20 Best Nitrile Gloves For Mechanics (2023 Updated)

In today’s crisis it’s a good idea to protect yourself. Another way to protect yourself is by using high quality gloves. I’m an automotive painter and I need a good solid pair of gloves. I’ve bought this brand several times, and each time I got 1000 gloves (10 boxes of 100) For me, they don’t last long, because I paint a lot of vehicles, but rest assured out of the last 3000 gloves I bought only 1 broke.

There are thicker mil gloves out on the market, but these are just fine for what I do, and definitely better than a standard 3 or 4 mil glove. The fingers are textured in all the right places to grab and hold on to things much better than a glove with just the finger tips being textured.

These gloves stand up to all types of fluids I have had to work with, from oil, paint, lacquer thinner, and household cleaning chemicals. I have not been let down with the performance of the glove. Only 1 glove out of 3000 broke while putting it on.

Nothing is perfect, but that is a much better return than a box of 3 or 4 mil gloves that I’ve lost 4 to 7 gloves out of a box of 100. I will continue to buy this brand, because it has been proven to me by simple use and it’s cost.

The cost is at least $100 cheaper for a case of 1000 than a higher mil or the exact same mil of other brands. It’s a solid fair price in today’s crisis for the need to protect yourself. At the very least, I urge you to buy one box and try them out.

For me, in the long run, these gloves will keep known chemicals I use daily, that can cause cancer, off of my skin. Why wouldn’t I use them? You should too.

Best disposable gloves I have ever used. Background: I worked in the emergency department of a level 1 trauma hospital for 30 years. Ive used lots & Lots of disposable gloves. Fist, the old vinyl, then latex & nitrile, powdered & non powdered.

Used these gloves as PPE in the ER & OR as well as anyplace where my hands could become contaminated & also to prevent contaminating patients & surfaces. These gloves are not described as medical grade, but I use them in the house, garage & yard.

These wear as well, allowing almost the sensitivity of touch of the best gloves heretofore used. In addition these gloves are far more durable than any other disposable gloves Ive worn. These gloves are so durable, I have yet to disrupt any glove surface.

They afford an excellent barrier, including against household chemicals. Probably would not fare well in contact with Aqua regia, but I am unaware of any material that could. These gloves are usually discarded because they have gotten too soiled or because they have acquired an unpleasant odor through exposure.

to an odoriferous substance. Seriously, if you have need for disposable gloves at a reasonable cost, these are those gloves. & theyre an orange color, probably to intimidate the other disposable gloves.

These gloves are amazing for thr price point. I use them in a variety of uses from working on small engines to smoking brisket and they are truely amazing. I haven’t experienced no ripping or tearing of the glove material and they can take abuse when working on small engines.

I have even used them on my Jeep changing brakes with the same high quality performance, no tears rips or breaks. Thanks again Stauffer for carrying such a good product!.

I use nitrile gloves in my pottery and metal fabrication business. These are a solid buy. I haven’t had any problems with the gloves ripping or breaking down with rough use. They stand up well to exposure with alcohol but there are chemicals and solvents that cause nitrile to fall apart such as certain types of paint stripper.

Do your research if you’re going to use them for chemical exposure and buy the appropriate product. Don’t complain about nitrile gloves falling apart when exposed to chemicals that nitrile was never meant to withstand.

That’s like complaining that your raincoat didn’t perform well in a zombie apocalypse or house fire.

Worst gloves EVER. OK, maybe not ever but I’m pretty sure a butterfly can gently graze these things with the edge of its wing and they’ll rip. THEY ARE PAPER THIN. Actually, I’m comparing them to paper right now and paper is thicker.

I don’t know what profession can utilize these gloves but as a plumber, these are garbage. I can’t even twist off my oil filter in my car without these ripping. I’m tired of the “new standard” being terrible.

Prices go up, quality go down. There’s gloves at harbor freight that destroy these in quality and pricing. Unless your job is to delicately massage the softest material on the planet, don’t bother.

I tried these for mechanic work on cars instead of kimberly clark purple gloves. I think these hold up better. They are slightly tighter fit, but It give me better dexterity. Great for working at UPS store against Covid-19.

Excellent gloves.

The gloves fit perfectly. They are thick and durable. I am a mail carrier and the gloves withstand dealing with the mailboxes and delivering packages. I would recommend them to everyone.

If you work with your hands. Like me I am constantly cleaning my hands from Grease ,glue, silicone, paint you name it. With these gloves you won’t have to anymore.

You know how you buy a box of gloves every few months and you can’t remember which brand was actually good and if they fit tight/loose for the size? These are good and worth buying. They’re durable enough I can get one pair to last like a whole day of wrenching, so long as I’m not doing sharp metal or brake fluid stuff.

