Default Mechanic/Work glove recommendations?
I tore my hands up nicely last time I had to manipulate anything under my hood. Anyone have any advice on which gloves work/don't work etc?

TIA!

Default Nitrile. Tough and resistant to many chemicals.
Just be sure to get the right size, as they are not quite as flexible as latex gloves, and can restrict motion or tire your hands if too small.

Default Thanks guys - lots of guys from the S4 forum recommended Mechanix gloves.
Just to let you know. I'm going to see what I can pick up at the pep boys so I can actually try them on : )
