I buy cheap ones find I go thru them quickly but I used to use a black nitrile that was chemical resistant from a local safety place I beleive that it is all in the thickness... Never used harbor freight as they don't exist around here.

just got a box of the HF black heavy duty ones, they sure look and feel a lot tougher than the regular blue ones...
to be honest, I havent used any yet till i use up the last of the blue ones i already had.

The HF black ones are definitely stronger than the blue ones.

HF has light blue, which tear easily, dark blue, which are pretty nice, and they have black with are their thickest. I personally use the dark blue and ususally get several wears out of them before tossing them.

Depends on what I'm doing.The HF gloves are a pretty good deal. I use the blue nitrile ones (medium duty) mostly on lighter stuff painting general household stuff and the black ones if I'm doing brakes or something tougher on the gloves. The black ones are kind of stiff tho

I use nilrite dipped gloves that are nilrite on the front and cloth on the back. They cost less than $5 for a 3 pack at Princess Auto. The lighter duty ones that come in boxes of 50 or so are designed for 1 wearing whereas the above type keep going until the cloth backs wear out. The dipped gloves don't sweat and are a nice tight fit. They are also cheaper in the long run.

These are the best I have found. I get them from Napa
It seems like ALL the nitrile and latex gloves fail after cleaning anything with brake cleaner .. still looking for a glove than can stand up to brake cleaner.

Yep. These are the best by far. I go through a box in about two weeks. They generally only start tearing if ive been wearing them for a couple hours working in greasy areas, or if they get fuel on them. But for $14/box, just slip some new ones on and keep wrenchin.

I keep 3 different kinds in my box just for the reason of eliminating breakage and frustration.
Microflex Diamond Grip for light work like oil changes
Microflex Midknight for general work like water pumps
Microflex Safegrip for heavy work like ball joints. I can make it a whole day on 2 pairs of these most of the time.
I keep all three to help cut down on the cost of wasting the wrong glove on the wrong type of job. The stronger they are, the more expensive they get!
Additionally, I get six months home use out of a pair of mechanixs work gloves. I use them for suspension and fab work, and plan on them getting wasted. If you know you are just going to be doing tire and suspension work, skip the nitrile and go right for the work gloves.

I been getting mine from the beauty supply store my GF shops at, use her discount which makes em cheap enough that she pays for them so I don't even know how cheap they are!
Figure if they good for a beauty salon, should be decent for my garage. Gonna talk to my tattoo artist, and see what she uses, that's a health issue for them to have to wear them so what else could be better?

I have been through about every disposable glove I can buy (I use 3-6 pairs per day). Best I have found by far is the black nitrile Venom brand sold at Lowes. They are not always next to the other gloves but are In the paint area. They are significantly thicker than any I've used and tear resistant.
I've used tbe hf gloves a lot. They work, and well at that. Just get the graded nitrils you need for the job.
But lately, I've been buying the "Monster" brand death grip gloves. $14 a pair, and work good, so keep getting them.

If you're doing drivetrain work...forget the disposable stuff.
For everything else (within reason) (though I don't use them) are nitrile grip coated gloves (I think it's nitrile, not sure about the actual gloves I think they're lycra). Home depot has them for 1.80 a pair (clearance) use them for a ton of stuff. Otherwise just use "mechanics grade" gloves; the hf gloves (western safety (?)) aren't so hot material wise but they're at least fairly durable. Don't need to spend a fortune on gloves to get a good pair just try them on before buying them to see if they're too bulky.
My "go to" gloves are valeo goat skin utility gloves, bought a bunch of them (on deadstock clearance) and they're f-awesome. Not sure where to get them besides ebay. I don't like all the wing wangs and snake oil padding on those mechanix gloves, I'm not iron man I don't need "bulletproof" deflectors on a pair of gloves and their simple gloves are a bit too pricey for chinese made (last time I checked).

The rubber dipped have become my go-to. I usually kill them by not putting on better glove before I grab the grinder or start welding in them.
If I am going to do a quick & dirty - Costco Gray Nitrile.
A fiberglass layup that will take an hour or more I go to the HF black gloves - nothing stands up to the polyester resin and acetone long term that I have found and have the dexterity that I want but the HF black do last long enough that you get good value.
