Hey Todd when should we expect the LTT Screwdriver review?
Sunday, Sept 4 at 11:50 AM CST...the same time and day as usual. Testing is already underway against the leading brands out there. Thanks again!
I think LTT mentioned they were overnighted a day or two ago. The time it takes to run all the tests, get the data together, record the video, and edit the footage is significant, so hopefully soon, but don't hold your breath!
I know I'm looking forward to Project Farm's review not only for the LTT driver, but also for ratcheting drivers in general. Would be cool to see what contraptions are used to get objective data.
I am looking forward to it! Thanks Todd!
@@ProjectFarm probably too late to test the wiha brand ratcheting screwdriver?
Wait, linus tech tips made a screwdriver set?
This topic is SOLID GOLD to us that work in the shop all day. Gloves are a GIANT pita to determine which are good, and which are not. THANK YOU for doing this!
Thank you very much! The difference in performance is simply amazing and I'll be buying different gloves in the future for sure.
Real men don't wear gloves! Lol
Sarcasm
@@ProjectFarm I think I will too based on your tests! Thanks again!
In a shop you want higher mil spec gloves.
Should be 6mil or higher.
Yea great test
It always amazes me that I always pull the correct glove out for my right and left hand without even looking
I always pull two left gloves. I'm just unlocky
Bruuuh, you have a tallent
You must have ESPN.
I don't think you do , but you honestly believe you do because you are a " glass half full " type of person. Your brain remembers the good things that happens and dismisses the bad , thus you tend to not remember when you pull the incorrect glove....... Just a theory. haha
I have two left hands so I can only use half a box. Anybody need a bunch of rights? LOL!
I love when he says "WERE GONNA TEST THAT" lol. So you know if a tool makes a bold claim, well he's gonna hold them to that. I do love this channel.
Most of the time the claims are BS too lol
Very cool how you created pretty fair testbeds for each of these catagories. Over the years I find there are a few things I enjoy about your videos more than anything; 1: creative tests customized for each product, 2: consistency within reason (your not a lab but the fact that your tests are hearty, reproducible,still pretty precise by providing reasonable and most importantly believable results with minimal places for errors that would greatly affect any results is refreshing.) 3: the absolute widest array of testing, of both products and different tests All in one place for the world to see! Keep it up! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for watching!
"I really appreciate all the time you guys take to leave comments...regarding the testing that just took place".
Sir the amount of time and effort you put into these testings is just unparallel to what companies will ever be willing to do for their products, you are truly one of my role models!
Thank you very much!
You are so right. The amount of time that must go into devising all these tests and collecting the data is huge. Todd a 'How It's Made' video on how you go about making a video would be cool. This glove test would be a perfect choice. How you come up with all the tests to perform, how you collect the data. Do you have help. How many cameras are running, etc. It would all be of interest to your viewers I bet.
@@bobd. Excellent idea!
@BluLemon I agree. I remain astonished while watching these videos.
It looks like it takes a lot of time to figure out how to test, build the testing devices, setup cameras, make the charts, think of what to say, edit the videos and of course, to put everything away when your done. It is one heck of a lot of effort.
Agreed!
I'm a machinist and I wear the gloveworks almost everyday. One pair can last me a whole 10 hour shift. That includes putting them on and off multiple times a day. I might try out venom steel the next time I buy gloves. Thanks for the great content.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Good info. That is the ones I picked due to the texture. Glad to hear from 2 sources that they are a good choice.
Gloveworks are the best I have found.
I've never reused or seen anyone reuse their disposable gloves. I bet you can squeeze a penny till Lincoln's eyes pop out.
@@HadToChangeMyName_TH-camSucks They are 50 cents a pair. It doesn't makes sense to replace them every time I take them off. It would get really expensive fast.
Sir, you by far have the most interesting channel and as an engineer, I can really appreciate your approach, focus, and extreme attention to details and very creative problem solving is obvious in the design of your tests/fixtures. I’ll always follow your projects/content. Thank you.
Thanks and you are welcome!
