Rubber/Nitrile Gloves

[e-tek]

I used to use standard "surgical" type latex gloves in the shop, then I got a box of Gorilla Gloves to try and can't believe the difference! These are 8 mil, so much thicker than the latex gloves I've been using, but they are nearly as forgiving dexterity wise, while lasting a week each, instead of hours in some cases.

What are you guys using?

Latex gloves make my hands itch and burn.i have found dark night( I think,but don't remember) and the black snap on nitrile gloves work the best for me.

9 mil nitrile from Harbor Freight. They are tough and mostly chemical resistant. Lacquer thinner will take them out, but they resist much longer than latex.

We're trialling the 6 mil SAS Ravens right now. So far so good. Around $13/100 of Amazon.

Just switched from 8mil napa brand to 8mil gorilla's. The gorillas are harder to get on, but they fit my hands better. And I like the longer cuffs on them too.

For quick jobs I use HF latex gloves. For longer projects I use HF blue nitrile. I reuse them if they hold up, but have no problem throwing them out if they don't. They're supposed to be disposable, so I have no problem burning through them if I have to. They're cheap enough.

I've used prob. every brand. The 7mil and up are great, but i cant feel anything, so i realy wont use them.
Hf 5mils work, but just not as tough as i would like.
Lately i've been useing the Monster Mobile brand gloves, the Death Grips. Love them, 3 months of useing this brand so far. And $14 for a box is better than the comperable brands at $20.

I've been using the HF gloves. The blue (7 mil IIRC) for most stuff, and I keep a box of the black ones (9 mil) for the heavy duty stuff. Probably not as good as the Gorillas, but the price is right.

i was just thinking about this earlyer this week..... ive been using the hf 9mil gloves for about 6 months and has anyone else got a "bad batch" i ripped like 3 sets in a row recently and usually i can go all day on 1 pair.

I also use the HF blue nitrile. They do tend to rip, but they're so cheap it doesn't hurt to change them out frequently... Not to mention I have to air my hands out periodically because they get so sweaty inside the gloves.

I've been wanting to switch back to nitrile but these diamond grips are just so good but expensive.

Also using these, never going back to the regular stuff.

HF blue. I also have a set of mechanix that I use on heavy work

TopGrip 7.5mil Nitrile, $9/box of 100gloves (comes as case of 10 boxes for $90).

TopGrip Heavy-Duty Powder Free Nitrile Exam Gloves, 7.5mil

These have been in use in our shop for two years, best nitrile glove we've used to date that is priced under $10/box.

When you start comparing prices among different brands make sure you take into account the qty in the box. Some come in 50, 100, 200 or 250.

I have some Kimberly-Clarks right now and the box is getting low.


EDIT: Just ordered some online to replace what I have. Since I also use these on squad calls, I get what works for for me, dual purpose....garage/EMS.

After trying a bunch of sample packs, I finally settled for the Microflex MidKnight nitrile (5.5mil) gloves. They're comfortable to wear, easy to put on, durable, and still provide a good feel and grip.

Im not a pro but I have been liking the pair of construction gloves with the half thumb and two finger. They give great protection for the rest of your hands while allowing dexterity for the three fingers. Obviously those finger will get dirty but they really help with the scrapes and busted knuckles

Those are called framers gloves. Here are some that are sold on Amazon:

Etek, do you use on chemicals wearing these? I was wondering how they would hold up to brake clean .
Thanks

 

[mrjaw14]

Nothing I've worn, even the hf 9mil stands up to brake cleaner. The thicker the glove the longer it lasts though. I generally get several uses out of the dark blue hf gloves if I'm not using a lot of chemicals.

 

[FOCUS.FREAK]

At work they supply us with gloves. We use Onyx Black Nitrate Gloves. They are nice and don't split or come apart when brake clean is applied. They are not very stretchy. Sometimes i will brake the glove when trying to put them on which *****. Specs are as follows...
