Best disposable glove?

[Martin Erhard]

What's the consensus on the strongest/most durable ones?

Tried a few makes over the years and usually end up poking a digit through after just a short while, sometimes even just pulling the things on.

I've only used Halfords own, but they last quite well.

Ask a proctologist, I'm sure they'll have a recommendation 🙆🏻

 

Any proctologists on here who'd like to comment

 

I'll get me coat

Davesport, protologists....they can shove it up your ar*e

 

I usually use two pairs at a time, they seem to last longer than one alone. Also I think the vinyl ones last better than the latex ones if handling chemicals (white spirit etc..)

I agree about vinyl lasting longer than latex. Some of our guys in the factory need to use disposables and we have changed entirely over to vinyl now. The other benefit is that your hands don't end up smelling like condoms!

These are what I use here, except I scrounged a box from local Land Rover specialist. pretty tough, plenty of feel, Nitrile so non allergenic

tough enough for working on Landys

delicate enough for proctology if that is your wish 😬

Not strictly speaking disposable gloves, but I use these from Kimberly Clark. They are relatively expensive (think I paid £20 for 12 pairs via some garage mates) but I find them far, far better than latex or vinyl gloves that split easily.

 

They are washable, resistant to a bit of heat and thin enough for fiddly jobs. I probably would have gone through several boxes of disposable gloves in the time that I've had to bin/give away half of these so far.

 

Highly recommended if you can find them.

You don't sweat in vinyl gloves. Latex ones fill with sweat in a short space of time !!!

 

 

[Rattie]

A strange claim. I've found that I sweat in any "examination glove". Maybe the vinyl ones rip quicker, so you don't up sweat quick enough 😬

 

I use the purple nitrile gloves which are more comfy and tougher than the vinyl and more petrochemical resistant and less stinky than latex.

Up north we get our hands dirty. You'll be having manicures next

 

Seriously I've given up on gloves - I can't find any that last more than a couple of minutes and it doesn't help having hands like shovels.

I use the latex with aloe vera gloves from Lakeland. Some of the other latex and nitril gloves were causing/aggravating an allergy. The Lakeland ones are easy to put on and remove whilst also proving very durable. I also use them inside gardening gloves during the winter months when doing anything that is likely to make the gloves wet. They are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
