Any Nitrile gloves that don't ****?

[SouthernIllinois]

Has anyone found any general purpose, disposable nitrile gloves that don't ****?

I have tried SAS Astro-Grip, Venom and Hardy and they all either fit weird or tear too easily.

Looking for something for stuff like oil changes, painting, bodywork, etc...

TIA

I merely use the 5 mim ones from HF.. I understand the deficits and just deal with it.

You could always wear a pair of regular nitrile gloves and a pair of nitrile coated knit gloves over top for those certain jobs.

The black 9mil from HF are my favorites, by a lot.

I use the 5mil from HF for most things. I always have a box of the HF 7mil for heavier duty use.

I get Gloveworks from the jungle.

Grease Monkey gloves (8mil, black) are what we use at work.

They are a tight fit - I recommend going up one size.

 

[j3rf]

I like the Microflex Midknight ones or the ones with the bumps for grip. Can't remember the OG brand though. Work provides Black Mamba brand and they're pretty good. Significantly better than the previous brand which was way too thin and tore super easily.

 

[BillK]

I hate wearing them and usually dont but I do have a box of black ones from Harbor Freight and they work fine when I need them.

 

[Rc_Guy]

I have been using these for about 7 years now and I like them.

 

[Burt Shaver]

Grease monkey, I can use a pair until the job is done. They won’t tear,

What is it that ***** about the ones you've used? I use mostly 5 and 7 mil hardy gloves. They work fine. But if you think they **** because your hands get sweaty in them, they will all ****

Another 5 mil Hardy vote. I prefer them over thicker gloves for dexterity. I don't try to reuse them. They cost about 6 cents apiece when I buy them on sale, so not worth the hassle of trying to dry them out or put them back on wet.

Besides the garage, wear them whenever cleaning fish so wanted some textured style last time ordering. Came across these 8mil. Every bit, if not better, than Hardy. Half price of Hardy's regular price. XXL are exactly that, well sized.

These are the best that I have found. Occasionally cut them when cleaning out gutters. You could go heavier with 8mil if you need more.

I’ve had good enough luck with the Venom Steel.

The HF gloves are both too stiff when thick and yet fragile. How they manage to be both less comfortable and more fragile than the Venom steel is impressive when they are thicker.

I have primarily used the Venom brand and no issues, but I do go between the black, orange and blue ones (thinnest to thickest, if I recall the order) depending on what I'm doing. I do wish the black ones were a few mil thicker, because I don't always want to have the texture they apply to the orange ones for extra grip (sometimes it's too much grip).

The 5 mil Harbor Freight used to be the fashizzle but they must have changed suppliers to the manufacturers of everyone elses around four years ago. I wear XL, now they feel like mediums, very hard to get on and they rip like crazy. In the old days I'd use them everyday with very few issues, now they're just like all the other crappy gloves out there, undersized and flimsey.

 

[paulsomlo]

Black Lightning - mediums fit me, but I have very small hands; larger hands are going to need lg/xl. My local Carquest also carries these.

[Torque&Recoil]

Thicker seems to be better. Avoid the cheap ones - seems obvious, but whenever I cheaped out, the gloves were sh**.

 

[mikedodge]

I buy whatever is on sale or cheap price, I've never had issues with them tearing super fast, when they they do I tear them off put new ones on and keep going.

 

[djbmw]

Medicom Vulcan General-Purpose Nitrile Gloves  from Costco are what I swear by. They hold up very well and are innexpensive.

 

[Daedalus]

I have been using these for about 7 years now and I like them.

I've tried most of the ones mentioned in this thread, and those are among the best. I think the Venom Steel gloves sold at the Costco business center are also really good (the only gloves I've used that have different colors inside and out, white and black). Can't go wrong with either. Both are the only gloves I've tried that have a chance of lasting hours while in the garage wrenching.

Besides the garage, wear them whenever cleaning fish so wanted some textured style last time ordering. Came across these 8mil. Every bit, if not better, than Hardy. Half price of Hardy's regular price. XXL are exactly that, well sized.

Those look pretty good too at 8 mils.

