Hi all, I’m just wondering abouth maybe the stupidest of things.
Since I’ve started watching Eric’s videos I also started imitating him by wearing latex gloves, and this effectively has reduced the dirtyness of my hands.
However every time I watch a video it seems Eric’s gloves are more resistent than the one I use.
I use simple latex gloves with talc on the inside, I buy them in 50packs but they seem to break very easily and also suffer from contact with petroleum derivatives, so I have to change them frequently.
Is there a specific mechanic-type of gloves to be used?
Thank you to everyone that will care to give me feedback on this!
Live long and prosper ( and stay dirty! )

I recently discovered the advantages of nitrile gloves. They hold up FAR better than latex gloves, plus they are resistant to chemicals, whereas latex gloves simply melt away in a parts washer or the like. I do rip them still fighting with struts and quite often by scraping them against brake backing plates.
Only thing is I can’t find a cheap supply of them. They are costing me $25 for 100 gloves/50 pairs at Canadian Tire. That ads up damn fast.
