Richard Jov Tool Glove Clips Review: A Simple Fix for Glove Clutter

Introduction

Gloves have a way of multiplying quietly. They end up in toolboxes, range bags, cars, and toolkits, and before long you are digging through a pile of singles trying to figure out which ones actually match. The Richard Jov (Jov) Tool Glove Clips are a straightforward answer to that problem: small plastic clips designed to keep a pair of gloves secured to a bag, hook, or shelf, so they stay together and stay where you left them.

A six-piece set costs a little over eight dollars, which makes it an easy, low-risk purchase. The green color even matches other green tools nicely, if that is the sort of thing you care about.

Who These Clips Are For

Anyone who owns more pairs of work gloves than they can keep track of. If gloves live in the car, in tool kits, in tool boxes, and next to jacks around the property, these clips let you clip each pair together and hang the pair where it belongs. That also means fewer gloves wandering off and fewer surprises like a dog relocating a single glove to parts unknown.

Cold weather gloves and ski gloves probably will not benefit much here, since the clips are clearly aimed at everyday work gloves with cuffs or edges you can grab.

Main Strengths

The first thing worth noting is the build. The plastic feels stout, which matters because the most common complaint with cheaper glove clips involves flimsy carabiner-style designs that fail early. The hardware itself is nothing special, and it does not need to be. The clip is the part doing the real work, and it holds gloves tightly enough that you do not have to worry about them sliding off the outside of a tool bag.

The clamping pressure strikes a sensible balance. The teeth are firm but not brutally tight, which is a genuine design advantage. With gloves that have large pull loops, a clip can lock on so securely that yanking the glove free risks tearing the fabric or breaking the clip itself. With these, there is a useful middle ground: clipped onto a thin edge or seam, the glove pops free easily, which is exactly what you want when your hands are oily, cold, or otherwise fumbling mid-task.

Clip onto a large loop and the hold gets much tighter, so you can choose the security level per pair. On some heavy-duty gloves, grabbing near the cuff edge allows a clean release, while grabbing the same glove elsewhere could rip the material before the clip lets go.

Things to Consider Before Buying

A few honest caveats are worth weighing before ordering.

Long-term durability is still a bit of an unknown. They have held up well so far, and unless they are left out in constant UV or subzero conditions, they seem unlikely to break easily. But they have not been in service for years, so treat them as a proven-short-term solution rather than a lifetime tool.

You also get more hardware than clips per purchase. Some buyers would prefer a set that skips the included carabiner-style hardware entirely and simply offers more clip pieces for the money. The hardware is usable, but a smooth-gated carabiner you already own often works better, because hook-edged carabiners tend to snag on glove fabric when you try to unclip.

That snagging issue is the main reason to prefer this clip-and-slide design over a hooked carabiner. With a smooth clip, the glove slides right out. With a full climbing-rated carabiner, the hooked edge catches on fabric every time you try to free it, and each one of those costs six to eight dollars on its own.

Finally, some gloves simply have no place to hook anything. If your gloves lack loops, edges, or seams you can grab, a clip-style solution will not work, and you need a pure clip product like this one anyway.

Buying Advice

If your glove situation has drifted into chaos, start with a small set rather than a bulk pack. The six-piece set is inexpensive enough to treat as a trial run, and larger sets are available if the clips prove themselves in your setup.

Clip each pair through a cuff edge for easy release, or through a big loop if you want maximum security and do not mind working a little harder to pull the gloves free. Avoid leaving them outdoors year-round if you want the plastic to last.

Conclusion

The Richard Jov Tool Glove Clips do one small job well: keeping glove pairs together and attached where they should be. At a little over eight dollars for six, they are an easy recommendation for anyone tired of hunting down missing work gloves, with the only real caveats being unproven long-term durability and some surplus hardware you may not need.
