Work gloves - what to buy - Home Depot HDX suck!
What disposable gloves are you guys using to work on your cars? I bought a box of the paper thin Home Depot HDX gloves and they tear if you sneeze on them. Looking for a more robust option.

I have been using 9mil “Hardy” brand gloves from Harbor Freight and find that they don’t rip nearly as easily as their 6-7mil gloves did.
I’ll also use true mechanic’s gloves if I am doing some task where durability is needed. Hope that helps.......

These are the best I've tried. They're twice the cost as the thin ones but last at least for time as long. I just keep reading them until the finally rip. Plenty of feel through then with some texture for grip.

I'm also good with Costco nitrile exam gloves. I've restored several old British sports cars and they've stood the test of 50 year old rust and grease. Not happy with Horrible Freight ones but I may have had a bad batch. I only use "mechanics gloves" when I'm working around hot stuff; exhaust, etc. Otherwise they get too greasy and become useless.

Blue 5mm Harbor Freights seems to be ideal for me. I sweat a lot in gloves too so I constantly have to take them off, let my hands breathe, and get back into it. If I don't use disposable gloves and working on something hot, then I switch to the Mechanix gloves. They've really helped when I've had to take off wheels after a drive or work near the engine.

Ansell Hyflex cut resistant nitrile coated gloves are amazing. They are supposed to be disposable, but I find they last close to a year. You can also slip latex over the top for truly messy operations.

It depends on what you do. If its wheel brake stuff then the black nitriles are great and if its wrench work I like the doe skin gloves.

For anything involving liquids or when you need the dexterity to ensure you don't drop a bolt into an abyss,
For other jobs, I have a set similar to the Ansel Hyflex ones posted.

Same. The thicker gloves make my hands sweat profusely, so I usually end up taking them off mid-project, but the thinner ones would always snag on hard parts and tear.

Thanks guys. Bought some of the Costco gloves and I'll get to try them out when I replace the valve cover gaskets in my kid's 2000 4Runner 3.5.
