Hey those purple nitrile gloves are nice!

[berettafan]

I decided to try the disposable purple nitrile gloves you see on the redneck hotrod shows and sure enough they are sweet!

My hands don't smell like rubbers after wearing these gloves and they don't pinch/pull hair on my hands. They are also a good bit tougher than laytex gloves and provide a LOT more 'feel' for detail work than Mechanix or similar.

If you haven't tried them yet i recommend them. I paid $5 or something for 40 gloves in a box at Wally World. They can be found in the pharmacy area.

Wonder if Costco has them. They seem to have the best deal on Latex. I'm almost out and may make the switch.

Harbor freight had the purple nitrile/latex on sale for $7.99 for 100 a week or so ago.

I'm a big fan of "Diamond Grip" latex exam gloves.

[JeremyD]

and where do you get those Kevin? I am a glove whore.

[berettafan]

Want to point out that the gloves i bought are NOT laytex.

[JeremyD]

I think the purple ones are part laytex/nitrile, the blue ones are nitrile (typically)

Yes, Costco has them now. They don't sell the latex ones anymore. $10 for 300!

Rubber gloves are for girls and doctors. Grow a pair and buy some Go-Jo and a fingernail brush.

getting my hands dirty isn't the problem. The real problem comes from the paints and solvents that absorb into the skin and migrate to the bloodstream. Now thats a problem.

[berettafan]

If anything is for girls it's a fingernail brush!

Oh and i'll admit to being happy about not having to wash my hands, even though i do have a huge container of orange stuff cleaner!

[swa911]

easy fellas.......just having some fun with ya.......I sometimes slip on a rubber or two myself.

I can't find the receipt but I'm pretty sure they were $9.99 for 300 nitrile exam gloves in the pharmacy dept.

Guys,

The rubber that the gloves are made of that are intended for automotive use is a "Nitrile" material and a synthetic form of rubber. If you used a natural latex rubber it would tend to breakdown or dissolve when in contact with pertroleum based liquids/oils etc.

A more important point to mention here is that you can get a form of dermatitis sometimes severe from the continued use of latex products due to an allergy to the proteins in the latex rubber so use gloves that are made of "Nitrile" rubber over the other. The more you use latex the greater the chances of developing the allergy............

I use N-dex they seem to work the best and are 4mil thick not like the cheap thin ones. cost more but well worth it plus sometimes you can reuse them.
