Choose The Right Gloves For The Job

Most mechanics use nitrile gloves since they give an almost bare-hand feel with good grip and are resistant to virtually all automotive fluids and lubricants. http://www.eastwood.com/nitrile-gloves-disposable-extra-large.html They will not however, withstand harsh chemicals and paint strippers. Nitrile gloves are also among the least expensive. They are also, somewhat tear resistant although they won’t protect your knuckles form being skinned or finger form being cut. For this you would need heavier fabric mechanics gloves.

Heavy Vinyl gloves are best for protection against harsh chemicals, acids and paint strippers and also have great abrasion resistance for use with blasting apparatus. http://www.eastwood.com/harsh-environment-and-abrasive-blasting-gloves.html These are usually quite thick.