They run maybe a little small? I’m in-between medium and large and I wear a large of these.

These gloves are surprisingly durable and worthy of the price. It is indeed unfortunate how much a box of them cost, but their reliability makes up for that! They are great to do just about any small work in.

Cleaning out your vehicle especially! Good for yard work as well. I love that they are also black.

Much stronger than regular rubber gloves, which helped me alot in corrections work and yard work as well. Couldn’t purchase these gloves at Lowe’s any longer, since they restricited sales to medical personnel because of COVID, plus the attitude I received from Lowe’s employees for daring to want such gloves during the “crisis” was something I didn’t need.

Glad you made this item available!.

They should have small, medium and large sizes like every other glove manufacturer. Their box says fits most hands. Well I have medium sized hands and they are too big. They fit too loosely and the extra rubber allows them to tear easily.

These type gloves need to fit snugly so theres no loose rubber to catch on something and tear. Please make them in the 3 standard sizes.

These gloves are fantastic they. I don’t have anything bad to say about them. Once I leave to go out I never take them off. They are not a hindrance in being able to handle things with gloves on like driving, handling money, being able to operate my cell phone no problems at all.

They work great and they provide the protection I need in my efforts to social distance. Will buy more when I run out. Lastly one pair can be used multiple times.

Chemical resistant and definitely better than supermarket grade gloves. The MG-2 are thicker and more durable than the previous MG-1 version, which used to split at the finger tips too readily. These are a bit less stretchy also, so get the correct size! I’m a guy with regular size hands but the Large size gloves fit me well.

They also come in Medium & Extra Large if you’re smaller or bigger. I usually don’t bother with gloves most of the time. Regular grease, motor oil, and dirt usually won’t hurt anybody. However, I always use gloves around BRAKE FLUID (it destroys your nails and poisons you through the skin), plus some chemicals such as antiseize compounds can really burn the skin be warned.

If in doubt, just use the gloves! The Park gloves are an easy choice because they’re readily available, economical to buy, durable, and they resist most chemicals. They are also multipurpose, not just bicycle specific.

Use them to change your motor oil, clean something with a lot of Acetone, OR to bleed your bike brakes. The only (unavoidable) drawback with these gloves is that your hands will sweat a lot more than usual, and it’s not uncommon to get drips from them or puddles when taking them off.

But realistically, that will always be better than risking your health or needing to use hand cleaner after something simple but messy like fitting a new Shimano bike chain! I think Park Tools claim the gloves are reusable, but I wouldn’t go that far.

At least there are a lot in the box. The only small complaint I have about these gloves is that they are now thicker but are jammed into the same size carton. and simply CANNOT be dispensed one by one any more.

It’s more like 100 or nothing LOL, but that’s really an unimportant consideration. An easy recommendation, for a must-have item. PROS: Economical, Durable, Chemical Resistant CONS: Mg-2 Now Clump In Carton.

I really like these gloves, be it for bicycle maintenance or for lathe work. They are robust enough to withstand most tears from usage. However, for machine tools, it’s imperative that the gloves tears before your fingers do, so I find them safe to work on the lathe and milling machine.

If they get caught, they simply tear. While in bicycle usage, they are resistant enough for most jobs (maybe the time you rub it against a chainring it’ll tear. The box last very long in home usage.

As with everything else Park Tool does, these gloves are great. Also if you want, they can even be used more than once. I even have a pair in my saddle bag in case of a flat. Nothing like clean hands.

I’ve used nothing but these gloves for so many years now, can’t even remember when I first started. Every hand is unique so I don’t pretend to suggest how you’ll feel, but these fit me, well, like a glove.

Use them for gardening, auto repair, chemical handling, housecleaning, painting, setting gopher traps, replacing halogen lamps and watch batteries, you name it. Always buy in case quantities for unbeatable pricing and JB Tools shipped promptly and with great communication.

I buy these for doing all sorts of things around the house that get my hands dirty. Changing oil/working on cars, dealing with chemicals, doing plumbing, etc. I’ve used these for almost 10 years now, and they have always been great quality, durable, and they seem to provide a pretty good tactile feel still, which is hard to find in a glove.

Another thing you can do with these gloves is if you buy a size up, I put them over my fabric winter gloves to provide a layer of waterproofing to keep the gloves from getting wet while shoveling snow, snowblowing, or just playing in the snow with the kids.

it keeps your hands dry and warmer, since soaked through winter gloves don’t do you a bit of good. I highly recommend these gloves for anyone looking for a strong glove that has great feel and will hold up to more abuse than most!.

