General Medi Nitrile Industrial Gloves with Raised Diamond Texture, 100 Count Thick (XL)

I purchased these mostly because they were half the cost of 7mil gloves I purchased elsewhere..I hated the other nitrile gloves. There was no stretch and they were near impossible to get on. I reverted back to stretchable latex.I saw these, read the reviews, and decided to give them a try. The price was what sealed the deal.I've gone through a dozen plus pairs already. Here are my thoughts:> I didn't notice any difference between the 7mil gloves and these in terms of weight or flexibility.> The textured surface was helpful when working with dirty, oily parts.> I purchased XL size. I have large hands and these gloves were not difficult to put on. I can't say they were stretchable, but they did give enough.> I didn't experience any tears while handling metal parts.> I used these with coarse pot scrubbers. They were durable.> I wore these while working with fuel, solvents, paint, and weak acid. I didn't notice any reaction at all.UPDATE: It's been about 3 or 4 months since I wrote my original review.Not much has changed. I have used these and latex gloves about 50/50, depending on what I'm working on. This morning, I was reinstalling the front rotors/hubs on my F150. A few pairs of latex gloves (total) was easier (cheaper too) for gripping the greasy spindle nut and bearing. Yesterday, I wore these nitrile gloves to clean the hub and install the bearings because I needed the durability these offer when working with cleaning solvents and grease.I am planning to order another box because I'm almost out. The other brand, I have, hasn't been used since getting these. While these don't stretch much, there is enough give, and that makes a big difference with big hands.The price has increased 40%, since March, 2024. Could be a deal breaker. But, for now, why fix what isn't broken; the current price is not out of line.I have read some of the recent reviews. One reviewer mentioned difficulty putting the gloves back on. Perspiration will do that. Try a bit of baby powder (corn starch).Also, I read three new reviews that complained about tearing. I'm pretty tough on my gloves and none (about 90) have torn. Could be the reviewers' gloves were too small, or the manufacturing process has changed. I'll post another update after I've used some from my next box.Still gets 5 stars for durability.Update 2:I picked up a 2nd box awhile ago when there was a price drop. I'm about midway through those.I used the gloves extensively over the past few days for cleaning parts. The material seemed to break down after 10 or 15 minutes of contact with solvent. BUT, it's just so much easier to put on a new pair of these gloves rather than struggle with the "blue gloves".I was using Rustoleum Farm paint last week. These gloves held up a whole lot better than latex. It's easier to toss a pair of gloves rather than remove oil based paint from my hands.I still haven't had any gloves tear.

Tough and thick. These work well for mechanic work with cars. I’ve used these for hours at a time and have not torn a pair yet. I’m sure if you hang one on a hose clamp, it would tear, but they appear to be tougher than my skin. The texture on the gloves provides good grip. Although the gloves are thick, they are not thick enough to prevent good feel with my fingers/hands. I do think they run just a little big. I will likely size down next time.

Good gloves, tough, solid value. Better than the HF black nitrile gloves.

Measuring 2 finger walls gives us 0.25 mm which is 10mil. So a single wall is half of that, i.e. 5 mil. For the price ($10+tax), they are a reasonable choice. Also, diamond texture helps. If you really need a thicker gloves, then look for something else. I tried them in a pretty heavy-duty auto-mechanics job it they held well, not worse than HF 9mil gloves.

These gloves are strong and comfortable, good fit. There are perfect fome as work glove to protect my hands from the chemicals and greese I work with daily.

These gloves are a great value! I've had several other brands and non of them compare to these!They are super tough and druable!The sizing is on the bigger than I normally wear side.I normally wear an extra large size in these throw a way gloves, but these are a bit big on me. So if you wear a large, get large in these gloves.EDIT:I've now worn these gloves working on stuff in my garage for over a week, I've only used three gloves so far!!! Off and on, several times, in solvent, and cleaning solutions and still holding up great!I'm about to order another box of them in large because they are that good!The little nibs all over the gloves make it easy to pick things up and grasp onto handles and tools!All in all, I don't think you'll find better disposable gloves anywhere!

After trying the thin Nitrile and Latex gloves, I never thought I would ever try to wear gloves again when working on my vehicles until a friend turned me on these. Where latex and nitrile seem to disintegrate just by wearing them, these have yet to even get a hole in them. Even though they are thin, they are really tough, and oil wipes right off of them with a paper towel! I don't know that happens, but there isn't even any residue on them if I wipe them off with one of those blue shop paper towels after oil gets all over them from an oil change. In fact, I used that same pair a few days later when trimming some tree branches, and not only did they seem to be pretty darned clean after the oil change, they didn't get ruined from handling and cutting the tree branches and snapping the twigs off some of the branches. Again, I gave them a quick wipe and put them back in my tool box. Buying a box of 100 was way overkill, because at this rate I'd be surprised if I go through 10 in a year, especially since they are also easily removed from your hands .

I bought these to wear over my heavy cotton gloves for cleaning. They are thick and easily cover the gloves.
