The best, most comfortable work glove I've ever used., May 2, 2011
[Edit: I found them at the local Ace Hardware store. I bought another pair. They're great. How many products under $10 can make you happy?]
We gone through many, many work gloves over the years. More often than not, we didn't use them because they weren't comfortable, hands got wet, couldn't get them cleaned. There was always a reason we wouldn't put the work gloves on. I've got a bunch of them lying around in the house and garage.
I was working with mulch and got a splinter deep under my fingernail. My doctor couldn't remove it (go figure) and sent me to the emergency room. Did I learn? No, the next year the same thing happened again. My wife ruins her fingers, nails and jewelry because she won't wear gloves.
I picked the first pair up from some local store (I don't know where) and I started using them. Wow, they're really comfortable. And the wife is actually using them too.
So now my wife and I are 'fighting' over who gets to wear the gloves. We go to a number of stores to buy another pair and I can't find the exact same brand. There are other gloves in the stores but the rubber doesn't go up far enough on the back of the fingers (fingernail side) so if you're working with wet dirt, your hands will get wet.
These are also hand washable. Put a bit of ordinary dish soap on them, scrub them up a bit, rinse and let dry overnight.
Unlike leather gloves, they mold to your fingers. You forget that you're wearing gloves almost immediately. And since the gloves are rubbery, when you're working with tools you have a much better grip.
Since I couldn't find these exact gloves locally, I put the name into Amazon and found them. I ordered a pair.
* Your hands stay dry even when working with wet dirt.
* The gloves have enough cloth so your hands don't get sweaty.
* The rubber palms give you a lot more gripping ability when working with tools.
* They're hand washable.
* They're much more comfortable than leather gloves or other cloth/rubberized gloves that we've tried.
* Dirt doesn't get down the fitted gloves.
* Unlike leather gloves, these take up very little space. Put them into your pocket when you're done working them.
* These are light-duty garden gloves. You wouldn't want to use them to move several cords of wood or handle very nasty rose thorns.
But a pair or two. I guarantee that you'll absolutely love them and the price is extremely reasonable (about six bucks) and with Prime, free shipping.

So far, so good., December 14, 2009
This review is from: Atlas NITRILE-TOUCH Equestrian Glove (Misc.)
I bought a pair of the NT370BBK nitrile gloves at Outlet Tool Supply. Wore them for a day and then went back for three more pair. Never sure where you can find these, so it's great to see them on Amazon.
I do carpentry, etc. and my fingers dry out and crack. I need protection. I have been wearing Harbor Freight carpenter gloves with exposed thumb and first two fingers. These were a good buy - but no longer in catalog. I needed something new.
The heavier coated knit gloves have been working well. I use them in lieu of leather gloves for moving lumber, painting, etc. But I need protection and dexterity. These seem to do the job.
They fit well enough that I can do precision work - like starting a #6 plate screw in a splice box. I have not worn any holes in them thus far. They keep my hands clean and a bit moist. I have been putting on hand cream, then the gloves and thus far, no cracks for several weeks. Thus far, a Happy Camper.
