Like it or not it pays to check out FB Market Place every so often. See add other day from nearby liquidator store. So my son and I made a trip there yesterday to pick up some nitrile gloves.
I usually get my gloves from Harbor Freight and buy the 5 mil. Seeing these gloves in size large and 3mil at $20 a case. We couldn't pass up going each getting a case. I also grab a case for my brother. With taxes was $21 something for case. Been some time since bought any gloves for $2 and chage per box. Was wishing would had other sizes would have got case each.
Anyways should be good with this size for while.

Didn't want to start another post, so will add here.


Once again Story Time.

Like I stated up top I usually get the 5mm gloves from Harbor Freight. Before we had a Harbor Freight with easy to get Nitrile. I was using the latex milking gloves from FF or TCS.
The gloves that the guys posted above are good gloves depending on how you intend to use them.
What I learned being a First Responder in the days when Aids came into play. Was we could no longer go up to our elbows in the goo. We worked lots of messy calls just wash your hands when done. AIDs changed that even if your not paranoid was gloves on. We even had trouble getting decent gloves was most all were latex and failed often. At time even try to stick us with the goofy baggie type gloves you see used in the deli now.
In all that I got extremely used to using gloves even though I didn't like wearing them. Add to that a brother who was maintenance man in chemical plant. Where very easy to get exposed to any number things. He got to where he was almost paranoid.
Okay
I have now gotten to a point where I consider the gloves just plain handy. This batch is only 3mm and thats not great. But do I need 9mil or even 5mil? To put on spend 2 or 3 minutes spray painting something? Yep I would rather put on a glove to spray paint something. Than have to wash paint off my hands with minerals spirits. I don't like the smell of gasoline on my hands. So if I have gloves handy I may put a pair on just to put gas in truck. Depending on what I'm doing at time. My brother the chemical plant guy always had hands in something. He now carries gloves and toilet paper small hand sanitizer. In what he calls his panic kit, when goes in woods hunting , hiking or biking. Way easier to wipe your butt in woods with gloved hand. Than have to clean your hand with leaves or grass.
I don't know how others skin their critters. I did it for years skinning and fleshing bare handed. After my son got cat scratch fever and a fellow trapper dodge the tulremia bullet. I kinda got in habit of wear gloves for almost all my critter handling.
So anyways this score of 3 mil gloves going to get lots of use.
So is 3mil going to skin me 20 coon? I think there is pretty good chance they will. When I skinning or fleshing bunch critters. I usually go
Over my nitrile with pair cheap cotton work gloves. Keeps my hands bit warmer if things are cold. I like that I can grab and pull on greasy hide better that with the gripped type heavy nitrile gloves.
I even go so far as picking up the random dog turd. When dogs on walk takes dump where shouldn't have. I have few gloves stashed in my pocket. I can put on a pair these cheap gloves toss turd out of the way. Put on a glove I can field dress squirrels like I do. Go on my way without getting mess on anything.
Use use of gloves only limited by your imagination. Not about being paranoid or germ phobia. Just taking a couple seconds put gloves on you can toss couple minutes later. Go on to next thing even if it just answering your phone.

So again..

(How And What Do You Use Gloves For?) Others might not?

Here is how these new ones fit me.

I like these plastic miracles whip jars to keep some in. Much better rolling around back of truck or boat than cardboard box.
