Best workshop gloves?

Lol, a couple of decent nail brushes kicking around the house and clothes washing power...

Gloves always tear and you'll need to wash your hands properly anyways. Gloves can be handy for popping for a pee whilst your working on something, oil being a carcinogen and all that.

ewwww wouldn't fancy that twice or more a day, 6 days a week, and hands will be in shreds and skin stripped of natural oils and could lead to horrible things.  

When i was a nipper my dad used to scrub me down with good ol'4star petrol after a tinkering session in his garage   :scold:

A concoction of veg oil, sugar and lemon juice is a hand-scrub oil remover that works well..... err or so I am told by less manly men  :-'  :oops:

Been cleaning my hands pretty much daily for 20 odd years with a nail brush and no problems. Clothes washing powders a killer though ;)

I only use latex gloves when i'm painting, a welding glove for welding, and Thermo Showa gloves for general handling of sharp or very dirty things. The rest of the time i just get covered in oil / grease / dirt and have black fingernails  :D

If your not working on something intrinsically filthy (like changing oil or packing a wheel bering) then how about mechanics gloves live mechanix or ringer.  I tend to use these a lot as it stops my hands getting cut to bits on the tractor and car stuff. I do have rather soft hands though as I have a desk job and always ware work gloves so never built up the rough hands.

You need somethign with a narrow wrist with a velcro close , the traditional gauntlett style "riger" gloves are too bulky an get in the way.
