Nitrile gloves are great to use in a home shop. Good for painting as well. Not sure I'd go for black, though.
Good for hair dye. Or hair dressers in general
I use black nitrile gloves all the time when working on cars or, for that matter, with anything oily and dirty - hence they come under DIY and Tools
Very late, but I wanted to add that nitrile gloves are sometimes needed because some people have allergic reactions to latex. They are used in lab work as well as-how should I say-adult time
Very useful for working on vehicles.
Yup. I use them anytime I work with epoxy or paint that’s hard to wash off
It wasn't an Amazon purchase, but I once went to the store and realized at the checkout that I'd bought three items, which actually were unrelated, but seemed to be related at checkout...
A package of Imodium, a large package of toilet paper, and a magazine. (Loperamide, if Imodium isn't a brand over there).
I use nitrile gloves whenever I'm working with epoxy putty, plaster, turpentine/paint thinner, etc. Less mess on my hands, no drying/cracking/irritation on my skin, no annoying finger prints in putty or paint to clean up, etc. Not particularly weird, and it's usually much cheaper to buy 100+ packs online.
nitrile gloves are a god send in avoiding dermititis in the aerospace industry. don't know what I would do without them!
I used Nitrile gloves daily in my previous job, and in my current one, as well as when I'm home, they're really useful when you clean so that you don't damage your skin. Caustic Soda or Chlorine are neither very friendly to skin.
Nitrile gloves are used in mechanics to keep your hands clean so that heavy grease doesn't stain your hands.
You recommended the Jumper series in the "So You've Learned to Teleport" video.
There should have been a half second shot of Tom and Matt gagged and bound in a basement at the end.
nitrile gloves are good for preparing food and also for working with cannabis and specifically cannabis extracts
I read cannabis as cannibals, I guess they would be useful in both cases.
+Admiral Koloth I don't even want to know what cannibal extracts are all about xD
Nitrile gloves are useful in the kitchen even chopping things like chilli, but generally I use purple
Gloves are also a valid form of protection against STIs, nothing to worry about too much there
Nitrile gloves don't react with silicone the way that latex does, useful when you're mold-making.
From now on we should buy all our nitrile gloves through the affiliate link.
Maybe the person who ordered the nitrile gloves will be opening a drain.
Northaw and Shenley don't count as (north) London! Hertfordshire for sure
Nitrile gloves are used by mechanics a lot.
I didn't buy anything odd specifically because I knew this honest guv
I can't watch yet because I'm at work but I wanted to get this topic suggestion in while you're hopefully reading comments: juggling. :)
It was the White Album
I'm guessing a kinky pirate.
There should be a youtube series where someone sets up an affiliate link and gets people to order the strangest things they can think of on Amazon and then the host tries to make a story out of the list of items.
That would be funny.
William Sculley
And you'd make a bunch of money.
omg such an underrated comment
@William Sculley that actually exists. A German TH-camr started a series of this... Like 2 years ago (so basically 2 years after you made your comment. Great content.

Occasionally I buy rat poison and baby powder, just to confuse the algorithms.

Hey Tom, what I do with a box of 42 condoms, a pack of 100 nitrile gloves, a book on how to influence people, and a case of rum in my home, at the weekend, is my private business.
You have no right to judge me! Giggity Giggity Goo!
Meanwhile, the pens, balloons, baseball cap and red shirt were bought by Madame Tussauds for their Tom Scott figure.
...they have budget problems.
Don't forget the Lynx body wash...
omg its manny
grim fandango was amazing
Well, the 42 condoms are obvious. You're making 42 Robert Frost baloons. Oh, those poor pigeons.
I'm dead XD
The black nitrile gloves are often a bit thicker. They're used by piercers and tattoo artists, as well as, for example, me, when in the shop. In fact, it's entirely possible that I may have been the one who those gloves are attributed to. If so, they were for covering my hands while reaching into shop machinery, which is of course full of grease and oil, and often needs some nasty chemicals to clean up.
Is a pack of 42 condoms called a family pack?
Donald Sayers god, I hope not
No, its called a no family pack.
MrFlarespeed I was just thinking that.
An unfamily pack
In Alabama
Well Tom, you've doomed yourself. About 40.000 people are now waiting for a Tom Scott Make-up Tutorial.
yes
Four years later, increase that by a full order of magnitude
Is there any way we can send tom hundreds of boxes of nitrile gloves?
Maybe...maybe. ..
Who's laughing now
I got the gloves.....now to send it to tom.......
@@ankitabajpai4172 did'ya
what about sending him a bunch of rum of a box of red t shirts as a joke lmao
i really regret not buying the 60 rubber chickens off amazon a few days ago
Nitrile gloves are nice when you are working on engines and bicycles. And for butt stuff.
how about making meth
They are also good for crafts like making things with resin and silicon.
not just butt stuff! technically you should use them to be safer w vaginal stuff as well :) also useful for hair dye
They are horrible for butt stuff. Nitrile dissolves extremely fast in chloroform.
now many will buy crazy stuff they don't need just to screw with you guys.
casual assumption.... about 13 people it seems.
Next time I buy thermite I'm definitely using their amazon affiliate link to mess with them.
"thermite, 'how to rob a bank for dummies', rope, face mask"
***** is that a real book?
"Bank Robbery for Beginners" shows up on amazon pretty quick.

