4 different kinds, what gloves other than the disposible nitrile ones in the box do you all use for parts cleaning, herbicides/insecticides, and general purpose, "I do NOT want that on my skin" ?
Or do you mostly use the disposables only?
I do, but brake and choke cleaner turns them to slime.
So, I'm inquiring what you use for re-usable, not clumsy rubber gloves.

Since all disposable gloves seem to tear for me I use HD gloves that cleaners use to swab toilets and the like.
OK, a bit clumsy to use but then my hands remain close to acceptably clean.
I learned to give them a burst of WD40 and quick wipe so they remain fairly presentable.

From cleaning those gloves with WD40 I next sprayed my hands at some point.
What a surprise, the dirty grease simply floated off with a simple wipe of a rag and simple hand wash with regular bar of soap had them mealtime clean.

I use mostly the disposable nitrile gloves since they work in most conditions. There are a few (carb cleaner) that they don't. If only for a moment, i'll use nitrile, but only short duration. I do have a pair of the metalized barrier gloves if i'm going to be using carb cleaner much. The others I use are leather gloves for abrasion, and sometimes cotton gloves. I'll also use leather over nitrile if I need waterproof abrasion resistant. I'm also not adverse to damaging the gloves such as dunking leather in water to work under water. I prefer the nitrile because they're for fitting, but can't wear them more than 30 minutes due to sweating hands. I also have cornstarch in the shop for my hands when I have to put on a second pair.
