What's up with all the black nitrile gloves?

Why? Because they look cool. But seriously, like everyone has said, white cotton gloves underneath, Harbor Freight ones are cheap and work well. Then a pair of Nitrile over them, I use the cheap blue ones, also from Harbor Freight.

For a tad more in price then Harbor Frieght, you can get 500 6mil nitrile gloves for $59(cheaper if buy more). I have a bunch from a prior job, lol. I use them regularly especially for chicken.

I use mine for fueling the work truck.
I hate the smell of diesel on my hands from gooey pump nozzles.

But I'm a bare knuckles BBQ'r. I love my tongs.

Awesome this makes total sense! It's so annoying to have to always run back inside to wash my hands after putting meat on the grill. Definitely getting a box of nitrile gloves now.

That is the wonderful part. Peal them off and you have clean hands.

I used CA (Super Glue) in my shop as a stabilizer and finish for turning.
I used latex gloves to keep the glue off my hands.
One time a finger started burning. And it got hotter and hotter.
I whipped that glove off because a large drip of CA was reacting on my finger.
I wound up with a nasty second degree burn, but nothing as bad as it could have been without the gloves.

Had the 5mil in the garage in large but I keep going through them trying to put them on. Picked up a box of 9mil at HF today (and they are black) with ridges on the fingers for better grip. Not only that, they are extra large and much tougher than the 5 mil.
