Where do you get your nitrile gloves?

[Padre]

I have been looking on eBay and other sites for nitrile gloves. I have usually gotten the blue ones because they are less expensive than the black.

Does anyone know of a really good source for nitrile gloves? Or should I just stick with eBay. I can get 1000 for $57.95, or .06 each. Thanks!

I get mine from Harbor Freight as there is a store close to my house.

Shiznit! I have one close too!! Thank you!

HF has them on sale regularly.

At HF they are 6.99 per 100 so depending on what you pay for shipping on Ebay vs any sales tax HF might be just more convenient

Harbor Freight, they have X-Large that fits nicely to my hands and they are fairly cheap.

Harbor Freight is the least expensive. Home Despot has them for a bit more.

HF here too! However, I use the latex because they are cheaper. Is there a benefit to using the nitrile gloves?

Nitrile gloves suck the big one. I'll stick with Latex, thank you very much.

I talk to my dentist. He orders my gloves when he gets his. I get a much better price than HD, etc and he gets to move up to the next discount level.

From the abandoned house next door when the realtor finally got around to cleaning and leaving HUGE DUMPSTERS FULL of stuff out front, including enough nitrile gloves to last till the cows come home

From the box in my basement that I have had there forever. I rarely use them so I don't think I will run out anytime soon, lol.

Yea... what is the difference?

My other hobby is photography. I use both latex and nitrile in my darkroom - latex for film processing where I appreciate both the snuggness and the enhanced ability to feel through the gloves, and nitrile for other processes where the ability to easily and quickly take them on and off matters. I find that latex gloves are essentially one-shot - use them once and throw them away, while nitrile can be reused several times.

In pen making, gloves are used while finishing, and there the issue is that when CA cures it generates so much heat that either form of glove melts.

Nitrile is resistant to some solvents. Also, some people are allergic to latex.

My own preference is the HF 2-ply latex/nitrile gloves. They seem to stand up better than plain blue nitrile for only a dollar a box more. I recently tried the black nitrile gloves but will never by them again. They fall apart in no time when exposed to acetone.

Regards,

One can become sensitive to latex after repeated long exposure to them. This is most true of powdered latex gloves. Latex sensitivity can be very dangerous since so much in our lives is made of some form of latex. Those of us who use gloves to keep safe at our jobs have switched to nitrile as it doesn't seem that a sensitivity develops as easily. Some research points to the powder in the latex gloves. I get my nitrile gloves from Costco.

Nitrile for the same reason already listed. Buy them at the local Ace Hardware store. Always in stock at a good price and there is no waiting or postage.
