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.

COSTCO mediums for me, large for Lil Erc.

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

I've been told Woody uses them as Condoms

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

Princess Auto is almost the twin of HF... are any of these the same glove?

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.

Stu

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.

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

I use Curad vinyl gloves because I get them pretty cheap...

Diamond grip! but seriously, there just gloves

The naval jelly I've been using to clean up rust seems to seep through the nitrile gloves ... my finger tips cracked like crazy

Guess I'll try latex gloves next

These are the best. I've used allot of different gloves. I buy these from the sanp on man

Now that's a scary picture

These are very good cheap .

These are very good and cheap .

Kenny, those are the ones I get at Harbor Freight - really Cheap, Great Fit

I've used the Grease Monkey ones a few times. They hold up well in tough conditions.

I too use HF Nitrile..................$6.99 per box.

We use "Kimtech Pure G3 White Nitrile gloves" now at work.

We buy them by the pallet full, and I mean:
Full pallet of X-large, full pallet of large, full pallet of medium, etc....

And go through whole pallets in a week....

The older latex gloves would leave behind a sticky residue after wearing them for a few hours.
You could only put on a new pair if you cleaned your hands with IPA first.

Stu

IPA, really?

Where do you work Stu

HA!HA! IPA = Isopropryl Alcohol.

I work at Ball Aerospace, but we ARE in Boulder, CO (pretty much the microbrewery capital of the U.S. ;-)
I live a few blocks from the Left-Hand brewery...

When you work in cleanrooms all day, you go through a LOT of gloves.

Stu

100K class?

Yes. We have had to do work down to 10K, but in a sealed flowbench.
Now it is referred to as ISO 1-9 or Class 1-4 (they just cant leve crap alone)

That brand of glove is also ESD safe.

Stu - Sorry for hijak

i've always liked these.

Stu - I love it that the mason jar company from Muncie has a satellite division. That's just too cool. I always wondered, did the aerospace grow out of the aluminum technology from the can divsion?

Hijack complete.

jbyron - Actually Ball container and "Ball Brothers Research Corp" started around the same time. BBRC worked with LASP at CU and eventually turned into Ball Aerospace. They share the same corporate headquarters in Broomfield, CO.
The Al. can division got a lot of it's technology from the Aerospace div.
Stu

My idea of govt contractors. Three guys working and six guys watching.

I use almost every glove hf sells and pretty much like them all for the price.

Diamond Grip!
