Grepp och komfort testades av professionella biltekniker

Hur stor skillnad gör rätt skyddshandskar och skyddsskor i det dagliga arbetet? För att ta reda på det följde vi på Ejendals med under en arbetsdag hos Mora Motorcenter, där tekniker testade TEGERA skyddshandskar och JALAS skyddsskor. Det blev snabbt tydligt hur mycket grepp, passform och komfort påverkar både arbetskänsla och fysisk belastning.

TEGERA 8850 – säkert grepp även när arbetet inte är oljigt

När vi träffar Robert Smedberg, tekniker med över 15 års erfarenhet i yrket, utför han service på en bensindriven bil. Under arbetet bär han TEGERA 8850 från TEGERA Oil Grip-kollektionen.

Arbetet innebär inga särskilt oljiga moment, vilket gör testet extra intressant. Det belyser tydligt att Oil Grip-kollektionen inte är begränsad till oljiga miljöer, utan fungerar lika bra i arbetsmoment där stabilt grepp, kontroll och precision är avgörande.

"Handsken är skön och smidig. Den känns luftig och andas bättre än de handskar jag använt tidigare", berättar Robert.

Vid första anblick kan handskarna se relativt lika ut jämfört med andra märken, men skillnaden märks snabbt i användning.

"TEGERA 8850 känns lite robustare när man tar på dem, utan att vara tjocka. De är sköna och smidiga och det går lätt att arbeta även vid moment som kräver precision."

Lätta skyddsskor för rörlighet och komfort – JALAS Tempus
Robert testar även JALAS Tempus 5668, en lätt skyddssko med fokus på rörlighet och komfort. Han beskriver dem som bekväma, följsamma och med mycket bra passform, särskilt lämpade för arbete inomhus.

Vid besöket är det fortfarande snö ute, och Robert upplever att skorna kan kännas hala när man får snö under dem. Det stämmer väl med skons egenskaper – JALAS Tempus har mycket bra grepp på våta ytor, som exempelvis verkstadsgolv, men sulan är inte anpassad för snö och is.

Individuell passform är avgörande

Vi träffar även Patric Jennetoft, Master Tekniker som arbetat på Mora Motorcenter sedan 2017. Även han har testat JALAS Tempus, modell 5725.
 
Patric upplever skon som mycket lätt och skön och lyfter särskilt fram ventilationen.
"Fötterna får inte den där instängda, svettiga känslan som man kan få i tätare och sämre ventilerande skor, säger han"

JALAS Tempus har en något smalare läst och är en skyddsko som passar både män och kvinnor. För Patric fungerar den bra – men han märker också hur stor skillnad passform kan göra beroende på modell.

JALAS Exalter – Stability and Support You Can Feel

Patric also tests JALAS Exalter 9995, a safety shoe with a slightly wider fit and a more stable upper compared to the sneaker-inspired Tempus model.
“The sturdier upper of the Exalter model makes the shoe feel more stable on my feet,” he explains.

The contrast between the models is clear. Different feet require different levels of support, width and stability – and the right fit makes a noticeable difference, something Patric clearly experiences when trying them on.

Safety Gloves That Reduce Hand Strain

Patric has also tested TEGERA 8855. While quickly and smoothly replacing spark plugs, we talk about the importance of wearing protective gloves in everyday work.

“Working a full day without gloves is unthinkable. My hands would be full of small cuts and extremely dry from all the washing.”

He also highlights how the right safety gloves affect physical strain.

“Gloves like the 8855 provide better grip, so I don’t need to apply as much force. That makes a big difference –my hands are much less tired by the end of the day.”

Mora Motorcenter – An Employer Focused on Safety and Expertise

The visit took place at Mora Motorcenter, which works with car sales, servicing and body repair, and also operates a separate workshop for leisure vehicles such as motorcycles, ATVs and snowmobiles. They are an authorised Kia dealer and service workshop in northern Dalarna.

Safety is a natural part of everyday work, particularly when working with electric vehicles, where multiple training courses and certifications are required before technicians are permitted to work on the vehicles.

The same strong focus on safety applies in the leisure vehicle workshop. Here, technicians tested TEGERA 8855 safety gloves and JALAS Exalter safety footwear, and the feedback was equally positive. The combination of reliable grip, durability and stable support was well suited to the varied and physically demanding tasks involved in servicing leisure vehicles.

When the Right PPE Makes a Real Difference at Work

The test clearly demonstrates how versatile PPE from Ejendals performs in real working conditions. Across both workshops, TEGERA safety gloves and JALAS safety footwear contributed to improved grip, comfort and reduced physical strain – whether the work was oily or dry, and regardless of the working environment.

When personal protective equipment is adapted to both the individual and the task, it becomes a natural part of the working day – and makes a genuine difference over time.
