For those of you who use gloves, which ones do you find to be the best?

Then if I'm getting really rough I put mechanic gloves over them so they wont get torn. The mecanuc gloves are black, soaked in soot, oil and stuff.
But my hands and fingernails stay soft and clean.

I rarely use gloves, unless it's paint or something really nasty like MEK or a caustic/acidic solution.

08-22-2011, 06:16 PM #10Homo Depot had some "Mechanix" type gloves on closeout about a year ago. I had used them before & was satisfied. Well, on closeout, they were $2.97 a pair. I cleaned out 4 different stores & still have about 25 pair left. After a few decades of washing my hands in diesel, kero Brakleen, carb cleaner or gas, I have become intolerant of petro products. If I don't wear protection, I get hives real bad on my hands. I wear Nitrile gloves & use the others over them when needed. Kinda sucks when you are a marine mechanic... Just a warning, you eventually can become sensitive to petro products after enough time.

they are ok, some rip putting them on right out of the box. and others seem to last.I have pulled a whole sub frame out of a 123, and never change them. other times doing some piddly ass job, and go through three of them. I keep a small bottle of baby powder in my tool box to so I can get another pair on. kind of hard with sweaty hands.
The Black Nitrile one`s are suppose to be a little tougher, but at $12.99 a box (usually never on sale) is a little pricy.
30, 40 yrs ago never gave it a thought to have my hands in Paint thinner, gas, oil, grease etc.... now days everything seems to be bad and cause cancer etc.... now I wear the gloves for everything just about, even washing the car, and waxing it. my hands seem to dry out and crack easier, and especially in the winter time.
You can be a tough guy when you are young, but sooner or later it catches up with us.

I usually buy the blue nitrile gloves at Harbor Freight when on sale for $6.99. I did get them in Portland, or. a couple weeks ago for $5.99, and NO sales tax.

if it's a frame or something, I do wear regular work gloves. I just can't stand the lack of sensation that a glove causes, or the slip/slop if I'm picking something small up.

Worked with a guy who had so damaged the sensitivity of his hands working in a chroming facility that he was capable of taking 3-400 degree pans out of the oven barehanded. He just couldn't feel it, but his skin was still burning a bit. Apparently he used to just dunk his bare hands in vats of sulfuric acid in such to grab parts, then wipe them off. According to him, this is possible, not gonna try for myself.
His hands also looked horrible, prefer to avoid that in old age if I can personally.

I use gloves 1. to protect my hands against all the forms of skin cancer the million types of fluids can cause, and 2. way easier to strip off a pair of gloves, wipe the sweat off your hands and open a customer's door without leaving fingerprints all over creation. You end up getting used to them, hated them at first, but doesnt really bother me at all anymore, and no more black greasy hands, just black greasy wrists.

They may enjoy the sensation of 220 grit, but 80 grit would be too rough, plus at that point, you might be taking material off with each pass

Reviving old thread. I picked up a pair of "thickster" latex gloves at napa. $20 for a box of 50 BUT they are 14ml and are by far the best glove I've ever used. Looking online you can get em for 12 + shipping....

These bad boys have been my favorite lately at work. I can use them for about three days of hard work, and I only throw them away because they are a little wet inside. 8 Mil, the same ones that Kent Bergs sells on BenzSource.
if it don’t blow black...take it back.

07-31-2013, 08:43 AM #26I use the thick nitrile ones from Harbor Freight in the winter. In the summer I have to do without because of the sweat. The textile gloves do breathe but they're too much maintenance and hold dirt/grease too well.

Ninth Year Anniversary with STD on 1-9-2020

Project 2018: Really get the car finished -- Turbo OM617 greater than 175 MPH goal.
RED W123 - left Germany as 240D in 1982. Full AMG body kit less rear apron, 2:65LSD, five speed Getrag 717.400, manual steering, read leather interior, manual brake conversion, electric water pump (EWP), and a bunch of other goodies ...
HF has black ones which are super thick. I am thinking 6mil or thicker. I have never torn one. When I was last there, they only came in one size, which is a little too small for me, but when you put them on, you have super feel for the finer things and they will never tear. They hold up for over an hour of wrenching and no problems. On sale and with the 20% coupon, they come out to around $10 bucks for a box. The thin blue ones tear in seconds if not careful. The only problem is the sweat which accumalates.

I have the sandpaper hands too...even though I'm going soft having a desk job now. When helping out with making caramel corn I impressed the Wifey with my callouses. Apparently normal people can't pick up the globs of semi-molten caramel without getting burns :p

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Simpler=Better
07-31-2013, 09:50 AM #28Buy a thing of baby powder, and shoot a little into the gloves first. It makes them go on really easily, and helps with the sweaty hand syndrome. Also helps to keep the grease away when you accidentally tear them open on those damn injector line clips.