@max marrero yes sir, at it 14 years
Truely a Red Green acolyte......
I too am an engineer... you'll know by the fact I told you and my spelling is atrocious.
The ranking table you added a few months ago for this type of test is great. It makes deciphering the winner by use case so easy. THANK YOU for all of your time and effort.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I've tried most of the gloves in this comparison. As a concrete worker, dexterity doesn't matter quite as much as abrasion resistance. When I can find them, I always buy the venom steel chemical gloves, they are blue, 13 mil, latex gloves. They are cheap enough that they can be considered disposable, but durable enough that I don't mind taking care of them. I will go through 20 pairs of venom steel nitrile gloves in a day, but I've had single pairs of the chemical gloves last me up to a week
Thank you!
Those were also the best gloves I found working in the oilfield. And I tried everything at every price throughout the years. Excellent brand.
I use to get gloves that where blue and had a longer cuff, like the Hardy 7 mil, but where two layer like the the venom steel. Had a soft white lining that prevented my fingers from pickling. Total thickness was 14 mil. They usually lasted me about a week, and sometimes I tossed a pair because they got too smelly. I'm retired now but, at the time I was an auto mechanic. I think they were called Blue Diamond-14L.
Why do you wear rubber gloves for concrete work?
@@skliros9235 Sand is abrasive, cement is alkaline, and it's an exothermic mixture. Long story short, it will destroy your skin.
He's done it again.
Never would have thought that gloves made from the same materials could be so different from each other. Thanks and very impressive!
purity of material and thickness play a large part. the fact that the gloves tested had dissimilar thicknesses should have called this whole test into question
@@glasshammer291 I disagree, he's testing the overall best glove. Not best thickness
@@overtheatlas that's not apple to apples
@@glasshammer291 ... may not be apples to apples, but it's what each brand offers. Probably could have broken it into categories for general work, common automotive work, and chemical work. IOW, one type doesn't cover all applications.... just like cotton garden gloves versus leather work gloves are for different chores.
@@glasshammer291 general testing gives general results, which in this case is perfect. Most consumers just need to know which products perform best within a certain environment.
I appreciate your comfort input. Definitely a positive idea. The average finish number is huge to me. Probably the best innovation to finish your videos with since you've started, it helps to keep me from skipping through the video after completing it and looking at the results of each test to narrow down your top picks.
Thanks!
Always great videos! Such thoughtful comparisons that reveal product quality between brands. I always check out your videos when I'm buying something for my shop. Keep up the great work!
Project farm is by far one of my favorite TH-camrs. Thank you for being so thorough in all the things you test out, and by not selling out to corporate interests for truly unbiased reviews!
Thank you!
Project Farm, Big Clive and AVE are the best by far other than keeping my dick in a vice. It's a bad recommendation.
Just when I believe you should be running out of testing ideas you surprise me with another great video. Great work.
Thank you! I ran out of ideas 2 years ago but fortunately Project Farm viewers have continued providing GREAT ideas!! Please keep the ideas coming!
Hard to believe he hadn't done this before.
@@ProjectFarm Hey Todd, can you do sump pumps sometime? Give a real workout if you do! 👍🏼😎✌🏼
@@ProjectFarm What about testing jumper cables? I live in the UK and i have some really bad cables over the years. Maybe test how they take being overloaded or being left outside in the weather etc. Thanks Alex. Love your channel.
@@gus473 That's a good 1!
Thank You PF for taking the time to film these vid's! Funny - I get so pleased with myself when one of your test vids confirm the stuff I like and use. Conversely I have changed over to many items you have torture tested. I love the creative ways you test to be able to simulate real life use - like these gloves. In case you were wondering I keep Venom Steels around for for working on tougher stuff or chemicals. Use the cheapo Harbor Freight's for everything else. Learned the hard way that the Hardy's don't like acetone. My fingers don't like it either.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I never thought I'd see a comparison that'd actually affect my future purchasing decisions, always enjoyed the videos, great stuff as usual!
Thanks so much!
