snap on gloves
locostbuyer83 - 24/1/11 at 09:13 PM

I'm after a new pair of gloves... my mechanix ones have holes in them now!

Does anyone know where I can get a pair of these in medium...

I had a pair and they were really good.

B&Q do the same think, but with an Orange "B&Q" Snap on label. Theyre pretty good for the price.

I bought some Sparco ones from Oulton Park a few weeks ago.

They are pretty simple, but at £8 they are plenty good enough!

I also got a couple pairs of motocross gloves from a local bike clothing store a while ago. They were Alpinestars, so pretty cool, but were in the odds and sods bins and they were only a fiver I think!!!

I use these ones pretty cheap/pair (take a lot of abuse before they hole or wear out) tight fit so are good for close work.

Theyre really good, but very slimey when you get oil on them.

The Snap On gloves look really nice but I would be afraid to use them on anything oily. How long do they last and how dirty do they get? I always use the disposables and when they get mucky I just bung on a fresh pair - less than 10p per pair that way.

If you're not allergic to latex, disposable latex ones are by far the best for anything mucky/dirty and fiddly. They don't stop you skinning your knuckles though!

Nitrile gloves are a bit more expensive but harder wearing (and I guess they may not cause allergy problems?).

I've bought them fairly cheaply from Costco in the past (need to be a member, circa £20 a year)

Ditto - 200 (2 boxes of 100) are typically around a tenner.

Yeah I sometimes use them but when it's freezing it's nice to wear some proper gloves. Its also better when grinding or welding as your less likely to burn or cut yourself.