you can see the exact moment Matt realizes his friendship with Tom was probably heavily constructed from this book
My grandparents always used to garden in nitrile gloves. My partner's also allergic to latex, so they've looked for nitrile washing-up gloves.
As for the rum, obviously there are just a lot of Mad Cap'n Tom fans :P
Your comment sounds really bad if you stop reading after latex.
Yes. Because sex is a bad thing that we should never discuss.
+Ryan Barr replace bad with kinky (not that I have a problem with either)
What?
+Ryan Barr we all have those days...
I just love Tom's uncomfortable squirm toward the end, as the scenario he was imagining was almost certainly crazier than what actually happened.
TIL: The only use Tom knows of for Nitrile gloves is fisting
Nitrile gloves are a very common safer sex item for LGBT folks, not that different to condoms really, and often made available along side condoms. Gloves are more handy (pun intended) if you're using a body part not suited to condoms, and barrier methods are essential to prevent spread of STIs. Nitrile is commonly used due to risk of latex allergies. Bit unusual to specifically go for black ones, mind.
Huh! That's interesting. So far, two separate people have messaged me on Twitter saying they bought the nitrile gloves; for use on pushbikes and cars, they say...!
I seek out the black nitrile gloves because they're usually thicker (often used in tattooing and the like). Obviously this has nothing to do with the color, that's just the color they're often produced in. I, too, use them for everything from working on cars to dusty filthy computers to doing basic piercings for friends.
+Matt and Tom i buy Nitrile gloves all the time for cleaning as theyre much more resistant to tearing and often in a pack of latex gloves there are a few already broken. When i did lab work for uni they had them for when we did experiments, and hospitals and doctors offices are moving towards them as well.
latex gloves when punctured just have a tiny hole, nitrile just falls apart if i recall correctly, so theyre alot safer in medical use.
mind you, i get blue ones.
I use nitrile gloves for bicycle maintenance (so-called "purple inspection gloves" for preference) - when a bicycle is your primary source of local transport, a pair of disposable gloves in your saddle bag keeps your hands clean if you are required to do any mid-journey "repairs" (puncture repairs, jumped chain, et. al.).
they are also used for grinding meat for sausages to keep the whole operation as sanitary as possible.
Ah, time to buy shovels, tarps, duct tape, bleach, and various other items with various Amazon affiliate links, possibly including Tom's. >:D
you are now on many, many lists
+balloonist35 Haha, funny. And that's a change from what exactly?
Taking trolling to a whole new level. Love this.
And a bone saw... And some bungee cord.
A fire axe, a transparent windbreaker and a copy of "Fore" by Huey Lewis & the News?
Nitrile gloves are very handy. I use them all the time instead of the latex ones as they are more resistent against certain chemicals than latex. Plus they feel nicer while wearing them.
*looks at dislikes* I notice there's just the one as I post this... I think we've found our glove-rum-condom person...
(Kidding, kidding)
I'm so certain that is one person buying all those things, and it's great.
HAHA SO FUNNY MATE
Matt's Tshirt looks quite stupid folded like that.
From about 3:00 to 4:00? I had to listen again because I'd been giggling at Matt's t-shirt.
Good, I wasn't the only one who had a giggle over that
Hahaha, I had no idea! --Matt
Ah, yes...the scene in "Airplane!" with Rex Kramer (Robert Stack) walking through the airport. And he gets handed a flower
Surely you can't be serious!
He is serious, and don't call him Shirley.
nitrile gloves are great for car and bike maintenance, really cheap and saves you spending ages scrubbing your hands
You could use that Axe shower gel to scrub your hands... :p
this i use gloves when dealing with machine oil and when we cleaned out the coolant on the lathes and when im dealing with hydraulics.
Have you ever dealt with gear oil? Axe doesn't stand a chance.
+Robert Faber Not well. If you don't have the citrus and pumice cleaner from the auto parts store, you're going to want to use a good dish soap. The grease-cutting properties work almost as well on mechanical grease as on food grease.
hue hue hue
Black nitrile gloves don't show blood very well. This is bad for EMTs and police responding medically. For others it may be a benefit, and some people think they look cooler, but it's definitely bad for medical applications.
Yeah We have gray ones at the hospital I work at.
On the other hand, they show breaks very well.
I used them all the time working on my motorcycle and car so I don't get my hands all mucked up with oil and chemicals.
MaxRay16 I love the black nitrile gloves they sell in the states for mechanicing because they're so much stronger than the normal ones, my quibble with them is that it's hard to differentiate what kind of fluid is on them though, sadly I can't have everything :(
I am tempted to just buy 50 shades so it is on this list
Buy 7 copies.
1 copy of 50 Shades, duct tape, a Squatty Potty, a AR-15 cleaning kit, and copy of Nearer My God To Thee.
+Karith Pack of 100
I'd go for 50 thousand shades of grey
not the 55 gallon drum of lube?
I laughed when I saw it.. such a great reference
olloooooo
You can actually use nitrile gloves for things like beekeeping
yea but you will buy the white or the blue ones, black costs extra
or getting rid of poison ivy and black ones are really good for the poison ivy.
Liz the Lizard colour does not matter at all, why would you want black gloves for poison ivy?
I don't know how I got here, but I like both of you...so I guess I'm subbed now.
It's been a year. I wonder if you forgot about this.
Been two!
Been 5!

