Just wanted to pass the word along, but Harbour Freight has Gojo Mechanics gloves for 5.99 that I saw today, they work great and are washer safe.

Gojo gloves - $5.99
Saving your knuckles from being owned. - PRICELESS

Yeah, Gojo gloves kick ass. They're the only thing I've found that don't impede hand motion, and get in the way of grabbing small stuff, but still protect your hands.

We just use latex at my work, its mostly to stay clean compared to injury. Definitely cheap though!

I got RS*R gloves for free at RS*R drift festival, love them and can't beleive I wasted my time with all those disposable ones. But I guess they can't sell them in the US cuz they are a copy of some other glove.

why pay more when you can pay 4.99-5.99, hell you could get a new pair per each season!

i use latex for oil changes, ect. but these are washer safe so you can get em dirty and not ahve to worry about it.

they also have 2 types, one has this gel stuff on the palm area and on teh back of your hand for "padding". the other has just straight up grip. :rawk:

I still dont see them on HarborFreight.com. I like gloves that last a few months, latex is nice and cheap but I do bust my hands up with them, although not as frequent as when im gloveless. Where are these gloves, I see them them on Gojo's website, but not on HF.

Stop being pussies.

Bleeding and torn knuckles build character. That and grease that doesn't come out for days.

why do people need gloves for drifting? do your hands really get that sweaty to the point where you cant grab your wheel right?

gloves help me a whole lot with my pos leather wheel. but even if i had a suede wheel, i'd probably still use the gloves. its a very good grip assurance.

Those kind's of gloves never last me more than a month before the thumb or other area's start to rip.

I work for an import company, and they use ALOT of stuff from Harbor Freight. I've yet to see anyone break a wrench or socket, and they beat the hell out of them. So, I had to pickup a set myself to go along with my craftman tools. The HF wrenchs are the ones I beat on. :wiggle:

oh yeah i mean my stuff never really breaks...just the one time they did, it was as simple as going up there and getting a new one...can't beat that :D
