Just recently bought a pair and waiting on them to arrive...just wandering if anyone has had any experience with them? as my hands get in a state with brake dust, oil and generally touching parts of the car...hoping they a good buy...

They should be a great addition, i don't know how porous they are, but i'd suggest using latex gloves underneath so the hands don't get too greasy if your concerned.

 

Being a mechanic for 15 years I would latex or nitrate gloves. Here only ok for handleing hot parts in a pit type enviroment. You loose alot of feeling when trying to handle small parts.

 

Werd. The mechanics gloves won't actually keep your hands clean from any fine dirt or fluids and you lose a LOT of feeling. The disposable gloves are still pretty cheap (box of 100 for 4 or 5 bucks) and you retain the feeling. Sure they rip sometimes but then you just throw em away and get another one.

 

I go bare so I don't lose sensitivity

 

I have two pairs, one that are "nice" and one for oil changes that are all oily. I also have the blue disposable gloves. The mechanix glive are nice because the offer some protection for your hands from busted knuckels and scrapes. As stated above, they are not so good for small parts.

 

I love nitrile gloves. I ran out though and now I'm on to using up the latex ones that I have left over.

Working in an office, I don't like shaking hands with clients and having stained hands and dirty under my nails.

 

plus girl dont like me touching her with dirt under nails etc lol.

Thought they would be good for any proper work, like handling a cylinder head or suspension arm and for heavy graft/cleaning... but once clean remove and use normal hands/latex for intricate stuff...

Oh an leester01... nice response lol

 

I think you would have been better off with a pair of Atlas gloves from your local hardware store if you don't want to use latex.

 

balls...maybe you're right...oh well

just see what they like when they come through...