It boggles my mind how you devise so many tests, and perform them all to perfection! So many aspects the average person couldn't even begin to consider! Excellent video, as I've come to expect. Perfect Sunday evening viewing! 👍👍
Thank you!
Haha, I agree. These videos could be made into a science curriculum for kids
The test jigs used in this episode were brilliant! You covered every possible aspect of damage that could possibly occur with protective glove use. In short: Very Impressive!
Glad you like them!
Excellent work and I love your test jigs. Those “out of the box thinking” designs intrigue me as much as the results.
Thank you very much!
As a long time fan of the exact GloveWorks HD green gloves tested, I use them quite a bit. A box typically lasts me about a month, give or take. So I typically go through a case per year. Your test video has influenced my next case purchase to be the Venom Steel. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
This has to be one of the greatest tests; for many of us DIY'ers, finding out which brands really stand out from the competition! Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I respect you for coming up with unique tests that are meaningful. I'm sure you spend hours putting together procedures which work to test that we never see, so thank you.
You are welcome!
I happen to keep three thicknesses of gloves in my shop; 5, 7 and 9 depending on what I'm working on. I use the 5 for most light duty work and the tactile sensation is good. The 9 is saved for hard or nasty work and usually hold up well. Thanks for the great video!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! This was brilliant! Couldn't imagine a more apt comparison to help me make a choice between all of them, given the plethora of options! And am I very grateful that you've identified the one that's come out on top 🙏
You're very welcome!
It seems that the one factor that can't really be taken into consideration is the age of the box and conditions it was stored in. I've found that regardless of which gloves I'm using, they deteriorate in the box over time. In addition, if they are stored in my hot garage, that seems to accelerate the deterioration.
Thank you for the feedback!
Refrigerate after opening
I'm pretty sure its ozone in the air that degrades the gloves. I try to put the gloves in a ziploc bag and toss the box. Seems to make them last.
@@glanzaguy9187 thanks, I hadn't thought of that. That's worth a try. I guess that would preserve the moisture in the material, helping prevent them from drying out. Makes sense.
Better-quality gloves, and all medical gloves, have ‘Date of Manufacture’ on them.. medical gloves will also have ‘Expiration Date’.
I agree with Glanza Guy… ZipLock bags are better for storage… vacuum-sealed are even better.
One more thing… putting corn starch on your hands makes donning gloves MUCH easier.
And ‘one more’ one more thing. Latex gloves can cause sensitivity problems, usually allergic reactions.
After years of Fire/EMS, I now suffer from latex-induced anaphylactic shock, from mild to severe.
Always love when the new Project Farm video comes out. Used to work in a fleet shop and ran the fuel island before that and learned the value of getting quality gloves. I have used those Venom Steel gloves before and man are they tough.
Thanks for sharing.
Extremely helpful! After going through boxes of gloves that rip / tear went with you recommendations. Looking forward to trying them out!
Glad it was helpful!
I fell into the rabbit hole and in binge watching all your vids
I love it I’ve been working as an alarm installer but recently got into school to be an A&P
Project Farm you have helped me make the best tool buying decisions for when I was broke and now to where I have money to afford the big boys. Thank you!!!!
You are welcome! Congratulations on your schooling to become an A&P!
I have 2 main gloves in the shop, Venom Steel & Gloveworks, plus a cheap vinyl glove for quick coverage for a dhort task just to keep my hands clean. It is not uncommon to get more than 1 day of use from the venom steel doing woodworking. I also find them to be fairly comfortable for extended wear. The Gloveworks seem to have changed since I bought my first package and the new ones may not be of the same quality as the original ones were. Thank you for all of your testing, I appreciate your honesty and unbiased opinions. I look forward to each new test that you post.
Thanks so much! Thanks for sharing.
The first box of Venom Steel I bought lasterd me two years and were awesome!! When I eventually ran out, I bought two more boxes... And they're rubbish. Very disappointed. They feel like a thicker material, but they're double layered and while they're thick, they tear a lot easier than my first box did.