The video's title sounds like a challenge. :)
Challenge accepted!

The nitrile gloves could be for a hobby, like miniature painting. Panting a miniature isn't dangerous but if you're painting whole armies of them for a wargame or something you will get a lot of paint on your hands over time (especially with an airbrush), so it's better to wear gloves so none of it is absorbed.
I buy black nitrile gloves for working on cars. Keeps my hands clean and free of various fluids and grime. Seems like the buyer was a mechanic or gear head of some kind.
"Various fluids".... Giggity.
Sorry. :D I use nitrile gloves when I'm painting, drywalling, etc. (Mostly because I got tired of rending my flesh to get it all off later. )

I'm the black gloves... needed them for a showing of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'
But why a 100 pa... oh, stage lights... That makes perfect sense...
to hand out to the audience
Mike Elmore Oh, hehe, that's clever!
Is this some sort of pageantry for Rocky Horror that I don't know
I think you may find people less willing to use your affiliate code from now on...
Given the target audience, they may actually be willing to use it more … just not for serious shopping.
This is a valid argument.
Now I know whose link I'm going to use when I buy that drum of lube.
Hello profile picture bro
I'm definitely now more likely to use theirs.
Ok to be fair about the gloves, I use them when I clean out my guinea pigs cage (I did not buy them with your affiliate link though). Other things I have bought that would look skeptical on your list to go along with nitrile gloves I have ordered from amazon: a milligram digital scale, mini Petri dishes (I think like 500 of them), and small pipettes (again, about 500 of them), all for my science fair project don't worry, but the nitrile gloves definitely don't make it look good
Tom, here's something you might now know: It's actually called Axe in Europe as well, except the UK :)
That's not even that 'weird'. I've purchased most of those things myself,at some point. (Including the black nitrile gloves.) My list probably included a few more car parts than yours. Sounds like a regular Wednesday night to me.
You also buy rum off Amazon?
Not yet,but that may change in a day or two.
I do most of my own bike repairs and I use black nitrile gloves all the time.
So on a regular Wednesday night you'll get a case of Rum, take out your nitrile gloves and start working on your car?
Sounds a bit irresponsible ;)
As long as one doesn't drive while/after drinking the rum,it's fine.
I use nitrile gloves all the time when working with ink (no tattoo) so i have clean hands after. I can imagine black appeals to sertain people, so i do not think the gloves are that weard at all
nitrile gloves have plenty of perfectly above board uses, I'm an engineer and from time to time have to handle chemicals I don't want on my hands, various solvents, lye, used engine oil. my girlfriend is an aged care worker and gets them free by the box load.
I deal with caustic cleaning chemicals and strong acids on a daily basis, so I go through a box of 100 about every three weeks.
On top of that, they are good for dealing with hot peppers. You don't want to cut up high heat peppers without gloves.
yup, I use nitrile gloves in the darkroom - photographic chemicals aren't the most extreme, but they can be quite nasty on your skin if you're not careful.
Enough exposure and anything can wear your hands down.
+pyro1324 apparently even pineapple juice can do a number on your hands.
What if the 48 condoms were bought by the rigger gloves dude and he just needs to store some mics?
With extra lubrication?
Makes them easy to remove and store
one of these days I'm going to buy a disposable body suit, gloves , face mask and goggles, a white tarpaulin, several large oil barrels and a whole load of lye off someone's affiliate link and see if I get a video here
