Question for your oilers out there.
Journeyman here just made the switch from the dirt side to cranes. Got my first job as an oiler back in March. I've been looking for some good long lasting work pants or coveralls. On the dirt side as an operator I never had to do much of my own greasing and what not because we had an oiler come out every morning to fuel and grease all the equipment before we started. I want to get other oilers opinions on work pants. Since I am the one doing that now my pants are covered in oil and grease all day pretty much from the minute I start work. My work does not provide coveralls or anything along those lines. Just want to know what works best for you. I am up and down the crane all day, something that would protect the knees.
Best regards,
Local 701 Brother.
