Source for disposable gloves

[jimmycrackcorn]

Anyone have a online source for Nitrile gloves, and Cotton Polyester string knit gloves. The woman i used to get them from does not come around. I would like to buy in bulk.

I just get the blue nitriles at HF when they go on sale. they tear rather easily, bt hold up good enough for me. There was another brand that the techs at the local garage really like - available at the local auto parts store. Wish i could remember the brand....

I get the nitrile gloves at Costco. Not really in bulk though.

 

[jimvannoy]

I get them at HF in boxes of 100. I saw them at a Home Depot the other day and I think they were about the same price as HF.

I get mine at Costco Business Center here in Washington State.

Cheapest I've seen is harbor freight when they're on sale at ~$6/box of 100. I think the average guy needs the XL size probably; the L size on me with maybe slihglyt large hands are wayyy to tight. Maybe they do tear a little easily but the price is right. Exact same gloves I have seen for way more elsewhere. I also got some at $6/box from summitracing when they were closing them out last year; slightly easier to rip than the HF actually but still ok.

I was actually thinking about starting up a thread on this since I was going to make an order. I get them through work (pharma co) so I get a decent discount. The ones I get seem to be the best ones I've seen. And when you run out, it ***** since I must go thru 3 or 4 pairs of gloves from PBoys before I find ones that don't explode when I put my big hands in them.

If people are down for a group buy, I could arrange something.

For what to get, take a look at at our supplier here (hope the link works):

Not sure how many different kinds I should get, maybe we can narrow it down to several kinds.

buy them at HD

I keep a couple boxes of XL and L that I get from HF. The large I keep around for the kids to wear since they fit them about right, but for me the XL are needed. They do tear fairly easy, but it is gong to be very bad I have a heavy pair of rubber gloves that I keep for changing the oil. The sports stores used to have some rubber gloves for fishermen that have a good grip on them and seemed to be fairly decent and have a decent price.

 

[Danglerb]

My hands dry and crack really easily, so I keep a variety of gloves around to use, but most of the time is plain old $1 a pair playtex, which last a long time.

 

[cambell]

I'm a tattoo artist and the best place for gloves that i have found is www.med-express.com but i use latex so i dont know how much the nitriles are.

 

[neblinc]

I got the 8 mil gloves on the 2nd page and they outlast the HF gloves 10 to 1 easy.

I don't bother with Nitrile gloves anymore unless I'm doing really fine detail (small tiny screws/etc). And even then I don't bother as the really fine stuff usually isn't that dirty.

I use these

So durable, you can get insulated as well. I find for most jobs I have enough dexterity as well. They are much better than Mechanix type gloves as you can get oil/water/etc on them and they don't get all soggy. Provide lots of grip as well, and last longer than Mechanix gloves for rough surfaces (sandpaper/rough castings/etc).

They are really cheap too! Usually have pairs for ~$4 or so at Princess Auto.

I'm converted!

I usually keep a couple boxes of the HF ones around but I will admit if I am doing something where I want the gloves on I put on the nitrile's and then put my mechanix gloves over tthose helps lessen the tearing .

I use non-powedered ones because after HF gloves I loose skin.

Bought from craigslist first time, then just emailed person in a year and she still had them. Last time $50 for 2 cases (12 packs ea) shipped.

It says "mechanic gloves" on them. Usually when working on cars I go through 3-4 pairs at night.

 

[katit]

I'm running out of gloves.. Those latex ones I used to get - person sold them and don't have anymore. Used to be $25 per case (12 packs of 100) Now I look that you people buy them at $10/pack

BMWPower, what kind of prices do you get with your discount?

