GLOVEWORKS Industrial Black Nitrile Gloves

As advertized.

These appeared to be a really good deal and had pretty good reviews, so I bought some. After six months and numerous uses, my experience is that they tear way too easy and often. I don’t really even get one use out of them…whereas the Venom Steels gave me numerous uses. So, it’s back to the Venom Steels for me

I bought size X-Large, and it is exactly the right size for me. They even make a bigger size, XX-Large. My fingers are fairly long, so almost any gloves they might have at the supermarket will indeed fit onto my hands, but then I will feel like I have webbed fingers, like a duck. The gloves are stretchy, so you can pull them all the way on, but if the fingers are not long enough, there will be webbing between my fingers full of air. With these gloves in X-Large, the glove fingers are at least as long as my own fingers. This is how gloves SHOULD fit, because having the glove stretched over your finger makes it resist bending in your finger, as the rubber along the top of your finger gets stretched even more. These gloves are THICK, which is what I wanted. This manufacturer makes a thinner glove. These are not medical exam gloves and will not give fine touch perception. Rather, these gloves are good for cleaning things with steel wool without tearing them to pieces. These gloves are durable enough that they never tear while pulling them on. However, if you do manage to puncture the glove, the tear will spread like wildfire, as is the case with all gloves of this type, both nitrile synthetic rubber (like these) and natural latex rubber (the classic material that causes allergies for some people). These gloves are not powdered, which I prefer. Unlike more expensive gloves (which are often medical exam gloves), these do not have a thick or reliable bead around the wrist. These do have a subtle bead (a ring of thicker material at the very edge), but it is quite thin and it is not consistent in thickness, and it curls in places. Do not count on these gloves to snap tight against your wrist and totally prevent sweat from dripping out the bottom. Lacking a tight bead on the wrist is not necessarily a bad thing, it can be uncomfortable, especially if you plan to wear the gloves for a long time. These gloves are subtly textured, I am not sure if it makes a difference. I can certainly open tightly closed bottles with these gloves on, so thats good. Despite frequent warnings that latex rubber and nitrile rubber are not resistant to organic solvents, these gloves have never shown any signs of weakening when exposed to solvents ranging from hexane to diethyl ether. Ether does penetrate the gloves to a small extent, such that my skin will smell like ether afterward. Isopropanol does not penetrate the gloves at all, my skin remains odorless. These gloves are likely completely impenetrable to water, but it is impossible to know because my hands can excrete sweat, so finding water on my skin doesnt mean anything.

works great on cars

No, Im not bragging. I have large long fingers and most fit everyone gloves dont fit or break when Im trying to put them on. The extra thickness makes these really good for weeding in the yard where thin gloves break as soon as a little tiny rock touches the surface. Good for working on cars or painting as well, just remember to remove them before too much sweat builds up!

These gloves are really hit and miss. Sometimes I get a box and theyre great, sometimes I get a box and theyre almost melted together. Its kind of strange. XL is small on my hands but I have huge hands. For the money, theyre really good even if you do get a weird box every once in a while. I go through a box about every 3 weeks.

These are great gloves for almost any use. They will tear if around sharp objects, but they are also the most durable latex glove for the money. Ive done mechanic work with them and they work for most applications as long as I dont catch them on something sharp. Ive bought them over and over and really like them.

I have gone through several hundred of these medium duty gloves now and have used them for everything including; preparing meals, house cleaning, auto maintenance, and glove liners for my drain cleaning chores with a powered drain snake. I foolishly gave myself a nasty cut on my good hands thumb an actually used one of the gloves specifically as protection over the wound dressing while working until it healed sufficiently to be out unprotected again. I have ruined exactly one glove attempting to pull it on over my deformed left hand and only a couple while in use during extremely rigorous use. They are as good as Gloveworks says they are. They even have a heavy duty version if more protection is required and Id be willing to bet they are as advertised as well and worth great reviews too. These gloves have proven reliable and valuable enough to me that my last order was for a case (1000 gloves) to take advantage of the quantity savings available by doing so. Well worth the confidence and cost in my opinion.

Reasonable price

Good stuff
