Recommendations for disposable nitrile gloves?

[Primalzer]

Looking for any recommendations for disposable nitrile gloves brands/types. I could go to Harbor Freight or Menard's and pick up a no name brand, but I know some of you may use them for work and may have a preference.

Also, can't do latex, I'm allergic

Harbor freight 9mil. Just bought some. Glove is a glove unless you want to spend $30 on 25pair

I don't even know if they make latex gloves anymore. But obviously a thicker one will make your hands sweat more but also tear easier.

We use some crazy expensive 12mil Kimberly Clark ones at work. Can't stand them. They're like rubber bands trying to clamp your hand shut and just make me cramp up.

We buy these too, which I do like:

What are you using them for? Relevant for thickness IMO...

I use those too, or the black ones from advanced I think called raven or something, the black ones tear easy

I use grease monkey from home depot. Not to bad, but depending on what you're doing, they can break easily.

Sort of a catch all, I do work on the cars with them, so something that doesn't break super easily. But mostly for painting these days (which we are doing a ton of), GF likes to use them to pick up dog shit in the yard, basic house stuff for 75% of the time.

I've tried a few different kinds. The microflex ones at advance are $20 and no better than the hf ones. I use the 5mil ones from hf for quick things or messy things like oil changes, packing bearings, etc. I use the 7 mil from hf for longer jobs like brakes, suspension and anything else I need something more durable for longer. 9 mil I felt like I lost some dexterity.

I use these for exactly what you are talking about. They don't hold up the best to brake jobs, but they are great for everything else around the house. I use them for gun cleaning too since they are decently textured.

Costco sells boxes of gloves but not sure if they are latex free. Have not used them so can't comment on effectiveness

 

[BrianG]

If HF has the thickness you need, you probably won't catch a better price elsewhere. I've got a box of the gloves from HF, don't recall what thickness they are, but they work well enough except for heavy car jobs, otherwise they break pretty easily. I use them mostly for keeping my hands clean when I need to do some quick work and for picking up dog shit.

Nitrile gloves are meant to keep chemicals and germs off your hands, not do mechanical work and resist cuts. I don't know why you guys are complaining about tears. Layer work gloves over nitrile

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I wear these for regular work. Lightweight and tight fitting so you still have good dexterity with small parts, cheap enough to use a couple pair a week. I've tried prob 20 different gloves and these are by far my favorite

I wouldn't say complaining, just pointing out they won't hold up to heavier work. I use mechanix gloves for heavy vehicle work.

It's like being upset your balloon popped when you poked it with sharp metal objects

 

[Primalzer]

I mean, I expect disposable gloves to hold up to an oil change, not a brake job...I've had some gloves that ripped if you looked at them wrong, whereas some that held up fine through some heavier shit. Just looking for something that doesn't rip while I'm just sanding and painting in the house

That would make me upset

I used Black mamba gloves that were pretty resistant when using knives/tools, etc.

Currently, I buy some 6.2 mil off of amazon that are fine. When working on heavier jobs, I really dont' wear gloves. They tend to get in the way and I'm used to cuts/rips/gashes/broken knuckles/fingers.

I will say, the nitrile are great to have when handling detailing supplies such as iron-x, alcohol, clay, etc. Hate having my hands smell like those chemicals for days on end.

I use them when I clean my guns too. Lol. Wore some when I painted a couple rooms but now I'm out. Need to pick up some more.
