yes, HF sells the black ones too.  they are more money for half as many 
in a box.I have found that the napa ones or medical supply ones do 
pretty well.  THey are maybe 50% more $ than the HF ones on sale, but 
you use maybe half as many.


 I have used a few of the black ones too.  They are  nice to have on 
hand for stuff that you know will tear the smurf ones.

That's what I do also. A pair of the thiner blue ones and then a pair 
of the thicker black ones. That way if I have to do something cleaner 
I can get the black dirty gloves off easily and then back on again for 
more dirty work. Usually by the time I'm done both pairs are all torn 
up and my hands have some dirt on them but still a lot easier to clean.

I've never used the HF ones, I get em at FLAPS. The gloves are halfway between 
crap and critical...
Super good when working with fuel though, keeps the stink off, or at least

I like them.  I use the blue nitrile ones, also from HF.  I buy them by the 100 
box and replace as needed; because they rip easy.  There is no faster or more 
effective way to get clean hands after working on oily, sooty Diesel stuff.  
They are indispensable for working with polysulfide, like POR 15.  These gloves 
give me better grip than bare skin with little loss of touch feel.  They wipe 
fairly clean with a paper towel when gooky.  My main problem was sweat, 
especially when I lived in FL.  The gloves would fill with water and drip in my

Kaleb, I think gloves are the way to go.  I buy the nitrile gloves in boxes of 
100.  I think it’s called Black Raven or something like that, and you can get 
them at O’reilly’s or on Amazon Prime.  Last batch I bought was O’Reilly’s and 
they were on sale.  They hold up pretty well, and they’re cheap enough that you 
don’t mind throwing them away.

Glove up!  Always. Have done it for years, even before it was popular.  Waste 
oil is carcinogenic, and while I’ve certainly been exposed to enough chemicals 
over the years to trigger a cancerous reaction of some kind, I figure it’s 
cheap insurance to cut down the odds, or at least delay things.  Not to mention 
that I don’t have to scrub my arms, hands and fingernails raw to get myself 
clean when I’m done.

And God how I detest that orange crap.

I've never used the HF ones, I get em at FLAPS. The gloves are halfway between 
crap and critical...
Super good when working with fuel though, keeps the stink off, or at least 
minimized.

Something you can do to make hand clean up easier after working on your car is 
to put some heavy moisturizer on beforehand. Grease will have less to stick to.
