GLOVEWORKS Medium Duty Black Nitrile Gloves for Auto, Mechanics, XL, 100 Count

This is my first time trying these black nitrile gloves from Gloveworks. These are listed as latex free, textured, powder-free, and non-sterile. They are described as not for medical use. The box did not list the mil thickness of the gloves; it just describes them as industrial. There is a list of fourteen items to which the gloves are chemically resistant to listed on the box. Some key items are solvents, lacquers, gasoline, grease, silicates, paint thinners, hydraulic oil, transmission fluid, hydraulic oil and others, but this gives you an idea of what they are good for. I normally use blue nitrile gloves that I purchase at the local Harbor Fright, so I compared them to the blue nitrile gloves, which were listed as 5 mil thickness, and it appears that the black nitriles are thicker. While the gloves were on my hand I tried to tear one of the black nitrile gloves unsuccessfully while grabbing at the wrist. On the other hand, I could not tear the blue nitriles either. I then grabbed the palm of the blue nitrile glove, and I was able to somewhat easily tear out the palm. I was unable to do this with the black nitrile gloves. They definitely seem much stronger. Now the blue nitrile glove box states that the gloves are medium duty. The Gloveworks box does not say. That said, I would certainly recommend these gloves over the 5 mil blue nitriles.

Nice disposable gloves, they don't rip on the first stretch like many other brands do. These are some nice, thick, gloves. While working on my car doing routine maintenance, i was able to do more than one task before disposing of the gloves. The fit was also nice, they held their fit during usage as well. The glove didn't make my hands sweat right after putting them on, as others have done. I would recommend these gloves to family and friends, if you try them, you'll probably be glad you did. Strong, nice feel, quality disposable gloves.