I use harsh chemicals that melt some gloves instantly. These hold up quite well if you’re careful. I can take them on and off multiple times and reuse them throughout the day. In a few hours I may go through a few gloves but I always feel like I got my moneys worth.

They fit right without stretching and tearing like many other gloves on the market that may be labeled XL but are really small or medium.

These are great shop gloves. They are good at keeping harmful chemicals off your skin. They’ve been durable and the grip helps keep the tools from slipping. Plus Unisafe has the best price. Thanks!

The gloves are excellent. The little dimples on the gloves are great for jobs where you need to turn slippery items. I use them all the time doing oil changes and it helps to remove the filters and your hands stay oil free.

There is no indication of size on these gloves. I consider these XL sized gloves, because I normally wear a Large size comfortably and these are too big. They fit my palm just right, but every finger has at least 1cm (or half-inch) of extra glove.

This is extremely annoying because the glove gets in the way, particularly when doing tasks such as tying a knot in a trash bag. These gloves would be excellent if they were Large; at the bare minimum the company should have mentioned the size on the package!.

Since gyms reopened post-Quarantine, I’ve been sanitizing my hands up to 20 times while working out, in addition to the disinfectant wipes you must use to clean equipment. Very hard on your hands, and that’s just the gym.

I bought these Work Gloves (some call these mechanics gloves), PERFECT to use at the gym. When I get there, I sanitize my hands, put these gloves on. Versus 20 times sanitizing my hands, instead I’m spraying the cleaning material onto the Nitrile-coated palms/fingers (think paper thin rubber).

The cotton back of your hand breaths, the Nitrile coating is paper thing, so you still have finger dexterity to use your phone. You keep your hands away from your face, and the gloves take the cleaning/ sanitizing well.

You can use the same principles shopping, or anything in public. When you’re done take them off, folding them into each other. Separate them when you put them in the wash, and when they come out “DO NOT” put them in the dryer.

Just lay them out flat, they dry quick. You get 15 from Sam’s, easily lasts a week before having to wash them. I’m worried they’ll also become hard to find, so bought 4×15 packs from Sam’s Club. I can’t stress enough that as long as COVID and safety precautions are at their peak, these are an incredible find.

Great Job Sam’s Club & Grease Monkey – Awesome Price :).

Purchased these for my son as he is tearing down an engine and transmission so his hands will be in a lot of liquids not meant for human skin. I did not realize when I purchased them online that while the palms of the gloves have a rubberized texture, the back side of the gloves is a lightweight mesh material which liquids penetrate with no problem.

So, to make these work, I got him some surgical gloves at the Dollar store to wear underneath the work gloves to keep the chemicals from affecting his skin. The textured side of the gloves work great.

Best rubber gloves for working in the garage, thicker than most, they hold up pretty good to grease and grim

Eppco Tiger GRIP says it all. No slippage problems so far. Love them

Better quality and durability than expected. Nice texture as well.

Once again, I had a very helpful associate assist me with this item. This item is effective, well constructed and I highly recommend it. I was concerned about this item fitting me, but my concerns went out the door with help from the associate.

Once I tried this item on, it stretched to fit and I love it.

Very comfortable. Thin and grippy enough to hold some 8mm bolts while finger-tightening. I did get a decent amount of oil on the inside of the gloves, though (probably my fault for wearing reusable gloves with an oil change) and the fingers are difficult to turn inside out for washing.

That’s about it. I’ll probably get a few more pairs to be sure there’s clean ones available at all times.

These would be great exam or tattoo gloves, but they do not have any texture on them. So they do not work well when using with grease or oil. They are just too slippery, making grabbing a bolt harder.

I ordered Xl gloves and when I put on the first 2 pair they both tore at cuff. I wear X large nitrile and latex gloves in my job {ems) & have never had a problem with them. the 3 pair tore in the palm.

These x large gloves feel as though they are size large even though the box say’s X Large.

I have ordered these gloves many time in the past. Had great service but this time the gloves were not available. I am not sure why they are insisting I review this time.

Beware! Grease Monkey recently has changed both the pkg. AND the gloves AND raised the price. These used to be the best and I liked their more snug fit. These replacements are too large now, too thin and don’t last long at all.

Obviously, a totally different product now…makes me wonder why. I would go through about 100 a month and have for years. I won’t be buying anymore of these. They’re garbage. Why companies go and change everything around when they had the best product baffles me.

Bring old glove back again, otherwise I’ll be hunting for something new. Oh well.

I have been wearing nitrile gloves while working with chemicals and greasy parts for over a decade, and have been frustrated by the decline in quality of most gloves over that time. These Grease Monkey gloves are hands-down the best I have ever worn.

