Disposable rubber gloves for gun cleaning, etc.

[miguel]

Anyone have a recommendation on quality disposable rubber gloves for gun cleaning?

If I was just running a patch through them, I wouldn't bother, but Miguel Jr and I are going to do some field stripping and cleaning on a number of items this weekend and I don't want us to soak in Hoppe's 9 all day, despite my love for that odor. Every time I buy rubber gloves they tear just putting them on!

p.s. I have a sissy weekday job so I can't just man up and get 'em dirty and raw, so no ***** slapping me about this...

Multi color nitrile gloves sold anywhere from Wal-Mart to Walgreens in many sizes should fit your need(s), they even make some if you are allergic to the nitrile.

Where do you live, and what size do you need maybe I can help you out?

I use the ones I get from Harbor Freight. I've never had them rip. They have a few different thicknesses and sizes and are usually pretty cheap.

Harbor Freight, 20% off coupons everywhere. These are the 5mm nitrile gloves.

Don't use latex. The solvents will eat them up pretty quickly. After 40 years I have finally stopped using Hoppe's. For detail cleaning, I use one of those Orange citrus cleaners.

That is a great idea.

Please tell my wife ..

If they are ripping just getting them on something is wrong. Either you have the wrong size or cut your fingernails!

Haha! I'd try, but I'm going to assume she'd believe me as much as she believes you!

Mechanics use nitrile gloves to protect from solvents and fuels.

Oh buddy! say it ain't so! How can you break TRADITION ?!? I still try to get the Mrs. to use Hoppes #9 as perfume.

I have been buying raven black gloves from Amazon. They tend to tear less than harbor freight gloves. Though Hf is fine for light use

I use nitrile gloves for most any kind of hands dirty job. Auto work, car washing, food prep, fish cleaning, field dressing, butchering, meat handling, a number of gun/reloading related things, especially burnt powder/lead related stuff.

Why not take off the mess, stink, stain, toxins when you are done? I keep boxes of them on hand. Also have been made fun of for washing my hands with the gloves still on then hanging them up to dry for reuse (appropriately.)

Vinyl gloves tend to be sturdier but nitrile have a better feel for small parts.

I bring pants pockets full of gloves home from work everyday....

Just bought a big box of blue nitrile exam gloves from Walmart. They are cheap and get the job done.

lol! Well, I just decided to save money where I can!

I use gloves now that my hands break out and get really dry after the many years of letting them soak in solvent and clp while I was in the service. My hands finally said no more we quit.

I buy the nitrile gloves in a box about the size of a tissue box from Harbor Freight. They run a little small so buy a large enough size. They work great for painting, staining, and solvent use.
