WrxRcr Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hands down the best gloves I have owned. A pair of gloves usually last me 3-6 months and even then i am nursing finger holes trying to make them last longer. http://www.mechanix.com/material-4x-original-glove These are wearing so well I actually had to wash them. Looks like the 4x material product line has expanded since I purchased these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Only thing I don't like about them is if they get oily/soaked in ATF, they are greasy and never seems to wash out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 changed my oil with them once and they were ruined forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed this same problem, one of the reasons i washed them. I used a Dawn bath, did the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

criitter7 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I tried them one not a bad pair of gloves. I prefer just a normal set of rubber gloves. I usually get a different color than other techs so I know whose ass to put my foot up when I see them with my gloves on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Gloves take away the tactile feel of nuts and bolts, makes things harder than they need to be. Rather just wash hands after and let the beauty of scabs heal the wounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only wear them if it's cold or if im working around jagged edges etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I used a Dawn bath, did the trick. I'll give that a try. :thumbup: I do use HF nitrile gloves for most dirty work. $6 for a box of 100. In my line of work, dirty fingernails and callused handshakes are not an attribute!

Tripleskate Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Interesting. Always looking for a solution to cut up hands. I end up poking holes through most of the cheap-o nitrile type gloves within a matter of minutes, but the cheap price tag makes me not feel bad going through a bunch of them.

M0nk3y Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Been using regular mechanix gloves for 2 years changing tires and other random tidbits. Still have original pair, they have been holding up well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I can tell you don't wrench. Boy how times change. We used to make fun of anyone who needed to wear "mechanics" gloves to "wrench" or rubber gloves to wash parts or pack bearings. How did mechanics ever survive without fitted, "4x" technology?

Furloaf Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I've only ever wore them when wrenching in a tight spot, where busting knuckles or cutting/scraping is an issue. Prefer not to wear any gloves all other times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Those look awfully thick. I cant imagine being able to do anything wearing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrxRcr Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I got enough callouses from the gym and work. I have 9 stiches in my thumb and a drill bit hole in my left index finger atm. Wasn't wearing gloves fml. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyster101 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I love these gloves, only $10 for 10 at Home Depot. Any liquid will soak right through them, but for protecting hands they are great. Fit good Washable Last a long time for the price http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/300/fb/fb8bd6d1-0e09-48ea-9b07-bf19eab8916f_300.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
