Xtremeauto Nitrile Gloves - Disposable, Diamond Grip Orange, Powder-Free & Latex-Free - Extra Thick & Strong Rubber for Mechanics (2 Boxes, Large)

Well, first off, these were advertised as "extreme grip" gloves or something, featuring a gorilla. Maybe they got into a sticky situation with a certain glue manufacturer of a similar name? I don't know, but "grizzly grip" with a cartoon bear is way better anyway! As you can see, the box isn't very easy to open. That's because it's absolutely packed full of gloves, and they've used the minimum packaging possible. That's absolutely fine by me! Ever gotten an appliance that plugs in, and they have the mains lead carefully wrapped in plastic, with a wee tie, then the plug prongs have a solid plastic cover? Why?! Who's going to complain over a speck of dust or a scratch on something you'll never see? So, top marks for packaging and minimising waste. As for the gloves, they're "gripped" on both sides equally, so it doesn't matter how you put them on. As for the grip... Yes, it's definitely there! Oil does reduce this a bit, but they're still far better than bare skin. The thing I was looking for most of all, though, was strength. Most gloves are pretty thin, which yes, provides more tactile feedback, but we're not performing heart surgery here (unless you own a Peugeot!) ;-) These are still a little bit thin, so you can still feel most of what you're handling, but more than thick enough to stand up to pretty much anything. It's a great balance. The acid test? Putting them on over damp hands... Anyone who uses a product like this will know it's an exercise in futility. Things will just tear. These still put up a fair bit of resistance, but that's just physics. You can, however, switch gloves fairly quickly with a bit of tugging. The "collars" going up your wrists are also a decent enough length, about 2cm longer than average. I was recently changing a cooker hood which had been in place for over 40 years. The property had been a rental before I bought it. You can imagine the greasy mess that I faced... Now, I live in a pretty remote area, so all I could get locally were vinyl gloves with so much powder in them I could easily pass for Tony Montana after scratching my nose... Those gloves were about as useful as a fart in a spacesuit. In another 40 years, when I come back from the dead to do the cooker hood again, my ghostly hands will be well-protected, I guess. TL;DR - solid gloves, best I've found, will buy again.

Ensure correct size following glove sizing. These gloves are tough, thickness still gives feel to when worn handling tools and grippy. Resists grease and oil, not had a problem with these gloves, but destroying cheaper version gloves, as I have experienced, the thinner vinyl style break apart and no grip. Usage for car and motorcycle mechanics, if not too dirty, can be reused, against cheaper vinyl gloves. These fit my purpose and work longer than the cheaper gloves. I highly recommend these as great value for money and the ease of use.

Ordered these before do exactly as asked of them

Good gloves but they seem to tear rather easily. Might be user error, I use them for oven cleaning and can normally use one pair for a couple of jobs but these tear halfway through the first job.

Been really good so far, I was surprised with the quality, one pair of gloves for a 45 min fix is not bad id usually be bursting gloves after 5 mins. Easy to get on from what I have used so far. Would recommend and will be purchasing these gloves from now on. Thank you for making a good product

These are excellent, so handy for every job. I keep a pair next to the kitchen sink and use them for washing up. My husband wore them to repair his lawn mower. Very versatile and hard wearing. Not too thick, and the sizing is okay. My husband is a medium and I’m a small. The medium size is comfortable for us both.

Only used once so far but very impressed. Very strong and lasted the job which I wasn’t expecting.

Super very strong