 

[porcupine73]

I just bought a couple boxes XL latex , 100/box from HF for 3.99 a box. Also got some nitrile 100/box XL for 5.99 a box. There was just a great article about gloves in chem.info http://www.chem.info/ShowPR~PUBCODE...1~RELTYPE~TOCI~PRODCODE~19125~PRODLETT~A.html

I beleive HF has powdered ones. I can't work in them

All the nitrile gloves from HF are powdered ... I don't like them either; the best nitrile gloves I've ever tried are the VWR Purple Nitriles (no powder) ... they seem to be tear resistant and I can reuse them over and over ...

 

[Danglerb]

Powder can be talcum or corn starch, pick what you like.

I bought a box of plain Nitrile from HF last night on sale, but I was very tempted by the not on sale $13/100 dual layer gloves, latex inside and nitrile outside.

*************** A few thoughts since I am typing

In the morning put a thin coat of vaseline on your hands, old painters trick, puts a layer between your skin and the stuff you want to clean off later.

You get used to any thickness of glove, but if you have to handle small items, maybe just wear ONE thick glove and put something else on the other hand like a latex or nitrile.

I've got half a dozen different kinds of gloves, cheap from the swap meet. Ones I would hate to do without the most are elbow length heavy coated things for the times when I absolutely don't want any of the stuff on me. Second favorites are XL top quality big leather gloves, lined and thick, these are gloves that feel like armor.

After six months I still haven't gotten around to getting my fancy expensive pigskin mechanics gloves dirty. Maybe I will put them in a drawer with my Hazet "Porsche" shop towels.

I'm converted!

I'm also a convert to woven gloves

I can't wear latex gloves. I used to wear nitrile, then someone lent me a pair of Ansell HyFlex and I now only ever wear nitrile if I'm doing a precision job.

 

[Danglerb]

Which model of the HyFlex, like these?

http://store.pksafety.net/ansell-hyflex-11-900.html

Desc sounds like its a cotton liner in a nitrile glove.

 

[Jononon]

11-500

They nitrile grip is bonded to the woven glove, it's not a glove within a glove.

[blue302stang]

i'm personally a fan of the black gloves from microflex.

 

[Fueler]

Pick my blue ones up at Walmart only because it's convenient. Five bucks or less per 80. I also am fond of some hand cream I get from Menards called gloves in a bottle.

 

[kartracer55]

HF sells these latex gloves that are incredibly durable. THey are packaged in the 100 count size however they only come 50 in a box. I can use the same pair for 2-3 days at work without them tearing. I basically leave them on all day and wash them like I would my hands. Unlike regular latex gloves, they don't expand and get all stupid when they get hit with brake cleaner or PBBlaster.

Great deal, made in maylasia. The HF nitrile gloves are OK, better than latex but QC is ****. Some of the pairs rip trying to pull them onto your hands. Good deal, but the Diamond grip ones sold at a local autoparts store are much better

BMWPower, what kind of prices do you get with your discount?

Update...

Just found out that we no longer get the huge discount we used to get due to a new contract with the company as of 2008. I used to pay $6.50/box. Now they want over $26/box. No thanks!

I found the ones I like online for a lowest price I could find, but you've got to buy a whole case. No problem since I seem to go through them like water sometimes...free shipping, too.

See here:
http://www.discountedlatexgloves.com

The Evolution One gloves are the ones I used to use when I was working in a chemical plant.

Hint for doing dirty/dangerous-to-your-hands jobs: Double glove, if you can. That way when the outer layer gets dirty enough, you can remove and toss them and/or re-glove. Re-gloving again is easier now since you're not trying to put a latex glove on a sweaty hand.

Never tried those. Wouldn't it be hard to see grease and dirty on your gloves?

 

[blue302stang]

they are a nice matte black so you can still see oil and feel the grit of grease. Its just something different, everyone uses blue gloves

Just wanted to give an update on this since I just purchased from here.

The gloves came in one day. Good deal. Right in time for the weekend.

No tax, no shipping, low price.

 

[PoorOwner]

I get mine from Costco near the pharmacy department, examination gloves and they are latex.. not the thickest, it's around $12-$15 for 3 packs of 100 I think that's a pretty good deal.
