Latex gloves for mechanic-ing

Where's the best place to get them from?

MachineMart want £4.69 for 100.

I've found them for around half that at www.justgloves.co.uk. Of
course, there's then the p&p to add.

Does anyone know of anywhere cheaper?

Cheap is often crap. I've given up on cheap ones and have been buying
'nitrile' ones from ebay.

 

Firstly, I buy vinyl gloves rather than latex because they don't melt
when you get solvents on them. Our local 'has everything you'll ever
need' car parts place does a box of 100 for about a fiver.

 

At less then 10p per serving, I'd say the MM prices aren't that bad...

 

I used to pay about twenty quid for 10 boxes of 100, via medical supply
websites. Might be worth clubbing together with a few peeps...

 

Just pinch a few every time you go to casualty.
That kept me well supplied during my racing career.

 

Blue Nitrile ones are more durable

No manicured pikey should be without a box

Blimey. You're agonising over a cost of 4.7p/pair and you say I'm tight?

 

****. That. I pay £1.99 at the motor factors at the bottom of my road.

I also rate the blue nitrile ones, particularly when getting in to COSHH
[1] territory . This place is not far off my route to "work", so I must
pop in as I see they do pikey priced overalls as well.

[1] Excuse the 'white hat' safety nazi reference.

heh. Fair enough. But I'm going to buy 5 boxes or so, and it still
comes to 20 quid with p&p etc, so a few quid saved is, well, a few
quid saved.

The motor factors at the bottom of your road appears to be an
Aladdin's cave of wonder, all at 1978 prices.

Do they do mail order?

Fucking excellent shop that is!

 

My business in "another place" is concluded, most satisfactorily (1), so
if you still need a spannering resource (2) for the two events I'd say
"game on".

(1) only took two years...

 

Costco's cheaper, under a fiver for three boxes, IIRC.

 

That was my first thought, too.

Are you arguing the point?

 

Nice one. I'll be in touch