The Jumper books really are good (I believe you mentioned them previously on the teleportation episode, Tom). The author really does a neat job of exploring what you can do with the ability to teleport.
I use black nitrile gloves for cooking, cleaning, and sex (as another commenter also points out). Of course, I always ensure to use a fresh pair and never reuse. ;p
... cooking? How and why?
I don't use nitrile gloves for any of the above (though I do use them for bicycle maintenance and roadside repair if I get a puncture), but I could see them being used if you do a lot of frying and want a little protection from hot oil spatter.
*nod* nitrile has less allergy and interaction problems (thus good for sex vs latex gloves), is a lot more comfortable for long use (good for cleaning and hobby use), and iirc they break/puncture in a slightly better way.
They also come in better colours... I personally detest the clear/natural latex material, it looks dirty before you touch anything.
Some disposable gloves would have saved me a lot of grief bicycle-repair-wise! At the shop I had to use one of those gritty soaps (with pumice?) to cut it.
As for cooking, I... really don't like oil spatters. I've wrapped a worn shirt around my hands and worn long sleeves, just recently (in the summer). I guess gloves would be better than wrapped cloth!
just flip'em inside-out
now I am trying to think of strange things to buy, that would raise an eyebrow when looked at with no context.
100 rubber duckies
I can't believe that anyone could say that they don't like Pratchett
Helter skelter is a brilliant song though
Nitrile gloves are great for working on car engines; the oil and grease doesn't break them down like it would a latex glove.
It wasn't me (I buy mine locally), but I use nitrite gloves when I clean the rabbit's cage and when I apply weed killer. They can be completely normal things to buy and use. But, then again, they can be weird, I guess.

I feel like every single one of them you see on the streets has read every book on salesmanship and practiced all of the routines for years, I was amazed at the perfect routine I encountered on my university campus one time!
Basically, they checked every box, like not seeming like they were selling anything, putting the product in your hands, talking for you, and if you didn't give a small donation (for which they were even prepared with a card reader!), they just took the books back before you were even done saying "no" and shoved a pamphlet in your hand so fast you didn't have time to blink in confusion!

Don't know whats so odd bout the gloves, have a pack of them too, nice for all kinds of things you want to touch but not get on your hands. Ever watched louis rossmann macbook repair channel? He is wearing them too, has screwdrivers, and if you watch it, you will see why he needs it (hint: insects like dirty warm places)
You recommended, or at least mentioned, Jumper in the "so you have super powers" video. If I remember right.
tattoo artists use black nitrile gloves, mainly because the colour masks blood splatters and stops people freaking out
I use nitrile gloves all the time when molding and casting silicones and urethanes as they don't react like latex would. I tried vinyl for a bit, but they don't form-fit as well, so quickly I upgraded.
The nicest thing about nitrile gloves: all the colors they come in!
As someone who has worked on other peoples computers: there is a reason why those gloves are next to the screwdrivers. I had one guy bring in a pc with rat droppings in it...
11:35 Tom.exe has stopped working, troubleshoot?
Thank you, Tom, for reminding me I`m running low on nitrile gloves.
Nitrile gloves could also be used in some hobbies like prop-making, woodworking, electronics or basically anything else that includes chemicals you wouldn't want to get on your hands.
God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties.
I use nitrile gloves a lot for work on agressive paints and epoxies resins. there is a non sexual need for nitrile gloves!
