[@MCKoolperson9]

I've tried most of the gloves in this comparison. As a concrete worker, dexterity doesn't matter quite as much as abrasion resistance. When I can find them, I always buy the venom steel chemical gloves, they are blue, 13 mil, latex gloves. They are cheap enough that they can be considered disposable, but durable enough that I don't mind taking care of them. I will go through 20 pairs of venom steel nitrile gloves in a day, but I've had single pairs of the chemical gloves last me up to a week

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

Those were also the best gloves I found working in the oilfield. And I tried everything at every price throughout the years. Excellent brand.

[@RANDOMNATION907]

I use to get gloves that where blue and had a longer cuff, like the Hardy 7 mil, but where two layer like the the venom steel. Had a soft white lining that prevented my fingers from pickling. Total thickness was 14 mil. They usually lasted me about a week, and sometimes I tossed a pair because they got too smelly. I'm retired now but, at the time I was an auto mechanic. I think they were called Blue Diamond-14L.

Very cool how you created pretty fair testbeds for each of these catagories. Over the years I find there are a few things I enjoy about your videos more than anything; 1: creative tests customized for each product, 2: consistency within reason (your not a lab but the fact that your tests are hearty, reproducible,still pretty precise by providing reasonable and most importantly believable results with minimal places for errors that would greatly affect any results is refreshing.) 3: the absolute widest array of testing, of both products and different tests All in one place for the world to see!

[@troytrecek6041]

Hi Todd! I really appreciate the effort you expend to do fair, accurate testing. I have a suggestion for you. A lot of people have ATVs and UTV’s for farm and recreation. Most have foam air filters. The “experts“ suggest using special expensive foam filter oil. We used to use regular engine motor oil. Some suggest bar and chain oil would work because it is much tackier than motor oil. Even heard 80w-90 oil might adhere better than motor oil. I think this would be of interest to lawn mower owners as well. Please consider. Keep up the great work!

[@benbawden3589]

I don’t really know if this is what your asking about, but he has a 26 video playlist exclusively on different kinds of motor oil which may be what you’re describing. Idk much about oil so sorry if that is unrelated

[@kde5fan737]

If you want tacky oil get some castor oil! I'm guessing this might be what is used for bar oil, possibly sulfonated castor oil b/c of the red tint. They both have a very high smoke point (I think the highest of any naturally occurring plant based oil..). You can find high quality castor oil at soap making supply shops for $18-25/gal IIRC.

[@ehkale6789]

I would think the filter would have more of a significant role in doing its job than the oil placed on it, I always thought the oil was only there to help the filter out with picking up really fine particulates, so as long as it lingers and doesn’t come off or remove itself in someway it should all do the same right? We used to just throw any old oil on our dirt bike air filters. Although I guess it doesn’t matter really if said filter is serviced fairly often.

[@jensenmiller6410]

Thanks so much! Thanks for suggesting this video idea!

[@janeblogs324]

I wish you had an email list warning us of future tests asking for our suggestions on how to conduct each test. 13:39 you need to test vapour resistance not liquid. I use nitrile gloves while automotive painting. The paint thinners are toluene, xylene, iso-cyanides. You don't get "wet" through the gloves, but if you sniff your fingers after work you can tell you were being exposed and poisoned the whole time. Your fingers/skin also drys out and crack even though you never got wet. Basically the vapour particles are much smaller than the liquid so it passes through the glove. I'm still looking for quality gloves.

The HF 9 mil gloves pre-pandemic were so much better than they are now. I used to be able to re-use them 3 or 4 times before they ripped. Now they cost more, and they seem to rip way easier, and I find myself using 2 sets for one job, instead of one set for 2 or 3 days. If you hold them up to light now, you can see light through them. I'm pretty sure the old ones were a lot thicker and you couldn't see nearly as much light through them.

[@jamesschmidt1120]

I would have to disagree. They are pretty prone to tearing and will rip easily if you catch an edge somewhere, and their abrasion resistance is not great. I’ve tried using them while cleaning with a scotch brite and in no time at all there are holes in the fingers. I’ve used glove works with better results but I’m sure there is a product that will outlast them both

I've used Grease Monkey gloves for a the past few years. They're pretty good all around gloves at a decent price.

