Thread: Gloves

I was cleaning a lighter tonight & as always I wear gloves. I have worn gloves, of various types, all my adult life. While on the job, I would go through at least 8 to 12 pair a day, depending on my unit assignment at the time. I thought that many members probably wear gloves during restorations & other hobbies. I am by no means an expert on gloves, I just wear them often & know which ones work for me..

I put together here some of the more common gloves that I use, should it interest anyone. Please add to the thread any type of gloves that you may use.

Thanks for looking,,,,

These gloves are Ansell clear vinyl, cheap & found at Wal Mart. They are for light duty & tear easily if put on in a hurry. Basically for household cleaning; they are my last choice.







These gloves are Curad Blue Nitrile, a stronger glove than ansell & great for chemicals. Cheap & at Wal-Mart; the problem is they are "Universal Size", really,,,, They can be a PITA to put on large hands, as you can see from the photo,,you sometimes tear them trying.







These gloves are Grease Monkey Black Nitrile, approx. $12.00 a box at Home Depot. I found these for the first time last week, they fit great & are not easily torn. These might become my go-to gloves because of quality,price & availability.








The gloves that I have used the most in my life are the Kimberly-Clark Purple Nitrile. They are strong, come in large & extra large. I've used them for just about everything, a great glove for chemicals or Bio Hazards (blood & other body fluids). They are not cheap, approx. $15.00 & ordered on-line.
