sliced bread... move over..

I just found something that is awesome when wrenching on a motor.

I have tried for years to wear those mechanics gloves and other gloves to keep my hands from getting too greasy and slippery. I've got no problem with getting dirty mind you, but it takes forever to get the grease completly gone.

A friend showed me those nitrile gloves, the disposable type and they are the cats meow for sure.
With the mechanics gloves, I have trouble starting small nuts and bolts and doing jobs which take finesse but with these on it's really not live wearing gloves.

The best part is when you are done you just chunk them.

give'em a try.

I used those the last time I wrenched on my GTX - had to replace the valve cover gasket. They work great. I agree that the feel is much better than the Mechanix gloves. My only complaint is that I found it was easy to tear them if you're not careful. Then, next thing you know you have grease all over your hands anyway.

Yea this is my only problem with them. For this reason I work barehanded on small things and just put my mechanix gloves back on when I'm done with something small

Nitrile is a good all around choice for most hydrocarbons, I use em a lot for tinkering. Though, if you're doing some degreasing with xylene, MEK or halogenated hydrocarbons (methylene chloride, tri) it's not the best choice. Here's a link to a reasonable glove chart for those nasty chemicals:

I use Nitrile during my clinicals.

I prefer them to Latex because 1, there's no chance of allergy, and 2, they're less prone to making your hands sweat.

I know being a former paramedic, Sparky's probably got a backstock on those puppies.

AND for all of the other "activities" he participates in... behind closed doors... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have been using them for about 2 years or so now and their great. I buy them at the local parts store here they have a grip pattern on them and they are supposed to be thicker than surgical gloves. I think they are called gator skin.

Actually, they are surgical gloves.

yeah, I've tryed I think latex and they make my hands sweat bad.
The nitrile are pretty resistant to tearing.
