Black Lightning Nitrile Gloves 6 Mil, Disposable Powder-Free Exam & Work Gloves, Heavy Duty Chemical Resistant, Food Safe, Medical & Mechanic Gloves, Black, XXL , 100 Count

I just bought my fourth box in 3 years or so. How they fit and what you use them for are two good question to ask yourself. These fit my hand well and are a nice compromise for thickness and durability. I would recommend light for shop garage/shop use.

I have tried close to a dozen different makes and models of disposable gloves. I tried different materials - latex, nitrile, vinyl and all the other makers seem to be either incapable (or unwilling) to make a glove that fits tightly and yet is strong enough not to tear easily. Black Lightning (Atlantic Safety Products Lightning) gloves are the only on the market that offer predictable and tight fitting sizes and are also incredibly strong to resist tearing up even under heavy duty use (working on your car, construction, gunsmithing or whatever else you can throw their way). The price reflects the quality, but how much are your hands worth to you, especially if torn glove results in contact with some nasty chemicals or something else that you're trying to keep from keeping in contact with your skin? Not to mention that time wasted washing hands or changing gloves is also a waste of productivity and therefore money. Here is a sizing tip though. These gloves are sized according to the normal "dress glove" size charts. So, if your dress glove size is Small, you should order the Black Lightning gloves in size Small. Even if the fit ends up being tighter than expected, given their strength they will still work for you. You should obviously make sure they're not overly tight though - if you notice drop in blood circulation then remove them immediately and go for the next larger size. Look for Lee Parks Designs Glove Size Chart online if you don't know your actual dress/riding glove size. Ciao!

Good price on some very high quality nitrile gloves. I've used a lot of the thinner light blue nitrile gloves and they're usually good enough, but they'll usually tear after a few hours of use. I've also used heavier dark blue semi-disposable nitrile gloves that are almost impossible to tear but they're so thick that I lose the feel that I need when working with my hands. The Black Lightning nitrile gloves are the perfect thickness for shop use. They're very durable but I can still feel what I'm doing. They're great to keep cutting oil and coolant off my hands when machining, and they're good to keep anodizing dye and mild acids off my hands when doing various chemical processes. For sulfuric acid and concentrated acids, I have longer chemical resistant gloves, but the Black Lightening gloves are good to protect against exposure to most chemicals such as fertilizer, pesticides, lead dust and oxides, etc. These gloves will also protect you from Ebola, which might come in handy.

These are really tough and durable gloves. The only fault that I was able to find is that they're not cheap. I solved that problem by stocking two kinds. Cheap vinyl gloves where they have to be changed often for hygienic reasons, and these for heavier-duty tasks. I can't find any fault with them (so far anyway).

These gloves are thick, tight fitting, and flexible, as advertised. Thicker than most kinds of gloves, but compared to the last box of gloves I bought, Im disappointed. These arent as tough, and not as flexible, but also cheaper than another brand. I use them for automotive work with hand tools. These gloves hold up fine for maybe an hour (or less) before they rip somewhere. Im comparing this to other gloves Ive used that can last the whole job, or maybe one glove change if Im doing something hard. Still, these gloves hold up pretty well, and provide decent protection from little scrapes and scratches. I'll buy the more expensive brand next time, but Im not mad at these. I'll use them until theyre gone. I'd totally recommend them for lighter or quicker tasks.

These are the best for garage work. They do not rip easily and don’t stick to your hands when putting them on like typical blue gloves.

Gloves hold up well in heavy truck shop. Been using them for years work well for me.

I purchased this glove as a safety glove to keep my hands clean when I am among infectious people/objects. I did not know at the time about lightning gloves, I brought it because it is black, and I wanted something that was not as noticeable. I was going to use it in an area where others do not use gloves, and I did not want others to be asking me why was I wearing them. (I am a little bit of a germ phobic. These gloves are strong, fit tightly, and protects your hands. Two thing I notice is that my hands had perspiration when I remove the gloves. Also they are not as flexable as I thought. I purchase 2 different brands of gloves that day, this one my hands perspires less than the other one I use, but this one is also more expensive. I have to say I use the other one more, mostly because it is more flexable, and cheaper. I am reserving this one for heavier use because it is stronger and more expensive, and I do not want to waste it. I would recommend this one for real heavy duty jobs, if not buy a cheaper brand if it is for another use other than stated.
