Work gloves???
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum and recently started working on my own car as a hobby. Does anyone know of any good gloves to use when working on a car? What products do you guys use? I'm looking at several pair right now because the garden gloves just aren't cutting it, haha. Any and all feedback is much appreciated. Thanks. |

Re: Work gloves???
Been using gloves in the trades for a decade and a half. I found the perfect glove 6 years ago and use it for everything. Ansell Hy-Flex foam. These are nitrile so they keep out a certain amount of chemicals and stand up to a washing or two (don't put in dryer). I buy them in a ten pack for about $50 at Acklands-Grainger. http://www.ansell.eu/industrial/pdf/...lex%20Foam.pdf

Re: Work gloves???
To save your hands while working wearing gloves is a pretty good idea. I would recommend Leather or latex gloves should be used. Nitrile Latex gloves are good options as a box of 100 costs only 13 bucks.

Re: Work gloves???
Recently I found something even better and cheap. You get them in the dollar stores. They are a mint green and fairly thick vinyl. Not as skin tight like the nitrile but almost and about 20 times as strong. The store I get mine at is called "The Family Dollar". Nice gloves and you can almost work with small nuts and bolts pretty freely. A nice alternative to the high priced actual mechanics glove is the mechancs gloves Harbor Freight Tools sells. I got a pair of those and they are first rate compared to the 25 buck ones for around $13. Mine are red and black and I love them until I need to do small stuff and then it's back to the bare hands and GoJO.

Re: Work gloves???
I think everyone can enjoy working with gloves on if they are wearing the correct size. I fix my truck as a hobby; not a career. I can't have black fingernails and grease-stained hands in my professional life.
Nitrile non-powdered are my favorite. I'm not particularly picky about the brand. I love that they come in affordable big boxes, they fit great, and are exceptionally durable...

Re: Work gloves???
Working on class 8, road tractors,big bore diesel engines,brakes and drivelines for the last 37 yrs I've found the only gloves that give me the manual dexterity needed are nitrile gloves. The company supplies ours but you can get them at Harbor Freight reasonably priced. They do come in different thickness and sizes. Look for the heavier guage ones. You will go through them on a job but they're inexpensive. Been using them for the last 10 yrs or so. Wish they were available years ago. I hate to think how much stuff my skin has absorbed over the years.
