I found a new glove this weedend and I wanted to share. I have used a few different "Mechanics" type gloves and honestly they don't work as well as I would like. They don't give real good finger tip sensitivity so I find myself taking them off quite a bit and then when I put them back on my hands are dirty and so on. Besides I can tear up a pair on one good sized job and at $20 plus a pair that can get expensive.

The ones I found are the sock type that are dipped in nitrile. I have used this type quite a bit also but the ones I found this weekend are the best I've ever used. They are Ansell HyFlex Foam part #11-801. The rubber is very soft and pliable yet tough and have good sensivity. You can find them priced between $3.50 and $7.00. I bought 6 pair for $31.50 delivered.

Like I said I wanted to share but if anyone has other gloves to add to the list I'd like to hear about them.

That would be them. Thanks for the web address. These are the best I'ver ever used. I've used several of the other mechanics gloves and I tear them up too quick, even the expesive ones. Besides you could pick up a needle with these. Of course I have a box of the cheap nitrile gloves for working with gas or grease and I still have the regular mechanics glove too

All I can say is order a pair and try them. They're not that expensive. They are not liquid proof, but they are very sensitive and durable. Size 8 or 9 for an average sized hand. I use size 8, they are stretchy and fit tight.

Is there a way to check your glove size before you order some?
