CLC provides retailers with the first line of high performance gloves and soft-sided storage accessories for incremental impulse sales.

The hardware company introduces a line engineered specifically for the automotive aftermarket, CLC Pit Crew high performance gloves and soft-sided accessories.

“Our collection of performance gloves and accessories is engineered for mechanics of all kinds, whether they work in the pits full time or in the garage on weekends,” said Dennis Helmstetter, CLC vice president of sales. “CLC Pit Crew delivers the highest level of quality and protection, with a wide range of styles and options, and a price-point for every customer.”

CLC Pit Crew introduces the new brand with a complete line of work gloves, storage solutions, and accessories for the automotive technician or the do-it-yourselfer. “The challenge was combining high performance gloves with soft-sided accessories in one single collection,” said Helmstetter. “With CLC Pit Crew, we offer the retailer a single comprehensive line of performance mechanics gear.”

CLC Pit Crew gloves feature proprietary Gel Tech Padding to absorb impact; synthetic leather and stretch spandex, designed to be durable, comfortable, breathable and washable; double-stitching for long wear at stress points; thermo plastic rubber “TPR” shock-absorbing pads for maximum finger protection; custom-fit neoprene cuff and wing-closing wrist strap to keep out unwanted debris with perfect fit and easy adjustment.

Engineered to withstand the needs of a demanding mechanic, they feature heavy-duty stitching and bar tacking at all stress points; padded reinforced web carrying handles; and durable metal components and hardware. Innovative pocket designs keep tools and accessories at your fingertips. Kneepads feature thick molded foam and quality straps and fasteners for maximum comfort and protection.

CLC Pit Crew has carefully designed a product presentation to appeal to consumers and retailers alike. Eye-catching packaging that “pops” will get attention, and appeal to customers looking for value and quality.

“We’ve designed exciting new point-of-purchase displays that get attention, and we offer them in a range of sizes to fit any retail environment,” said Helmstetter. “Our two-sided floor display holds a full selection of gloves and accessories, making it a true ‘one-stop shop’ for impulse purchases. This is not just another new line of mechanics-style gloves. With CLC Pit Crew, we’ve taken our 25 years of expertise in the hardware industry and built it into an outstanding new line of performance mechanics gear.”
