Which Maxiflex and price? Got a pair of the Endurance at Allied last year for around $30, one of the best gloves I've used. Trying to get more but they're out of stock.

ended up checking out Laughlin and de Gannes and a few other safety stores and noting much.

got two but its pretty poor quality,

any tips?
trying some disposables but Literally no sense.

6mil nitrile resists organic solvents better than regular latex examination gloves. cost - online TT1.35 each
mechanix - online TT400.00
gator - some auto tool store on el socoro road TT200.00

(look for ones with rubber protection on knuckles)

This one, MaxiFlex Ulitmate. $100 at CSP, bought 12 pairs for $300TTD landed from Amazon.

To date it's the best glove i have used. Also have the liquidproof version for oil changes.

These are used in auto assembly factories worldwide (as seen on NGC Megafactories

)

Damm. I actually had one of them before. Still do. Those maxiflex are good gloves. Very comfortable and precise.

Try removing a valve cover or oil pan with that.

That's for changing tires with worn wires or burst shredded tires.
Can't see myself using that one bit.

Read the thread. It's on the same page dude :!:

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » May 14th, 2015, 10:06 pm

Anyway. Small review on the gloves. The maxifit /Memphis.

Using them daily since I posted I bought them. Using from Axle rebuilding and alignment. Plenty dust and plenty grease. The grease soaks into the gloves. I try to take off the gloves when I'm doing heavy grease work.

What I meant by soak, is that I leave prints everywhere. It's excellent against heat. I Weld with them. I even accidentally touch a grinding wheel a few times.

I clean them everyday. I have a solution I made up. Basically like new.

Definitely worth 18$.

The only thing tho. Where the wrist strap is. Started to slowly stretch. Still comfortable enough to work but these. Never happened with the mechanix

That tends to happen with the cheaper made ones. Same thing happening with some kinda thin cheap one I bought at bhags. I've had the MaxiFlex longer and they still fit snug.

Yea, the memphis porous. Stuff will soak through it.

Picked up another brand at CSP but havent gotten around to using them yet.
