I don't buy latex. I use nitrile. Latex won't hold up in my parts washer (with solvent in it). Even the HF nitrile gloves work fine, so I buy any brand that's handy.

I would recommend Safegrip, mde by microflex. They're nice and thick and grippy.

Harbor Freight - Good gloves for cheap. I haven't ripped one yet.

I've been told Woody uses them as Condoms (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I've used Harbor Freight nitril heavy duty gloves for years. They're inexpensive and rugged.

I also prefer Nitrile, but Latex can withstand chemicals that Nitrile cannot. Some days at work I go through 20 pairs of Nitrile. I prefer the tightest fitting that I can get on easily to have the greatest dexterity.

My nitrile gloves lasted about 10 seconds while using aircraft stripper.

So it is best to have both around and know when to use which.

2nd that on aircraft stripper. Heavy duty chemical gloves work well for all the really harsh stuff and still less than $10 at the hardware store. My wife brings home the gloves that are past usage date from the hospital. Cheap and plentiful.

We go through 3-4 pair a day. I don't like the standard nitrile as they're baggy and makes picking up small clips and things difficult. The Costco ones fit tight.

I like the ribbed kind. My proctologist recommended them. He swears by them and so do I. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

I've tried a lot of different gloves overe the years and keep getting Damond Grip. They fit well, not baggy, not too tight. http://store.readysupply.com/products.php?...boxes-of-100%29 As long as they dont get hooked on something a pair will generally last me a day, but like others said, they wont hold up well to any solvents. I have also used black lightning gloves and they fit extremely tight which aided in their tearing

The naval jelly I've been using to clean up rust seems to seep through the nitrile gloves ... my finger tips cracked like crazy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Guess I'll try latex gloves next (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
