Decent Mechanic Gloves? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*!Zar!* · 02-23-2010, 02:25 AM

I'm most likely going to pick up the Gojo and the D-Tek gloves.

The Black Lighting ones are cool, but still tear and are a bitch to put back on after taking them off.

I have had three or four pairs of Mechanic Pit Gloves and those are cool for the first couple times, but they don't really do it for me.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 02-23-2010, 02:45 AM

Latex gloves pretty much all the time.

My dad's company sells gloves similar to those Gojo gloves. Really grippy and extremely cheap.

Similar to these:

He got me 24 pairs for like $20.

Currently on my second pair since October 2009. So, they're pretty durable.

I used to buy Mechanix gloves in the past(the $30-40 ones), but they would be torn up around the two month mark. Not worth it in my opinion.

If I rip the gloves I have now, just throw them out and grab another pair.

Cheaper and works just as good.

*revat619* · 02-23-2010, 03:28 AM

i use mechanix gloves. works for the easy bolt on/off stuff i need them for and i've had them about 2 years. If i need to do more intense work, i take the car TO my mechanic and have him do it. F it. I built one s14 already. I'm over it. I don't wanna be under this one for hours at a time. lol

When i worked at PG, we had those purple latex ones for working on stuff. They're cool, but annoying because after about 20 minutes they rip. But you get a huge box for cheap, so whatever.

Hatch SGK100 Street Guard Gloves with Kevlar

After having 2 pairs of Mechanix gloves tear up on me in a 2 month period, I started using Hatch gloves. I've had a pair last me over two years of constant work on my car and big diesel engines without getting a single rip or tear. Tough enough to protect my hands, yet enough dexterity to still accurately shoot assault rifles. The best part was that I use to get these for free.

*!Zar!* · 02-23-2010, 10:08 AM

A site that has rifles and guns just to sell gloves? Works for me.

Black Lightning is the SHIT.

Not latex for all you guys that are allergic.

I need to buy new padded ones. I got pussy hands.

I too hate getting dirty.

YES YES YES YES YES.

I use these at work. These are the best I've used. At home I have some shitty Harbor Freight black gloves. Knock off Black Lightning? They suck in every way possible.

black latex gloves for me

Pit 2 Gloves - Alpinestars Official Store

I wear these when I work on my truck or when I work with friends.

Great feel and they look great too.

And I'm in that crowd of wearing gloves because I hate shit under my fingernails because of my job.

Those sure look fancy. Do any chain stores carry them, or the Black Lightning gloves? I want to have them today.

murda-c · 02-23-2010, 01:10 PM

Black lightning normally. I've got some old really tough leather gloves i use for murderin' or when i need protection, and a couple pairs of the mechanix for when it's a lil cold and i need something to stick hand warmers in, but I have always had really tough hands...which was always weird since i never really used them for anything rough, but at least it came in handy once i got into cars.

I just like the black lightning to keep crud from under my nails and keep stuff from drying out my skin and hurting the ladies...glove full of vaseline and all that...

1FSTMAX · 02-24-2010, 03:20 AM

worked in a shop for a while, and everyone used diamond grip latex. cant believe no one has mentioned them.

BustedS13 · 02-24-2010, 03:45 AM

bunch of fancy fucks in this thread.

nitriles and brown work gloves that you can buy in a 50 pack at walmart for ten bucks.

TheWolf · 02-24-2010, 08:16 AM

On those G-Tec Maxi Flex ones... do they resist water or soak it up because we've got this cleaning machine at our shop and it sux because if you wear gloves they get soaked in this oily caustic water mix that then takes all the dye out of them and deposits it on your skin...

black hands are awesome..

Soup Nazi · 02-24-2010, 08:40 AM

I use Snap on cuffless gloves.

*DALAZ_68* · 02-24-2010, 08:52 AM

i just tend to use black disposables...

a. i get them at work = free
b. 98% of the time they do the work
c. rather tear a glove than the skin
d. my hands are already fat, so bulky padded gloves makes my hands useless worknig on my car in tight spaces...

yeah...that...

TurboSE · 04-24-2010, 10:23 AM

I've hand a set like these for about 5 years, wore then with some fluids...never washed them. I used them for almost everything you could think of in a garage and finally wore through the leather (not stitching) last month. I found this thread while looking for another pair. I would highly recommend them.

I wear sets similar to these at work (industrial powder coating) and whoever said your hands don't breathe much is 110% correct. Once your palms sweat in them, they slip when you try and twist things. I wear them for 40+ hours a week, they hold up well and they're not expensive but if you wear them much longer, your hands will start smelling like sweaty socks and the stench doesn't wash off easily.

*!Zar!* · 04-24-2010, 10:53 AM

Yeah, I ended up picking up the Gojo version. Which looks exactly the same as the Hi-Tek ones and I am having the same experiences.

Though I do enjoy them. I might try and size down on a pair of gloves and see how much more feel I can gain without loosing comfort.

With my work gloves of similar style, I go a size smaller than comfortable and they usually stretch to fit. Where did you get the GoJo ones? are they by the pair or in bundle?

They were sold by the pair. I picked them up from my local Kragen. They were like $5~6 a pair.
