I exploit nitrile gloves nearly every day in my store, sometimes taking them on and off many occasions a day, significantly if I’m working with stains, dyes, or different ending merchandise. My present gloves are good high quality quasi-medical gloves which might be proof against chemical substances, however they’re laborious to placed on and off and are often destroyed making an attempt to get one on a humid hand. I hold a bottle of talcum powder round for that goal, however that’s a messy trouble.
I’ve had a a lot better expertise with Venom Metal gloves. These nitrile gloves have two layers, a troublesome outer layer and a slick interior one, that make it simple to place them on or take them off with out destroying the glove or my persistence. They even stood as much as scholar use. I took a number of pairs to a category they usually held up amazingly effectively. We had been constructing a big torsion field, and two of the scholars wore the gloves all afternoon with just one rip in one of many gloves.
The gloves additionally really feel good—so good that I’m sporting them as I sort this evaluation! They appear to do effectively at maintaining the chemical substances at bay and are robust sufficient to outlive rigorous use within the store. Venom Metal sells them as “one measurement matches most,” which implies they’ll be a bit massive on small arms.