I don’t know why I enjoyed the finger stretch so much.
I love how thorough your tests are! Great work as always!
Thanks!
You continue to be my go-to when I need to buy a new product. I love watching your channel as a mechanic with an engineering background. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
This video was absolutely incredible, thank you so much for the time/money/effort it took to make this. I was specifically looking for diamond grip gloves and ASTRO grip gloves, these are popular near me, actually sold at the local autozone as well. Would love to see these 2 edited in to the video possibly! Thank you again! This is an amazing video.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I've been asking for this test for a while. I sincerely appreciate your effort. Thank you for making future glove purchasing easier. Typically, I double glove myself, because when a glove gives up and my hands are sweaty, it's very difficult to get another glove on. So tactile feel is important to me since I'm trying to feel through two layers. Awesome test! It's always just as interesting to see what tests you come up with as it is to see the results!
Thanks so much! Thanks for suggesting this video idea!
I wish you had an email list warning us of future tests asking for our suggestions on how to conduct each test.
13:39 you need to test vapour resistance not liquid. I use nitrile gloves while automotive painting.
The paint thinners are toluene, xylene, iso-cyanides. You don't get "wet" through the gloves, but if you sniff your fingers after work you can tell you were being exposed and poisoned the whole time.
Your fingers/skin also drys out and crack even though you never got wet. Basically the vapour particles are much smaller than the liquid so it passes through the glove.
I'm still looking for quality gloves.
Unless I'm working with electronics and painting, I put a dusting of anti-MonkeyButt powder in my gloves.
Wear fabric gloves over your nitrile gloves.
Thank you for continuing to bring thorough, topical videos. I'm sure it's a lot of research and work for you. I really appreciate all you do and look forward to many more. Thanks for sharing 😊
You are welcome!
I went ahead and tried your recommendation for the Greasy Monkey gloves. These ARE a true upgrade to my Harbor Freight gloves FOR SURE.
JUST LIKE YOU SAID and TRUE to your review! The tactile feel and fit IS GREAT and they DO take a beating before ripping.
My Harbor Freight gloves would rip before I even began to work lol. Just gave away the whole box.
These Greasy Monkey gloves are now my favorite gloves. THANK YOU!!!!
BTW, I also am trying your E3 sparkplug recommendation (older video) this week for my scheduled maintenance =)
Gloves are such an important item that many people use daily, and yet you rarely see comprehensive tests for them. This is very helpful and detailed, kudos to you!
Thanks!
I love this channel, I often find that you test properties of the tools I wouldn't even have thought of comparing, very impressive.
As for these gloves, I tend to find them an absolute pain to work with and I hugely appreciate you taking the time to find the best ones, this should help a lot!
Thanks!
Fascinating as always. My grip gripe is the palm splitting and you covered that brilliantly. Sorry it was hard on your hand.
I keep a container of baby powder handy. When a glove fails and my hands are a bit sweaty, a sprinkle of that stuff and the new glove goes on easy.
A new video from PF always gets the day going in a positive way!
Thanks so much!
Yeah...I always have a little container of powder on hand for that same purpose....sweaty hands and nitrile gloves dont mix well....lol
I prefer corn starch for this because some baby powders have other chemicals for things like diaper rash.
@@AxGryndr ....sure....go right ahead and use that GMO corn starch and let it absorb into your skin and poison you even more than all the rest of the stuff out there already poisoning you.
And you CAN get just plain 'talc' if you LOOK for it....been used for hundreds of years, never any GMO.
I love your continued improvement in processes and displaying of the info. Great work man
Thanks and you are welcome!
As always, these reviews are great and honestly the benchmark if you are considering ant new product! Thank you PF for taking the time to make these for the community! My only feedback for PF is that IMO there are 3 brands that should always be considered (if available): Kirkland (Costco), ICON (Harbor Freight high end), and the new Amazon Denali (new for some tools) as these are commonly available to most folks.
