Stronger disposable gloves

[davidpbo]

I seem to pierce or tear latex gloves easily, are the stronger ones nitrile?

You want nitrile. Strongly recommended based on a lot of experience are Ansell Tough n Touch nitrile. The absolute dogs do dahs of disposible gloves - especially the un powdered ones which dont suck all the moisture out of your hands
Suggest you google as above or

I use both nitrile ( the blue ones) and vinyl. The vinyl are marginally stronger IMO but less stretchy.

I think it was vinyl I bought from Toolsation and they tore easily. Halo, thank you for the recommendation, I have bought some nitrile off Ebay (not of the make you recommend unfortunately) and will see how I get on.

I use several pairs daily and nitrile is definitely the way to go. I don't know why we used latex for so long, cheaper I guess.

Euro car parts is a useful source of nitrile gloves if there is a branch near you.

I generally use heavy duty Marigolds as they can be taken off many times during a job. In case anyone doesn't know, the easiest way to turn them right way out again is to hold them by the wrist and move the air around inside to pop the fingers back out.

Costco do some nitrile gloves that are thicker and much more durable than most disposables. They are more expensive (~£8/100) but worth it for heavy duty jobs.

Talking of heavy duty disposable gloves, has anyone found any similar butyl gloves?
