Where do you buy your nitrile gloves from?

[blueapplesoda]

I use "Diamond Grip" autozone latex gloves in the shop. $18 kleenex sized box. Way better than any nitrile glove I have found locally, believe it or not. Normal sized hands, medium works best for me. It isn't as chemically resistant as nitrile, but doing normal work 1 Pair usually lasts about 6-8 hours of work, if I don't get it caught on any sharp edges. I go through a box in about a month.

Raven brand non-powdered black nitrile gloves from O'Reilly Auto Parts. ~100/box. About $14 for a box. Amazingly resilient to catching on things.

I get much thicker that usual Nitrile gloves from MSC or McMaster. They hold up a lot better than the gloves marketed for medical purposes.

This. Best gloves I have ever used.

I can't stand wearing gloves. I have huge hands, so firstly they don't fit well. Second, my hands get pretty warm, so they sweat a lot and my fingers look like prunes

Me too. It's call hyper-hydrosis.

Mine too. When I was a tech at a chevy dealer, I would spend all day working on a car on a lift. The sweat would drip off my elbows. It was just miserable.

There is actually a surgery for it. My doctor offered it to me. They clip a nerve, outpatient stuff. But you can't use your hand for a week or two. (fap fap fap)

Luke would be fine, he has employees that can do that for him.

Pop into a local paint store George. When I used to work at Parker Paint we sold them for pretty cheap. PM and I'll even give you a name you can drop to get a discount.

get free from hospital!!

I work in a hospital. They changed brands for their nitrile gloves and were getting rid of the old stock. Each of us got a case. Score!

Decades ago, we wouldn't wear any gloves. We'd also 'wash up' using laquer thinner. Older and wiser, I now know those chemicals absorb into your skin and ultimately your blood. I feel naked without gloves now.

i agree...but ive been so overheated that the sweat felt great. and didn't mind too much if i got some hot oil on my hands, as gloves helped alot...
best part for me was being able to take them off, and eat with my hands without having grease stains up and down..

whats funny is i looked like mickey mouse, as my arms would be black smears and my hands would be white and wrinkly..ahh those were the days i do not miss

me too...i have used acetone for cleaning off epoxy resins, now, i use 3 layers of cheap gloves to do all the fiberglassing, and peel off a set as they get wet (with epoxy)...then, (being a miser) i reuse them after they dry up, for changing oil or other 1 last time usages...

i suggest
harbor frieght


box of 100 for less then 8 bucks

3mil, 5mil, 9mil, 4.99 , 6.99, 11.99 boxes of 100..
the blue are my usual, but found the 3mil to be quite durable too.

and these lasts a very long time..espcially for less then 2bucks.
.i keep a set in the car for when i fuel up, check engine oil, clean windows, check tire pressure, etc...keeps my steering wheel clean...and they last months if you don't do major work...but even with major work, they last a very long time.
