Latex gloves give decent protection, as long as you're not allergic to the stuff.
It brings me out in a rash, so I have to use the vinyl ones - which aren't so good.
I think the next batch I buy will be the nitrile type - as tough as latex and just as flexible - but more expensive. They usually come in blue or
purple, and can be bought in various thicknesses, including some for garage use (and farm use, I seem to recall).

I use whichever is cheapest at the auto jumble.
Best bit is, when swmbo shouts lunch is ready, I'm there straight away with clean hands, but it isn't really ready she's allowed
washing time

I've found the powder free ones from here Gloveman to be
very good. Tougher than most I've had from car shops.

The same ones that the doc uses when he asks you to touch your toes.
Not those ones in the garage that make your hands look like you're Mickey & Minnies love child.

I was the exact opposite - never having stripped an old engine down before, I read all the books. All said that old engine oil is harmful to your
skin, so I wore some latex gloves. When I took them off after a few hours my hands were bright red and sore - this lasted a few days.

worst stuff is the oil engine, that is nasty and contains lots of chemical you don't want on your skin. I only use the gloves when spraying to
stop greasy marks wreaking the paint. Rest of the time I don't bother but if I get old oil on then I wash it off pronto.

sounds like you were allergic to something in the gloves, you can buy no allergic types, I also find my hands sweat to much in cloves rather gross

i use the following all the time:
http://www.utilitysafeguard.com/9696-Ultratech-Gray-PU-Gloves
Can be reused many times, have a sort of rubber coating on the inside wich gives very good grip and doesn't let oil thru. And they breath (at
the top side)! So no sweaty hands afterwards. Though not to be used with liquids as it will come thru at some point.
But also protects your hands from being cut when working in difficult places.

Nitrile ones- they are much stronger than latex ones but fit much better than pvc ones. I use Ansell touch-n-tough which are available from Arco
stores over the counter retail or off web site.
http://www.arco.co.uk/products/1550100/29398/Ansell_Touch_N_Tuff_Green_Powdered_Glove
They are relatively expensive but come in 4 different sizes and powdered or unpowdered. You gets what ya pay for i'm afraid........

I have a pair like those of Werners but from a firm called Click 2000. I use them for general wear and use the nitrile ones when doing oily or paint
related stuff. They are cheap when you buy them from the local parts shop.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

latex free medical gloves are the way to go, if you wear latex gloves a lot you can become alergic, and if you are alergic to latex it limits your
options for contrecption somewhat....
This isn't pie in the sky either, my wife works for the NHS in risk management, and they have policies on it! Got to protect the surgions todge!

Thats what they use on the line at work (well, diffrent brand, but the same) and they are pretty good, and dont rip. Although like all gloves they
take some geting used to and can be a problem for very fine work.

Apart from risking an allergic reaction on your willy, you can also have problems when you visit the dentist* - before I knew that I was allergic to
latex, I used to notice that the corners of my mouth were sore after having any treatment that took some time, e.g. major fillings. Now he wears
nitrile gloves, and I no longer get that problem.
Until recently I couldn't wear elastoplasts either - I found out that they used latex in the glue (in fact, that may be what sensitised me).
Nowadays they don't use it, so they're OK.
* that can be read wrongly!

Nitrile Gloves EVERY time. They are NON allergic, they DO NOT fall apart when in contact with fuels and oils and are worth every penny.
One of the biggest causes of death of motor mechanics used to be Testicular cancer. I'll leave you all to work out why.
Just ask yourself what value you put on your life, 0 pence (no gloves), 2 pence (a pair of laytex gloves), or, 50 pence for a pair of nitrile gloves.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Yep, Nitrile or Nylon.
You can get nylon ones from a chemist for less that latex from a car place.

One of ALDI's special offers is pack of 10 Nitrile gloves for £1.99 - Should still be some instore as it was only on their website a few days
ago (From Thursdays offers)
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