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
I usually get the Kirkland brand at Costco. They are decent quality, better than a lot of the ones ive tried on Amazon for around the $10 for 100 range. Except the Costco gloves are $28 for 400. For tasks around chemicals or automotive I just double them up and they last quite a while, and compared to the more expensive gloves you are still saving money
My man, Todd, I appreciate your hard work and effort to show tried and true methods to find the best! Have you considered testing chemical cleaners like Krud Kutter or simple green? Would love to see which ones truly do the job with difficult greases!
Thank you for the video idea!
Great idea!
Personally used Venom Steel for years with most consumer grade chemicals from degreaser, acetone, lubricants, and undiluted bleach to commercial/lab grade alcohol, strong acid degreaser, and various stripping agents all without issue. Any dangerous skin melting stuff I did have heavy rubber (or specific recommended type) gloves over my regular venoms though.
Great suggestion. I’d love to see which chemical does best at removing oil stains from concrete.
If you watch this channel, you likely have that issue.
I’m impressed that you actually figured out all those different test for some gloves..awesome work as always
Thanks!
The 7mil Hardy gloves with the longer cuff have become a favorite of mine when doing especially dirty automotive stuff - that extra length makes a big difference. Great work as always!
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I've been using venom gloves for water treatment testing. Never had an issue and definitely recommended.
Thanks for sharing.
They just sound cool too lol.
What's the fit like? Do they have their own sizing or do they use a more standardized system?
@@predsfanmyrtlebeach4542 they have a one size fits most, and an xxl. The one size is like a medium-large, if you have big hands, you need the xxl, but they are hard to find unless you buy online.
@@predsfanmyrtlebeach4542 in general it’s a slightly looser fit for me - I have large hands and I buy the large size. I just mean it’s not stretching crazy over my hand while I wear them, it’s comfy.
Another great video, one of the most helpful yet! Thank you, man; I have been subscribed for years and have watched every one of your videos. Keep up the great work, buddy. I'm genuinely so happy for you and your family that you were able to turn this into a way to make money by helping people make better and more informed decisions. You're making a difference; I really appreciate the time you've taken to make these great videos.
Thanks and you are welcome!
This was a great test and useful to the general public, as well as people doing hands on work. Thanks!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Everytime I need to buy something my new default is to check to see if you have a video on it! Project farm is the gold standard of unbiased and useful reviews
Thanks!
always nailing the content! this is another great test, havent even finished yet!
Thank you very much!
I’ve been using the same gloves for so long, I didn’t think about other brands. Thanks for another great video! Looking forward to trying the two you suggested. Thank you!!!
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
I really like the venom steel. Thank you for doing the testing and confirming I have been making the right choice. I love your channel. Whenever someone is trying to decide on a product that is a category you have tested I point them in your direction.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I have a little game I play every week. Once I hear what you are testing, I hit pause...then try to come up with 5 ways you test the item. My best week was 3 tests correct. I only came up with 2 tests this week. Todd, you continue to amaze me with your creativity!
A few cool new rigs today! 👍🏼😎✌🏼
Cool game! Thanks for sharing!
Great video! When I was maintenance in oil field I would carry ravens or venoms, maybe hardy gloves but they got super slippery with oil exposure. And we changed oil filters regularly, the venoms and ravens would keep good grip.
This would be a GREAT test! Which gloves are best when doing a messy engine oil change?
@@clafournaise I've always used Hardy 5mil since they're dirt cheap, and just throw them away after they got dirty
Thanks for sharing.
What i like a lot about your tests is that they allow you to determine which glove is best for your specific needs depending on what qualities you value
Thank you!!
Bought a bunch of Venom Steel at the beginning of the pandemic, and I was really surprised at how great they perform in a variety of tasks! As always, your testing perfectly reflects my real world experience.
Thanks for sharing!
Been using Venom Steel for years. By far my favorite gloves. They're been impossible to find locally since covid though.
Great video, thank you for all of the research you do - it really helps!
