Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 you need some knitted style gloves with PU or nitrile coating the PU foam coating ones have more grip in oily conditions and the nitrile ones have greater resistance to oils (there are now foam/nitrile coated gloves on a knitted liner which are good although don't offer quite the feel) I use a PU foam coated glove as they are very comfy to wear, dexterous and soak up most of the knocks/cuts you tend to get when general spannering you do have to remove them for the odd very intricate job though I sell them for a living :-) oh and as above nitrile (disposable) gloves are much stronger than latex or vinyl disposable gloves - I only tend to use these when doing dirty jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Cleggy, I feel a bulk buy coming on. How much for a pair of gloves for every member? :) :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Would the pink barrier cream be Rozalex Norman? Used it at college 32 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Bioman, That's Rosalex. It's been a week of old memories. Roselex is another of those memories from 50 years ago working at University Motors Ltd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacomuk Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 I bought these this morning http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150802913884?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1025wt_1037 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I really can't believe grown men are having a discussion about what gloves they wear. Whatever next, which handbag or which tights? (no offence - just jesting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hi again Norman, there must have been to barrier creams with the same name. Mine was clicky, those were the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamnreeves Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Car looks good Nathan, is that on the long crendon road with the sign Westfield only? Its the back road that is between Bicester and Thame. This sign is just before you enter Thame. Might be called the Thame Road or Bicester Road not sure but I know it very well. I have a photo also 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I bought these this morning http://www.ebay.co.u...#ht_1025wt_1037 they will be ok although extended cuff will be a pain in the ass compared to regular cuff and a bit hotter to wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 this is the sort of glove I was talking about - I dont sell this particular glove but one similar http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polyco-Grip-Nitrile-Foam-Coated-Glove-DIY-size-9-/320905390727?pt=UK_BOI_ProtectiveGear_RL&hash=item4ab773aa87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2rrr Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Cleggy, Do they get slippy when wet. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 like most things you put your hand into - yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2rrr Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The reason I ask is that at work we have a glove matrix which specifies about 8 types of various gloves for various jobs. One type is notorious for being very slippy when wet but great when dry. Just wondered. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 yes Bob - the foam type gloves tend to be better in oily/wet/greasy conditions - however they do allow the oil through the glove the nitrile gloves are grippy in dry conditions (almost sticky feeling on certain materials however that all goes to pot when fluid/oils etc are introduced to the work) quite a few companies have PPE for designated areas inc gloves, footwear, hearing protection, respiratory etc etc this is the glove I will be stocking shortly - see the glove pictured where the guy is working on the bike wheel - http://www.ultimateindustrial.co.uk/2009/hand_nitrilepucoated.html - this is the glove that has both coatings on and offers the best of both - but as mentioned it is slightly thicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
