cheap and good nitrile gloves

[Miss the Pontiacs]

I have never used the nitrile gloves. Generally use mechanics gloves or for light messy work, chemicals have used surgical gloves sparingly. At the lake I was in a pinch and used a pair of my wife’s gardening gloves. Tight fit but they would stretch. She buys them in quantity at Costco. Besides the bright orange ones match my overalls and my coveralls.

Are the Grease Monkey brand any good? Princess Auto has a sale starting February 6.
4 varieties starting at $14.99 for a 50 pack. Regular $16.99 to $21.99.

I have these dark blue nitrile gloves. Really tough. But I can't for the life of me remember where I got them or what brand they are. Box is long gone, and I'm now down to my last couple of pairs.

Lo and behold I found the old box with about half the gloves still in it! Harbor Freight 2-ply (inner latex/outer nitrile) #44946.

Date code is from 2005, and it seems that part number is NLA. But shows how great they are - a box of 100 is only half empty after 13 years!

Try Costco?

My experience has been that the Costco gloves are cheap but not good.

I like the HF 5 mil nitrile gloves in a 100 count box that are light blue. They are $7.99, though I wait for a $5.99 coupon and buy a bunch of boxes at a time. I have found them durable for most things that I do, brakes, bearings, glue ups, paint, stain, varnish, spray foam, etc.

This is what I use. They work pretty well for the money paid. They’re cheap enough that I don’t mind changing them out during a job. I’m just a DIYer, not a pro.

The only ones I’ve cared for is midnight nirtle

I've tried a few brands with variable level of success until a friend recently turned me onto these from Amazon. Not what I'll call cheap (initially), but I can usually wear the same pair an entire day without tearing them, which I couldn't do before. I'd highly recommend them.

AMMEX Gloveworks 100 count $14.56

I haven't bought any of the new black nitrile gloves from HF, but I doubt I will unless there is a super coupon for them for $4.

I buy the Dynarex from Amazon for $9/box of 100.

Harbor Freight sells a box of 50 for $8-9.

The blue ones at HF have improved in the last year or so, IMO. I know they used to be very hit or miss, even in the same box as far as tearing but the last box I have been in seems better.

The Dynarex gloves are only 4 mil thick and sell for $8.95 for 100.

The HF gloves are 5 mil thick and sell for $7.99 for 100.

If you watch you can get the HF gloves for $6 a 100. Better deal all around.

I found the best value are the Spyder gloves, not the lowest cost but they last and are harder to tear.

not bad for $10 per 100: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TOPGRIP-He...var=521331188345&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

I use the HF 5 mil blue gloves. Good enough for home diy stuff. Doing motorcycle carbs with them now. Changed front wheel bearings on my rider mower with them yesterday.

Diamond Grip. 6.3 mil
Gloveworks orange or green. 8mil.

Either or for me. Of the two I do prefer the Gloveworks.

Both are stronger / last longer than HF's 9mil gloves, and at $10-$15 per 100 typically cheaper too. HF's normal price for their 9mil is $12 for 50 so even with a coupon the Diamond grips or Gloveworks are cheaper.

The main reason I prefer these is the textured grip. Makes getting work done so much easier than non-textured like HFs which are just slippery.

Diamond Grip. 6.3 mil
Gloveworks orange or green. 8mil...

Yes I know this is an old thread - but I figure it’s better than starting a new one.

I tried these gloveworks orange, and I’m super impressed.
Bar none my favorite nitrile gloves!
These are tough, they last and the texture really helps.
I’ve been cleaning parts in kerosene and these protect me while I still can hold on with no parts slipping out of my hands.

HF blue 5mil. $5.99 coupon makes them 6 cents a glove. I buy 10+ boxes of so at a time when I have a coupon. I looked at other makes/options a few years ago. I had to buy at least 1000 gloves in bulk to even be near the HF price. Until I hit 5000+ in a single order, nothing was cheaper than HF.

When you go to doctors office as soon as Nurse steps out and waiting for the doctor to show up load up on the good medical ones.

In all seriousness I just buy the Harbor freight ones they work good and are reasonably priced.

Good to know, I clean parts in Kerosene too. I just bought some Mechanix Wear 8mil Yellow that look very similar and have a $5 AMZN coupon going on. Looking forward to see how they hold up.
