What gloves to do your work?

[michiganman18]

What gloves are people are wearing. I like the ATG MaxiFlex Ultimates 34-874. Fine enough to handle detail. Yet think enough to protect and warm on chilly days. I can even type in them if need be. Also they can be washed out fairly well. Ive tried some other brands and they were too thick for detail work or werent flexible enough for the work.

Mostly use them for automotive as thats what I do most but use them for electrical when the need arises.

Any other ones/suggestions?

We have those MaxiFlex gloves in the stock room at work. They do fine for jobs that require high dexterity. They're fine for automotive work.

If I need something a little more heavy duty, I have a pair of Mechanix M-Pact CR5 gloves that are impact and cut resistant. They're pretty good and seem to reduce hand fatigue.

Yeah I really only use those for automotive work. Any other suggestions besides disposables?

I work in a plant but my job requires more dexterity than leather gloves most of the guys wear.

With that being said, the maxi flex gloves are amazing. I made it through all of 2014 with one pair of gloves, they do get my hands a little too hot in the summer but it is amazing how well that held up.

I was going to order some more but realized I had some of the maxi flex's competitors gloves in my desk I got as a sample. They haven't made it two months yet and they are already trashed with huge holes developing near my thumb

I used the ones that go up past my elbows. But that was mainly because my boss always wanted me to pull numbers out of my *** for him.

P.S. I gave him the glove when I retired.

Feather Flex are next to surgeon's gloves but I won't pay the 20 bucks. They have a fine mesh back that might not be very good for greasy jobs but they are very good for assembly work like making up electrical connections.

Those are pretty standard for construction. Use them all the time. I used to buy these for automotive use.

Other than when working on very hot days 85*+ They are much better in every way. The rubber front allows much better grip, keeps your hands warmer especially when handling cold metal items, also when working with greasy oily stuff you can just wipe it off with a rag. And when working in very dirty dry environments, keep your hands moist enough to prevent your skin from drying out and cracking. I just throw them in the washer and dryer with my work clothes and they turn out fine. Very durable as well.

I actually normally use the ones you posted most of the time as my employer provides them for free. But in more difficult conditions (especially cold/wet weather and oil/grease) I bring my own from home.

Pretty sure those are the same one they have in the stock room. Maybe a 3m variant. Rubber palm with a mesh backing. Only downside is when you fully submerge them in a liquid, such as EDM fluid.

For non wet or greasy applications, even with hot work. Tillman makes a good solution.

Diamond Grip. Only gloves I use.

Can you reiterate which ones you liked better?

I like the maxi flex mostly bc they stay soft when cold yet not sticky when hot. I csn use them for all my applications then wash as needed.

These are what I use. I have 5 or 6 pairs in various places. I never liked wearing gloves until I found these. And you can't beat the price. I cut the Velcro strap off of them as soon as I get them. I like being able to get a glove off quickly and the Velcro just gets in the way.

I like the nitrile coated atlas ones I linked to much better. But I use the maxi flex ones most of the time because they are free. I only use the nitrile coated ones for cold/wet/greasy tasks because they aren't free.

I've got a pair of these, fit well but seem small.

I have a blue pair of some other brand that have held up well also, along with some of the basic variety. What ***** is getting a pair broke in that fits awesome (leather glove like a leather boot) then it gets a hole in the thumb or finger.

If you get the chance, you should try these out:

The dexterity is amazing.

As for work gloves/ wildland gloves I wear elkskin fence gloves.

 

[Hpozzuoli]

In my line of work I prefer DeWalt

When I am in the shop I use Snap On impact gloves.

Diamond Grip. Only gloves I use.

On the rare occasion that I wear gloves these are my preferred gloves.

Next time the Chief orders gloves, I'll suggest those.

Leather or split leather palm like a mechanic's glove ?