One suggestion I had - when displaying prices in charts / tables, could you also include a normalized price (e.g. price per glove / price per 100 etc?) Some of the boxes in the video had odd glove counts (like Safeskin at 40 or Hardy 7 mil at 50), so at a glance the Safeskin looks to be significantly cheaper than some of the other gloves when they're actually more expensive on a per glove basis.
Thanks again! Your channel is one of the few I really value when it comes to trying to form opinions on brands / products.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Hey Project Farm. Great content as always.
Video idea:
I would love to see how you store and organize your tools or what you would recommend. As I collect more and more I’m starting to get cluttered and I’m sure everyone else would love to see a video on this topic somehow!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Some of the most creative (but relevant) testing I've see you come up with yet. Bravo, sir!
Thanks!
Love to see you test some of the router bits available on Amazon ranging from the more expensive Whiteside/Amana to the cheaper Yonico etc. They are tough to compare on your own!!! Awesome channel and thanks for all the great content.
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Todd! I really appreciate the effort you expend to do fair, accurate testing. I have a suggestion for you. A lot of people have ATVs and UTV’s for farm and recreation. Most have foam air filters. The “experts“ suggest using special expensive foam filter oil. We used to use regular engine motor oil. Some suggest bar and chain oil would work because it is much tackier than motor oil. Even heard 80w-90 oil might adhere better than motor oil. I think this would be of interest to lawn mower owners as well. Please consider. Keep up the great work!
I don’t really know if this is what your asking about, but he has a 26 video playlist exclusively on different kinds of motor oil which may be what you’re describing. Idk much about oil so sorry if that is unrelated
If you want tacky oil get some castor oil! I'm guessing this might be what is used for bar oil, possibly sulfonated castor oil b/c of the red tint. They both have a very high smoke point (I think the highest of any naturally occurring plant based oil..). You can find high quality castor oil at soap making supply shops for $18-25/gal IIRC.
I would think the filter would have more of a significant role in doing its job than the oil placed on it, I always thought the oil was only there to help the filter out with picking up really fine particulates, so as long as it lingers and doesn’t come off or remove itself in someway it should all do the same right? We used to just throw any old oil on our dirt bike air filters. Although I guess it doesn’t matter really if said filter is serviced fairly often.
@@benbawden3589 He talking about air filter oil which is different from motor oil. "Stickyness" is the name of the game for air filter oil along with washability and potentially carrying capacity but that last one might be depended on the filter media more than anything.
Todd, thanks for the review! I honestly look forward to every Sunday in anticipation of your review. I don’t know how you keep the pace up. I’d hate to ask, but if I had to guess, I imagine you have easily over 70 hours invested into each completed review not to mention the cost of the test subject and testing tools you use. I hope you’re very well compensated given your huge investment in both time and materials! Thanks again!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
the table at the end averaging everything out. THANK YOU FOR FINALLY adding this to the videos. One other suggestion, could you add another column that considers the cost of the item against its performance rating? The cheapest price is a 1 the highest is a 10, then interpolate the values in between. It gives us the ability to see what is the best performing item on a dollar cost basis. That cost basis will be able to consider all your other ratings as well.
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I love that you always try to include Harbor Freight into the mix. I know you won't stop doing that, but I wanted to pass along my message of encouragement! Keep on testing HF with the expensive brands! Hopefully 10-15 years from now you'll have tested every product HF sells!
Thank you!
I just bought the grease monkey last week! I'm glad I did now! Thanks again for all you do for us!!
Grease Monkey is a great choice!
I bought the Comfy gloves and they're great. This channel is so helpful. Thanks, Project Farm.
Our pleasure!
Your Series of tests are a life and money saver, Thank you so much.
You are welcome!
I use the Venom Steel gloves all the time. I knew they were good. This confirms it. I'm a hardwood floor finisher,so chemical resistance and tear resistance are most important. This was a great test comparison.
I've used Grease Monkey gloves for a the past few years. They're pretty good all around gloves at a decent price. I've never had liquid get through while in use, but the harshest liquid I'm exposed to is gas and 50:1 mix. I do get about 100% tearing when using my fingers to screw nuts/bolts in/out. As always a thorough and well done video.
