I go through boxes of gloves. I use nitrile when I expect to contact
gasoline or other fluifs, and cheaper nylon gloves for general dirty
work. I haven't found a "mechanic's" work glove that holds up to dirty
work long enough to justify the $20 a pair. I used to enjoy getting my
hands dirty, a nice break from working on a computer, but the
combination of dry Colorado climate and frequent washing was too hard on
my youthful looking hands.
