Tom King Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I originally bought these to try for mechanic work, but have ended up using them any time I want a nitrile glove. They are many times stronger than the ordinary blue ones, and even "mechanicing", I have never torn one. i'm sure others are as good, but these work so good that I'm sticking with them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SAS-Safety-66518-Raven-Powder-Free-Disposable-Black-Nitrile-6-Mil-Gloves-Large-/162411037653?hash=item25d073c3d5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I've got a box of gloves like those that have a thin fabric lining. Can't remember the price but my finish supplier sells them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 These don't have any lining, but there is the slightest texture on the outside. I forget I have them on after a little while. They don't seem as tight and uncomfortable as the thinner blue ones. I hadn't given them much thought before, but a friend was here, borrowing my tools and shop, putting a new brake line in his truck today, and he just emailed me to ask where I got the gloves, so I had the link in my copy and paste from finding where I bought them off ebay. He really liked them too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 These are one item I don't mind buying from Harbor Freight: https://m.harborfreight.com/9-mil-nitrile-powder-free-gloves-50-pc-x-large-68512.html?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot provided Tough enough to be reusable over several jobs. Unfortunately, even the XL size is a bit snug on me, and if the temp is over 75*F, they fill with sweat in minutes. Tough, though. Pretty hard to tear unles weakened by solvents hostile to nitrile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 +1 on the HF 9mil gloves , tough but xl is tight on my big hands too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 The 6 mil on these must be just right then. I wear size Large gloves, and these couldn't fit any better, but don't know anything about their other sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankstick Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I bought three boxes of the HF nitrile gloves. No hesitation at using them once and tossing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I agree with the HF ones being super tight and making you sweat. Because of that I buy the thinner ones which means I'm not getting the protection I should be getting out of the gloves. I may have to purchase a box of these that Tom recommended.

BillyJack Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 We use to use the Ravens($10/100) at work but they were wasting them. There now using gloves from Fastenal that seem to be alright.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