Thanks for the heads up on hundreds of products!!
You are welcome!
Great video thanks for all the product testing! You're one of the best TH-camrs on this platform. Please test sockets next!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I really enjoyed this one. My experience is gloves are used almost exclusively when chemical exposure is in play. I've been a long-time believer in the gloveworks HD, and it's nice to see that backed up. I'm definitely going to try some other options though.
It would be really interesting to see grip strength measured after exposure to common chemicals like acetone, gasoline, engine oil, grease, etc.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
No nitrile gloves will perform well when exposed to acetone. I use nitrile gloves except when I am working with acetone, for which I use latex gloves.
great review I also found that the venom steel were the best gloves I was able to find and then Lowe's was having trouble keeping them in stock so I switched to Orange lightning gloves and they're actually a pretty close second based on my experience
My line of work requires me work with chemicals too, that's why maybe a year ago i suggested this. Although i dont choose what my company buys, I'll be showing the person that orders this video.
"My experience is gloves are used almost exclusively when chemical exposure is in play." But that's just one of many reasons why people would wear gloves. Other reasons could be to be clean (not quite sterile, but close) when handling food, touching grosse stuff, touching something that would get your hands dirty in any form when you aren't able to wash your hands, touching something that must stay clean and skinfat free...
I need to send this to my bosses so they stop buying the insta-break brands.
Great point!

Great testing! I’ve personally used the Venom Steel gloves and they are my favorite. But Walmart no longer sells them at a reasonable price however they are available on Amazon for $15 a box.
Thanks!
....$15 for 50 gloves.....
Thank you for putting so much work into these videos
You are welcome!
I'm impressed that you tested the glove strength after soaking in gasoline. Many (myself included) might not have included that specific test and just relied on the subjective impressions.
As always your thoroughness and dedication to get the most accurate results is greatly appreciated. I rely on your videos heavily whenever making decisions on purchases for products you have covered.
Thanks!
I imagine the Hardy 9mil from Harbor Freight would perform very well.
And when on sale you can get a box of them for $10
They’re amazing for auto work, I end up reusing them quite often.
Beat me to it, I was going to say they are the best so far, I work on cars for a living and everything else just doesn’t hold up
That's great to hear about HF gloves. I'm tired of breaking gloves as soon as I put them on and try to snug them up to my fingertips. I've tried a lot of brands, but haven't tried the Hardy brand. Thanks for commenting, otherwise I wouldn't have considered them
I was gonna say the 9 mil HF are my goto. The 7 mil gloves did well in the test for the price. I know the 9 mil would have done better.
The HF 9 mil gloves pre-pandemic were so much better than they are now. I used to be able to re-use them 3 or 4 times before they ripped. Now they cost more, and they seem to rip way easier, and I find myself using 2 sets for one job, instead of one set for 2 or 3 days. If you hold them up to light now, you can see light through them. I'm pretty sure the old ones were a lot thicker and you couldn't see nearly as much light through them.
I would have to disagree. They are pretty prone to tearing and will rip easily if you catch an edge somewhere, and their abrasion resistance is not great. I’ve tried using them while cleaning with a scotch brite and in no time at all there are holes in the fingers. I’ve used glove works with better results but I’m sure there is a product that will outlast them both
These vids are phenomenal. I did motor vehicle repairs for 51 years (I'm 72 next month) and I was called glove fag early on, but my hands are in great shape. It's just I had to spend money unnecessarily to find the best stuff, and my brand choices back then were not like they are now. I went through many style of padded cloth gloves too. Writing this makes me miss it all. Thanks for your time in video and the amazing concrete testing.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing!
Wonder how many preventable health issues those guys who didn't wear gloves are dealing with now due to absorbing all sorts of chemicals through their skin.
Thanks for the review. As always you are so thorough, in my view not many can compete with the "completeness" of how you test, thanks.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Thank you so much for this Todd! Before I buy anything, I check to see if you have done a video on it. As always your attention to detail and thorough review have helped me make a wise choice. God bless you, thank you for the good work!
