Microflex SU-690 Disposable Nitrile Gloves, Latex-Free, Powder-Free Glove for Cleaning, Mechanics, Automotive, Industrial, or Medical Applications, Violet, Size Medium, Box of 100 Units

TL;DR: These are very good gloves and are much more durable than the other ones I bought. They are a little more expensive, so if durability isn't an issue, those others will suffice, but then, since those appear to be no different from the generic gloves available everywhere, you may be able to find cheaper ones with similar performance. However, if durability is important, while I can't say these are the best since I only tried the two, they are definitely significantly better.I bought a box of these and a box of Semperguard "Blue Nitrile Disposable Gloves Powder Free Textured 4 Mil Thickness Latex Free Food & Safety Glove (Large Box)" at the same time. I've used both several times, almost exclusively for light-duty tasks, mainly cleaning, and for that purpose both work fine, and since those are a bit cheaper they're really the better choice for that. These are also a tighter fit (snug, not tight), but I got them in medium whereas the others I got in large (I almost always get gloves of all types in large, and I wasn't sure which way to go for these; medium works but large probably would as well), so it's not a straight comparison. I generally prefer the snugness of these, but they're harder to take off because of it, so the others are my go to if I'm doing something where I want to be able to reuse them. If I'm doing something more detailed, the second-skin fit of these is nice. But again, that's largely due to the difference in ordered sizes. I only mention it in case it helps someone who's tried one pick a size in the other, and to basically say that for light-duty tasks, they work equally well to the point the fit is how I choose which to go with.That said, for heavier-duty tasks that are going to be rougher on the gloves, I would definitely recommend these. The other gloves are just your generic, cheap nitrile gloves you can get pretty much anywhere, whereas these have a more durable look and feel to them that's slight but instantly noticeable. I did some tests to compare the durability and the results were pretty much what I expected (I tried very hard to not be biased by the expectation while doing the tests and did what I could to keep them fair). The first thing I did was put a glove on each hand and repeatedly dragged my index (pointer) and middle fingers across a large rough stone, one hand next to the other. I also crossed my hands after a while to make sure each glove was exposed to both areas of the stone, in case one was a bit rougher than the other. It didn't take very long for a hole to develop on one finger of the other gloves. It took a while past that before a hole developed in the second finger and the first hole developed in these, both of which happened close to the same time. I went a bit longer after this then stopped. Even the second hold in the other glove was a bit larger than the first hole in these (again, they started at roughly the same time), so it seems not only are those more prone to tearing, but the tears worsen quicker as well. Then again, it's only a small difference, and a small sample size, so it's hard to be sure based on that.The second test I did was I inserted a tool into the ring finger of each glove (to simulate a finger, for safety vs using an actual finger) and used my Milwaukee "Dremel" to "grind" the finger with a 1" felt polishing wheel at a speed setting of 2.5/6, which is ~13,500rpm assuming the speed increases linearly. I had to lift up periodically to check the progress, but I did so briefly and tried to keep the frequency and duration of doing so similar for each glove. I also tried to keep the pressure the same. Not the most scientific of tests, but I'm satisfied with it. This glove lasted around 45-50 seconds before a tear developed, and I stopped at one minute. As you can see in the picture, that extra 10-15 seconds didn't do much to increase the size of the tear, as it's still quite small. The other glove, on the other hand, developed a tear within 15-20 seconds, and I stopped at 30 seconds, a whole half-minute less than this one. As you can see, it was basically demolished. And again, it seems that once a tear starts, it enlarges much more quickly.

I purchased these to replace another more pricey brand of nitrile gloves, though I was skeptical that these could compare at the far better price. I have been pleasantly surprised.I am sensitive to chemicals and use nitrile gloves for general household cleaning, including cleaning up after sick kids and pets. We recently purchased property and the previous owners left it littered with various farming and machinery chemicals and a seemingly endless number of old car batteries. These gloves have been very durable, feel comfy on, and I haven't had any reactions to the chemicals I'm handling since using these.I also use these when my hands get dry. Just rub some lotion on, put the gloves on, and head off to bed. They really keep that moisture in overnight and if you have to get up and use the toilet you don't have to remove them. Just go and wash up as usual. You can't do that with those fabric gloves sold for this purpose.I'm purchasing the small size for my children's contribution to cleaning up and I do recommend these to anybody interested in protecting their hands from the tortures of cleaning and general household chemical use. Make sure to keep a couple pairs stored in Ziplock baggies in your first aid kit, too.

The medium gloves fit my hand well. Tight for detailed work. Gloves are more durable than most of the other gloves on the market. Worth the money would buy again

Great gloves for working on vehicles. I have used most of my first box, will be ordering more.I just removed/reinstalled the transmission in a 2000 Audi TT Quattro, which is probably one of the toughest transmission jobs on any car. Not only did these gloves protect my hands from the years of gunk on the engine/transmission, but also oil, break fluid, gear oil and gasoline. There were lots of sharp edges/corners and these gloves held up to this abuse great, I only split open 1 glove and it have been work for several hours and had already held up to many snags.They are thin enough that I still have good dexterity, allowing me to pick up small items and deal with other situations where a typical automotive working glove simply will not work.One note, don't put hand lotion on shortly before trying to put these gloves on, it makes them very difficult to get on. Other than that lesson learned, I had no problems getting these gloves on and they fit snug on my hands.I wear a medium or large glove depending on brand, so I got medium for these, I like the fit, snug but not too tight.

I’ve lost track of how many boxes of these I’ve bought. I use them to protect my nails when I wash dishes and to keep my hands clean when I’m working. They have enough stretch that they stay on my hands without being tight.

I am a diesel/generator/power equipment tech. I deal with everything from dirt to battery acid and chemicals. These gloves have held up to every thing I have throw at them thus far. Exposure to break clean and still be able to take them off and reuse them. With the fingers at 7.1 mil and the palms are 4.7 mil they have lasted me quite a few times of taking them off and putting them back on under heavy use, with use with heavy parts. Even with the fingers being 7.1 mil they are still pretty good for small parts, even needle bearings in u-joint caps. I find that my hands sweat less in these than in competitive thickness gloves. They do run true to their size. I have small hands and usually wear a medium, a tech working with me usually wears a large and as expected they fit me perfectly and are a little small on him. If you are looking for a thicker glove check out the  Microflex® DFK-608-M, DuraFlock, Flocked Line Nitrile, Extended Cuff, Medium, Case, 50/box is $19.77; 10 boxes/case for $152.07  they pick up where these leave off. Put a box of each in your tool box and your hands will thank you.
