SHOWA727-08 Chemical Resistant Gloves,Nitrile,M,PR

These gloves are totally worth it for me.... the very first pair has lasted me 6 weeks (because the left glove got a tiny poke hole).At least 50% of my work involves washing automobile transmission parts in big tubs of mineral spirits. With regular store bought nitrile gloves (the short black or blue ones), i go through 2 pairs per day easily due to ruptures or pokes (and this while being careful handling the parts). So, with the same level of cautiousness, these Showa gloves lasted 6 weeks!!! Today i punctured the left one because i was careless, and didn't mind tossing the used and abused pair.These gloves are tough, and took quite a beating (a few near nicks and cuts). Not only am I saving money, but no more varsol going inside because of the long sleeve.Verdict: buy this, worth it. Just be mindful of nicks and cuts...be careful and gentle...they last a long time.

I've always purchased the cheap gloves from the dollar store to use for dish-washing... and I found myself replacing them several times a month. So I set out to find some tougher gloves that were more resistant to punctures & rips, a pair that would last longer than a week or two. I was very pleased to find this deal!! I've been using the same pair for a month now and I am super happy with how durable they've been! No rips yet! I can tell they're going to last a lot longer than the cheap ones. I'm also amazed with the price! For 12 pairs, this is a steal! I'd definitely recommended them for dish-washing and various household tasks...you could probably use them for gardening as well. Great purchase. UPDATE: Several months later, still using the same pair!

We bought these gloves as replacements for disposable nitrile gloves. They do tend to get wet with sweat inside and need to be dried out, unless you don't mind that gicky, slimey, cool feeling when you get back into your gloves. But that's to be expected. And they are not quite as sensitive as nitrile gloves. But they are tougher than nitrile and should last a long time. Also they give better wrist/arm protection than nitrile. They fit fairly snug and you don't have to worry about them flying off your hand, at least not if you have the right size. All in all a good buy.

Since these gloves last a long time you really need to dry them out thoroughly after use or the sweat from your hands will eventually cause them to smell bad. I think stinky bacteria like the damp space. What I do is stick a cardboard tube inside and lean it upright against a wall over the register from a furnace.

These gloves are similar to very good quality rubber gloves, sturdy and durable while still being thin enough to feel things through while washing something. And, 12 pairs for such a great price is pure bonus (Warehouse Deals, again). Highly recommended - especially for anyone with a latex allergy! :)