“Fit weird and tear too easily”

 

[SouthernIllinois]

I appreciate the input guys. I will give these recommendations a whirl.

I am missing 1/2” of a finger tip on my left hand and the little finger on my right hand is very crooked (catchers interference a long time ago…) which contributes to the fitment problems.

Black Mamba Brand
7 mil Black part # BLK
8 mil Orange with Torque Grips part # OTG
Great fitting and durable

 

[MushCreek]

I found that I was buying gloves that are too big. I like them tight, and I dust my hands with corn starch to make them easy to put on. I just buy HF 7 mil.

 

[Yankeefarmer]

I’m currently using the Home Depot ones that are black outside, orange in. Sufficiently satisfied that I feel no need to find an alternative.

 

[Skyman]

I've been using these for a few years. They are more durable than others I've tried. I can often use them for many days before tearing one. I like orange so that I know what I can touch without smearing grease on something else accidentally. Textured for grip.

A little SG on a paper towel cleans them up pretty well mid-job or for re-use later.

I peel them off inside-out, wipe dry their insides most of the way with a paper towel, and hang them up to finish drying. I turn them right-side out, blow air into them to fully restore their shape, and slip them back on over dry hands with no trouble.

I almost never wear any gloves. I do not like the feel of them when trying to do automotive work & handle small pieces.

Total agreement on the HF gloves. I had an old pre-covid pair size large and they're bigger than the new XL.
I used these from Amazon for a few years pretty strong. I can usually get several uses out of a pair of 9mil's.

The key is to use nitrile only when the job is right for them, and even then accept the fact that you're going to go thru a few pairs in the course of the job. Those super thick ones hold up but kill your dexterity, which is the whole point, so you might as well put a regular pair of gloves on. I used to pony up to Venom, but the same principle applies, especially if you're working on cars, they're going to break. So I just buy the Costco blue nitrile gloves and they work perfect for me and are vastly cheaper.

 

[Notgrownup]

4 mil are normally what we import and sell for medical grade. I use them in my shop because I get them free but sometimes I order Chemo rated 9 mil but as the last longer they are also hotter.. 5or6 mil is a sweet spot.

 

[welder4956]

I have been using Nickelbacks for a couple of years and they work great for me. Easy to get on and off, and no problem with sweating. I usually get multiple uses out of them instead of throwing them away after each use due to tearing and sweat.

[BORING HOP YARD]

I agree with "djbmw" I first started using them after I purchased them from Costco but now, I get them from amazon, Costco became a hit and miss.

These are by far the best ones I've tried. No sweaty hands so they go on and off easy, and as stated can be used a couple times. Also super strong, I very seldom damage one. You can often get them on sale directly from the mfg cheaper than amazon. I just took off a pair used while changing a AC clutch on my truck, still in good shape so I will probably use them again later on another dirty job.

 

[CJM8515]

At least 15 years of using the sams club members mark, never really had an issue. they break or get damaged i toss and put a new set on

 

[MovingAlong]

It's just 5-7 mil of nitrile rubber. Not a lot you're going to do to toughen them up.

I'm six ft, about 270 lbs and wear a 3X motorcycle helmet. My hands are not tiny - yet I choose the Medium Vulcan's from Costco and get excellent service from them.

These aren't winter ski gloves, they're not leather work gloves, nitrile gloves should fit "skin tight". Use corn starch, accept that it may take more than one pair per job and get back to work.

 

[Hohn]

I’ve had good enough luck with the Venom Steel.

The HF gloves are both too stiff when thick and yet fragile. How they manage to be both less comfortable and more fragile than the Venom steel is impressive when they are thicker.

I should clarify, this was the black 8 mil HF gloves. Not a fan.

But the orange textured Hardys seem to be another story. I’ve had better luck with them. More comfortable and a bit more durable. Still IMO inferior to better stuff, but good enough for me.

You know, I think a fingerless nitrile would actually be useful. Nitrile is IMO mostly about splashes of hot fluids or staining fluids like paint.

When I’m wrenching, I want dexterity and nitrile gloves almost always fail at the fingertips first because that’s where a sharp edge or something is.

A fingerless nitrile underneath a Terminator-style mesh might be super handy sometimes.
