel handle?

Easiest thing is to just get a fifth wheel puller. You can pick them up pretty cheap at the truck stops. I think I pai about 20 for mine.
I use leather palmed gloves with the puller and they stay pretty clean from the grease.Dark_Majesty_06 Thanks this. -
I have a pulled but didn't put it in a wise position. I put it in those holes back on the cat walk. So it's greasy as all get out.
I actually bought a cow hide set of gloves from Menards and they were working great.. until I lost them. Go figure. I think I'm just going to degrease my puller and keep it in the truck along with a rag to keep the grease off it.
Thanks for all the input.. some of the gloves y'all showed me were pretty awesome! -
Because my bosses dad comes around every morning and greases the piss outta our 5th wheels.. I mean he lathers that crap on. It then drips over on my handle.. the frame.. my air bags.
Who I am to tell the ole man what to do. Isn't my truck or company. So I just deal with it. I used to scrape it off on a daily basis but after a year.. I got tired of doing it and just let it sit where it lays.tucker Thanks this. -
Tell him it's dangerous.... Cause well you grease it that much bound to get on brakes... Unless your exaggerating

This is exactly what i was thinking.Lepton1 Thanks this.
