Recommendations for latex gloves?

As above really - looking for people's thoughts on a good quality brand of latex/disposable gloves for general garage tinkering work that don't split after 30 seconds... Matt.

I use Screwfix 6mil "site" gloves, they are fine for moderate tinkering. Available in black or orange grip. I find I can use them several times before they give up.

I’ve bought the Jefferson ones lately as they’re cheap and just as good as the expensive ones. The tiger grips are stupid money now.

Bold Nitrile gloves, ASIN no. B01186PL5S on Amazon. Much stronger than normal nitrile gloves…

Yes Steve I’ve had those out of the local farm supplies too and they’re great for the price

I use blue nitrile, bodyguard? Off eBay. I buy in packs of 1000 ( 10 x 100 ) at a time as I use them for work too. I also take them off ( blow into the glove ) to re-use so long as they're not split. 1983 110 automatic OM606

I wouldn't recommend any latex gloves, there are far too many issues with them, use nitrile instead.

As said above use nitrile.

Tip: if you need a quick ice pack for an injury. Put a few ice cubes in a glove & then tie a knot. Visitor - Freelander owner

Nitrile, powdered or unpowdered.

Black ones often seem a bit more robust. ____\We|Will|Win/___