They are very durable and outlast my previous go-to glove by 3:1. These resist most chemicals and solvents, rarely tear even when dealing with rough or sharp items, and I’ve never had a pair split when putting them on.

I’ve even been able to reuse them after light jobs. Great value!.

I first tried these a while ago, bought O’Reilly’s last box, and I knew I needed more. I got a couple boxes from Acme Tools. They are outstanding; tough enough to handle work rougher than one might think such gloves might be suited for, and yet they transmit enough tactility to avoid serious butterfingers.

The textured grip surface is actually bona-fide without being obnoxious. Sooooooo. that’s why these are my overall favorites, and black is a good color for nitrile gloves. nothing against blue, but not everything is medical, and black goes with all colors of surgical attire anyway.

Use some hand sanitizer before operating.

I’ve used these a few times just to protect my skin from chemicals, nothing abrasive that would cause them to rip. I’m happy with them. I could have gone one size larger but I can still pull them on without too much difficulty.

The size chart is pretty much good. Depends on if you like a tight fit or little more loose. If you like a nice tight fit, go with whatever size you measure on the chart. else, go one size larger. The only thing I would say that I’m not thrilled about is the chemical smell that will be lingering on your hands when you pull these off.

It doesn’t take an Einstein to realize that if you skin smells that way, the chemical (whatever that is) is ON your skin and that’s not good. It has a similar latex smell but other than that, they work ok.

Not sure if sprinkling some baby powder in first would keep some of that smell off.

Was the best gloves I have ever used. I don’t know what happened but I went from finishing a whole job with one pair (and generally throwing away a still usable pair of gloves) to using half a box. I am using 7mil gloves and I seems like since covid the quality has been sub par.

I have to pay $35-$50 a box if I can find them unfortunately I’m not going to be able to afford to use them any longer and have to go to a cheaper off brand which at the moment seem to be holding up and better quality.

Nice and thick. I’m a long term bare hand mechanic but started wearing gloves for chem protection and easy clean up. I use these for everything from oil changes and other fluid changes, to brake jobs and suspension work.

You maintain great dexterity, feeling, and finesse.

These gloves are more like 3mil, certainly not 5mil. They are decent gloves and they get the job done. They are not premium thick gloves by a long shot, but they are not the paper thin cheap gloves either.

They fit somewhere in the middle. I’m not sure why the seller wants to claim the extra thickness, as it’s really not necessary to sell the product. If you really need the thicker gloves that are 5 to 6mil, these are not for you.

Fast Processing and shipping. 1000 Piece Pack of gloves comes in 10 individual boxes x 100 per box, neatly packed in factory box as provided from manufacturer. As they are thicker than 4mil thick, they can seem less stretchy at first, by comparison.

Simply take care in pulling them on evenly. Once on, they are confidence inspiringly sturdy with very good tactile feel. I actually wash them before I remove them and can don them a few times before I end up getting a nick or tear in one ( usually something sharp or a snag when I am doing mechanics with them).

Excellent gloves.

I had no idea that the blue dye rubs off of these glove. My companion used them to wax the car. He forgot to remove his watch from his wrist which had a white band. The watch band is covered in blue dye.

I purchased these because I am highly allergic to latex. I was wondering why my hands were sensitive to these gloves. Now I know. Also we’ve used these for food handling. Wouldn’t recommend these.

I need gloves to work with all the meat that my protein-loving son wants for supper. These are a little big for my smaller-size (female) hands, but they work. They are light, durable, easy to get on and off, and they fully protect my hands from gross things.

I also use them to clean the bathroom. I am immunocompromised, so they are a must in my life. Will definitely buy again.

These are wonderful gloves and work well – not too thin like other gloves. My husband has a hard time finding disposable gloves that fit his hands as most disposable gloves are too tight on him. His hands aren’t large but they are larger than my hands (woman).

The gloves fit me as well but are just a tad loose which I don’t mind. Overall, great gloves to use for various things – cleaning our backyard bird feeders, house cleaning, and to use during the pandemic.

Highly recommend these gloves for everyone especially guys that find other gloves too tight.

These gloves arrived slowly but within a reasonable time frame (9 days). These gloves fit well, are nice and thick without being too thick. Very textured which helps with picking things up even when wet.

I recommend these gloves for medical work or anything else you want to use them for.

Gloves are good quality but be aware that there are only 50 gloves per box so these are at least as overpriced as others and I don’t remember any information stating the small number of gloves.

the glove was very good to wear it,strong and keep my hand cover all day long with out worry. very recomended gloves.