It would be really interesting to see grip strength measured after exposure to common chemicals like acetone, gasoline, engine oil, grease, etc.

No nitrile gloves will perform well when exposed to acetone. I use nitrile gloves except when I am working with acetone, for which I use latex gloves.

"My experience is gloves are used almost exclusively when chemical exposure is in play." But that's just one of many reasons why people would wear gloves. Other reasons could be to be clean (not quite sterile, but close) when handling food, touching grosse stuff, touching something that would get your hands dirty in any form when you aren't able to wash your hands, touching something that must stay clean and skinfat free...

Diamond Grip (look similar to Glove works) are the best I've ever used but they're expensive, Harbor Freight's 7mil gloves are pretty good and it's easy to roll down the long cuff if you don't need/want it 👍 Also try switching to size medium, they'll take longer to get on but the tight fit will provide more dexterity and will be less likely to snag on things while you're working.

Same! Microflex diamond grip have been my go to for nearly 20 years now. Thick enough to be reusable. But still retain excellent feel & dexterity. Pre pandemic they could be bought by the case (12 boxes) for 11¢ per glove. Only downsides I've ever run into is buying off of Amazon, and getting sent NOS or improperly stored boxes. They'll also turn into a super tacky goo if exposed to oil, then forgotten in the bottom of a tool bag.

[@michaelstormoen]

I've been a big fan of Venom Steel for the past several years. I found that I could get multiple uses out of them (take the gloves off, save, blow them back out, and reuse). I use about two boxes per year. In the last year I've experienced the quality to be sketchy. I bought a box off Amazon and one in store (Fleet Farm). I can't tell you which was sketchy, but that is what I experienced. I'd be interested if anyone else has experienced this. Maybe there are knock-off's out there? I'll only be buying in store from now on and keeping track. I really appreciate the comparison because your results were in line with my real-world experiences of trying several of these brands (notwithstanding the more recent "bad batch" of Venom Steel. All that said, paying for my own gloves on oil changes even when I get just one use is still WAY cheaper than paying $9.00 extra at some shop for "shop supplies" :) Thanks for all you do!

I used the HF 9mil gloves before the pandemic and they were awesome - I could re-use them 2 or 3 times. Now the supposed same "9 mil" gloves seem to rip a lot easier, and I find I'm using 2 sets of gloves per day in the garage working on the same kinds of things vs getting 2 or 3 days out of the old ones. I think a lot of "adjustments" were made to the gloves during the shortage for the last couple of years, and they made all of them way thinner. I noticed a bunch of bad reviews lately on amazon for the Venom Steel, so last time I went to HF, I just got another box of their 9mil. Sometimes you just can't win

[@TheHeadincharge]

Most likely the ones from Amazon were bad. I would generally always recommend getting that kind of product directly from a retailer.

Amazon is notorious for having fakes that look exactly the same. My buddy repairs Lexus and Toyotas and he said lots of “OEM” labeled parts on Amazon look almost the same but they are not.

I too have been using Venom Steel for years now. I easily get a few uses out of them. When working on cars or greasy stuff I clean them with brake clean sprayed onto a paper towel and they hold up great. I usually get them from Lowes.

[@FUTubeish]

I've bought those Silver Backs from the orange store twice in the last 8 months and each time they had the exact same issue as you described, making them functionally worthless. Even worse, if you continue to dig through the box some have fingers melted together or other various obvious QC issues. The only consistent item is that literally every single pair has a QC issue. It's so bad it's almost like they are purposefully broken, like the box is just the discards from another manufacturer. The fact these are so blatantly broken and a scam blows my mind they are still being stocked on shelves. Both times I returned them immediately and the employees were just as shocked at the quality as me.

