I can't seem to keep from ripping my latex or even vinyl gloves for more than 30 seconds while working on my cars, particularly when stripping my parts cars, which is very dirty work. Anyone used tho

I have a few pairs of 'mechanics' gloves I picked up from my race-bike days. I use one pair solely for nasty jobs (they're very difficult to clean once soiled), the others only see bike duty, where t

I just bought a box of "fancy" nitrile gloves. Haven't had a chance to use them in anger yet... what I use for nasty jobs is cotton gloves with the rubber dots on them. They're pretty heat resistant,

"Skin" and a good citrus based hand cleaner work well for me. Added benefit is that not wearing gloves makes you more respectful of the metal bits you're working on - we're not putting out oil fires

I've got a set of the Mechanix brand gloves (approx. $25). They are definitely useful - especially when working around hot engines. They aren't great for grabbing small things, and I end up taking th

This is more or less what I do, grease looks good under fingernails! If I'm going to get nasty chemicals on my hands, like parts washer solvent or brake cleaner or something, I wear nitrile gloves. T

I like the Mechanix brand gloves for motorcycle riding, specifically observed trials. They're thinner than most regular dirt bike gloves so I get better feel with them. I don't use gloves when I work

While certainly not at all like the Kevlar ones, there is a glove like the latex and vinyl ones made from Nitrile that is far stronger than latex and vinyl. The brand name on mine is "Touch n Tough".

Another vote for the nitrile. I recently picked up a box from Harbor Freight and they work much better than the latex gloves. (BTW, I had the same problem with tearing the latex ones.) I've used the

Thanks for the comments. I think I'll lay in a supply of vinyl, cheap cotton, and maybe give the Mechanix gloves a try. Luckily I'm not a brain surgeon, so what my hands look like really doesn't matt

I have several pairs of the Mechanix gloves. In the large size they fit tight, which makes the dexterity pretty good. I can actually pick up some things with the gloves that I can't without... the so