It seems like I usually have a box of the 7 mil HF gloves around because they're easy to pick up and have on hand (pun intended!). Glad to see that they actually perform reasonably well considering their low price. I also like their 9mil black gloves which weren't included in your testing. Looks like I need to give the other top performers a try.
As usual, your testing rigs were well-designed and each testing process informative and meaningful. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for sharing.
Love watching your reviews when I have downtime at work. I just invested in the Flex Tool lineup and would like to see some revisits with previous high performers pitted against Flex. I'm very impressed with how well they're performing for me given they're a gen 1 tool lineup. Excited to see where they go from here.
Thanks for watching! Thanks for the suggestion.
You do great videos, love the fast paced info. Thanks
Thanks and you are welcome!
Your level of thoroughness is as refreshing as it is impressive and helpful 👌
Thanks!
I've been using Venom Steel gloves for work and I honestly am happy to see that it's getting the attention it deserves! I totally agree w/ having two types of gloves (one heavy duty, one for fine motor skills) btw :)
Thanks for sharing.
Hey project farm! I love your vids and how entertaining and informative they are, the seafoam brought me 🤣
Thank you!
Man I love it when I need to buy something and I go to look for reviews and find a Project farm video.
With so many options this videos help putting your money for what you need.
Thanks so much!
I love the fact that whenever I run out of something I can check your channel for a comparison review of that product. I've been using Adenna Latex gloves for years and was always a bit disappointed at how easy it was to rip through the fingers or cuff. I'll be getting some Venom Steel gloves this time. Considering that I typically rip 2 or 3 of the Adenna gloves before I'm done needing them, the Venom Steel gloves should halve my expenses.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Good day everyone!!!!
Happy Sunday!!
I'm not surprised on those Venom Steel. I stumbled across those years ago and love them.
Likewise. I can usually use a pair several times, rather than once and dispose with cheaper gloves. Some cheap ones tear just trying to pull them on.
Impressive gloves!
@@icanreadthebible7561 I use them from everything to cooking, medical care for the kid, to painting and engine work. Reliable.
Been looking forward to this one for a long time. Thanks!!
You are welcome
Great information, as always. I don't need these kind of gloves often, but now I know which ones to keep on hand for when I do. Project Farm Rules!
Thanks! Glad to hear!
Great video! Thank you, Todd!
As chemist who has experience with nitrile rubber I can say that this type of rubber is more resistant to gasoline than vinyl rubber. I think, the difference in finger strength after immersion comes from difference in thickness.....or becuase of the "quality" of nitrile rubber.
Nitrile rubber with high nitrile content is the top material for muti-purpose gaskets and fuel hoses production.
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
I look forward to your videos every week! 👏
Thank you very much and thank you for supporting the channel through memberships!! It helps a lot!
Same, thanks for all the work you do Project Farm!
I can't believe you tested so many different brands at different properties. I was just about to order the Venom Steel gloves because they look the best but your data confirms my observations. Thank you
You are welcome!
I've just realized I've been watching this channel for years, and haven't subscribed until now. That recommended page really just hits different I guess.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I always just love the test setups, same as I do but with a project instead of testing.
Some clamps, tyrips and duct tape and it just works.
No need for expensive testing equipment if this also works.
Keep up the good work!
What I really would like to see tested are the cheaper welders.. Allot of crap going around with different names but it seems there are some pearls to be found but I have no idea where to look with a budget.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
If there is ever a part 2 to this work gloves series I'd love to see the finger grip test done with the gloves covered in oil as well, I came from aerospace and some gloves were very tacky dry but SUPER slippery when the tiniest bit of oil got on them. I found a great pair eventually that had great grip properties dry and wet, that gave me 6 years in the industry without a single dropped part. :)
Thanks for the suggestion.
Can you provide the brand of these gloves?
@@tommyj7087 I've been out of that industry since c19, I just can't recall the brand anymore but I know I have some pairs kicking around, I'll see if I can find out for you
