Thin Gloves from HD

[hancock1701]

Hi guys,

I've been using these Grease Monkey gloves from Home Depot, and I really like them. They're thin enough to retain the feel, but thicker than disposable gloves, and also have plenty of grip. I usually use them for engine bay or interior work. They do wear after a few projects (holes in fingers), but for $5 that's not bad at all. I was just wondering if there are other similar options, maybe a little more expensive, but will last longer?

I get good use from KLEENGUARD 97824 Disposable Gloves, Nitrile, XL, Gray, PK140 (compared to more rippable HF gloves and the #140 package helps too.) I last ordered from Zoro.

I also have some sample gloves from a different supplier. thicker, nicer, good variety available. I'll post info on those later if I remember.

I've been using the Gorilla 15 ml disposable gloves (50 @ $25 or so). As you'd expect the gorillas are stronger, more robust and tougher than the grease monkeys. If you're using that monkey poo try the Gorillas, they're king of the jungle. You'll go ape over them.

I've been wearing a Wells Lamont glove very similar to that Grease Monkey and I like them for general automotive work. They're synthetic mesh with a thin rubber impregnated on the palm, so they're not fluid-tight. But they're tougher than disposable (tougher overall than I would have expected) and they breathe so my hands don't get sweaty inside them. I picked them up at Atwoods (a regional farm store) for $2.50/pair. I don't have a stock number (I cut the tags out for comfort) and can't find them on the WL web site so I hope they haven't been discontinued. When I'm really going to be into fluid, I use disposable nitrile.

HF #97405:

Since I started using these for mechanical work, I wear them all the time for everything.

Thin enough to pick up a dime, but protect me for working on most everything.

What is the cut resistance of the gloves?
