Best workshop gloves?

(1/3) > >>

JimP:
Can anyone recommend a decent workshop glove, I've used the cheap latex in the past but they last 2 seconds!

Sick of oily finger nails!

Cheers

Jim

I use these, wouldnt say they are the best but they are fine for basic stuff; they still rip if you catch them on something sharp.

But they keep your hands clean!!

Not that i use gloves or this stuff, my hands are always oil stained anyway but have you tried some barrier cream.
Ive had some at work and used it once, it doesnt make your hands slippery and it means that oil and grease and anything else you can get on your hands just washes off with minimal effort and doesnt leave stains

Saffy:
Lie said barrier cream is pretty good stuff, haven't used it since college though. Clogs up your nails and dry skin so oil doesn't soak in an stain, help stop skin problems too.  Nitrile is what I see them using in professional garages.  I just grab the standard latex glove from farmer supplies and just reskin them as I go along. I notice that size bigger than needed last longer as your not stretching them, also keep them in the dark as sunlight weakens them within days. Really cheap ones... half them split at the wrist putting them on!

i buy the vinyl gloves as there a bit better and last a lot longer than latex