Very interesting video as always, thank you! I usually only use these disposable gloves when handling chemicals like epoxy resin or acetone, so for me the resistance against chemicals is by far the most important property of the glove. Just one thing I'd like to mention: in the diagrams showing the result of each test, you always put the price of the product, which I like, but since the packages are all different sizes it makes it hard to compare. I'd love if you put the price per unit in these diagrams instead to make it a lot easier to compare, or maybe mention the size of the package. For example, instead of labeling the bar "Basic Vinyl, $9", it would be much easier to compare if you put "Basic Vinyl, $0.09 each" or "Basic Vinyl, $9 (100)". The price is one of the most important factors in the purchase decision after all.

I've been using the Hardy 7mil from Harbor Freight for a few years now. For most mechanics duty (brakes, pulling the carbs off a bike, valve adjustment - even an engine rebuild) i find them perfectly adequate; providing good tactile feel and good 'nuf durability. Regarding durability, there I times I can wear them for over an hour or more and I feel bad tossing them in the trash, and other times where one didn't make it through the job at hand. For 95% of the time they are just fine. While the Venom Steel gloves may be superior, the Hardy 7 mill gloves are inexpensive and can be picked up locally - and for that reason I probably wont make a change.

[@chidori0117]

Depending on what you use these gloves for definitely check the stability against chemicals. If you are only using them for dirt protection it does not really matter but if you want protection from chemicals for examples alcohols or gasoline you definitely need to use certain materials. Latex for example does not protect against many chemicals (I would not expect them to much against compounds contained in gasoline for example). This has nothing to do with the "quality" of the gloves its just that certain chemicals just go right through certain materials without issue. Most chemical gloves are based on nitril but you need to check what permeation time the gloves are rated for for certain chemicals (permeation time being the time a certain chemical takes to go right through). 1 hour is pretty long for permeation time for certain chemicals. Some materials have only seconds of permeation time for certain chemicals. This is also important to know because in case you spill stuff on your gloves you need to know if the permeation time is hours or minutes because you might need to switch gloves rather quick to have any protection.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@johnnyboy8498]

Another thing I notice, in your average chart you list the price per box; however the HDX is a box of 40 gloves and the Hardy 7 mil is a box of 50 gloves, which drastically changed its price per glove cost. When all the other gloves come in a box of 100 count. You should have listed the price next to each glove as “price per each” instead. Because this average chart is where one will go to, to determine which gloves they want based on price to performance. I might be using 8 gloves per day so I was planning to buy a cheaper glove to see if it fulfills my need. I was going to go for the Hardy 7 mil since it was only listed at 13$ vs the top performer Venom Steel listed at $25. But 13$ @ 50 gloves = 26 cents per glove making it more expensive than the 25 cents per glove for the Venom Steel.

[@apps5664]

It think you are missing the point here. Prices can fluctuate daily, and can vary by region plus you have coupons, promotions, and taxes that further change the price of the product depending on what is available to us at the moment. The prices he lists and what you are proposing is irrelevant since it's not one price fits all. It's our job as consumers to plug in the current prices available to us and factor the price per unit to determine value. The point is, he is giving us outstanding measured, non-biased data on the quality of each glove, and that my friend is invaluable to anyone in the market for disposable shop gloves.

Another amazing video as always Todd! Have you ever thought about a long term test of asphalt coatings for driveways? I just sealed mine recently and i've tried various brands over the years and i always get mixed results whether i buy a "8 year" product or a "3 year" product. There are a good bit of variables to take into consideration of a test like that, but it would be interesting to see if a paying more for an advertised life expectancy is actually worth the money. Cause there is alot of brands who make a lot of claims when it comes to sealers, and i have NEVER seen a side by side comparison of sealers. With that being said, if you don't have a patch of asphalt to test this on, disregard!

Great job friend. When I was a new mechanic in the Air Force, I was thrown into a small engine mechanics shop because the need was there. While it may sound odd, I was not trained as a mechanic at this point but I had the knack. I had no one to teach me about many things so I had to figure it out in my own. I was using various shop chemicals and learned that I needed some sort of protection from it so I found some latex gloves. I hadn’t even heard of nitrile. Found out that latex is very limited in chemicals resistance, especially gasoline as that was most often what I was getting into. At that time nitrile was like a miracle glove when I found some. I used nitrile all the time to protect my hands from a solvents and grease, but this test shows that latex still has some advantages in the right application. Thanks for the great info.
