Good nitrile gloves for mechanic work?
Looking for some good black nitrile gloves for wrenching. I'll be using alot, atleast 2 pairs a day so I want to keep cost reasonable.
I've used these
Amazon.com: Micro Flex MK296-L MidnightTM Black Large Powder Free Nitrile Examination Gloves (MFXMK296-L) Category: Medical Nitrile Gloves: Home & Garden
At $10.40 plus shipping a box i would have to buy a few boxes to make it worth my while to buy online instead of from the snap-on truck who is charging $14.20 total IIRC.
Anyone have a solid lead on some good work gloves?
Leather/nylon mechanics type gloves are not an option, I have them for hot work but I work with so many oily, greasy, dirty in general parts that they are not appropriate.

There is one locally, and they have a TON of different gloves like that.
I usually get mine for 6.99 for a box of 100 and very often they have specials/coupons making them 4.99. Very good deal.
Here is their site:
www.harborfreight.com
Online they only show 9.99 for a box. In the store they're cheaper.

I've used the micro flex a lot already, wasn't sure if anyone knew of something better or not. Figured there had to be something out there a couple bucks cheaper at similar quality.
Micro flex order on it's way.

FWIW, I use Micro Flex (large) as well. They seem to do a hell of a job. I usually use a pair for a while and when they fill up with sweat or I finish a job I strip them off, hang them up inside out to dry out, and then use compressed air to turn them back again a day or so later. A pair lasts me quite a while and I usually have 3-4 pairs "in-use" at a time. I replace both hands when one rips...

As I said, I turn them inside out and let them air out. I guess they have bacteria and stuff growing on them but it would be the same as your skin. FWIW, I've worked at a chemical company for 20 years and I wear leather gloves several hours a day. I usually keep them clean on the outside so one pair will last several months. In the 20 years I had a problem with some sort of rash on my hands only one time (about 3 years ago) but I cannot tell you if it was glove related or not.

I use the Harbor Freight double layered industrial ones. Work pretty well, but will break up if using brake parts cleaner. I use them only for oily jobs as apparently my hands sweat a lot. If one breaks getting a sweaty hand into a new one is tough. I prefer the leather Mechanic's style gloves for most jobs. HF has those cheap as well. These:

are on sale for $5 through the end of the month and are pretty comfortable. I'm going to buy several more just to have around.
