My experience parallels Dick's at least until I got
some Nitrile gloves from Harbor Freight (100 for 12
bucks). They seem impervious to oil, grease and gas
and are very difficult to tear. Good tactile
qualities also but you are still wearing a rubber
glove so your hands sweat like a pig.
I've always hated to work in gloves but recently
someone gave me a set of 'mechanics' gloves like you
see at Auto zone/advance, ect for about 20 bucks.
These things are GREAT. Comfortable, very good
tactile feel (in fact I can pick up a penny off the
floor), and machine washable.
Now I'm not getting as much "...your hands look
awful.." comments.
