With longer days and milder weather, spring is prime time for tackling home improvement tasks and trade jobs alike. But before firing up the sander or climbing the ladder, it’s essential to ensure you’re properly protected. The right personal protective equipment (PPE) helps prevent injuries, reduces long-term health risks, and makes for a safer, more efficient workspace, whether you're on-site or in your own garage.
At SJTools, we stock a range of PPE essentials to help you stay safe while getting the job done. Here’s a breakdown of the must-haves this season.
From handling rough timber to using vibrating power tools, your hands are exposed to a wide range of risks. Protective gloves are essential for reducing cuts, abrasions, and impact injuries. For heavy-duty work, choose cut-resistant or impact-absorbing gloves.
For finer tasks such as wiring or detailed assembly, opt for lightweight, form-fitting grip gloves that offer dexterity without compromising safety.
We offer a wide range of protective gloves to suit every job and environment. From thermal-lined gloves for cold conditions to latex-coated and nitrile options for superior grip and chemical resistance, we’ve got you covered. Our selection includes waterproof styles, tough rigger gloves for heavy-duty work, and even touchscreen-compatible gloves, so you can stay protected without losing functionality.
Designed for warmth and grip in colder conditions, the Scan Thermal Latex Coated Gloves are a smart choice for outdoor jobs and unheated workspaces. These gloves feature a brushed thermal liner for insulation and all-day comfort, while the textured latex coating provides a secure, slip-resistant grip, even in wet or icy environments.

The smooth lining ensures comfort during extended use, while the long cuff provides added splash resistance, making them ideal for workshops, automotive work, and chemical handling environments.
Eye injuries are among the most common DIY and workplace accidents—and often the most preventable. Any job involving cutting, grinding, drilling, or chemical handling calls for eye protection. Safety goggles with anti-fog coatings and wraparound lenses offer full coverage and visibility, while safety glasses provide a lighter, more breathable alternative for less intense tasks.
At SJ Tools, our range of safety glasses includes high-quality options from trusted brands like Bolle Safety, Hilka, and Sealey.
