2 Pairs Stanley Heavy-Duty Cowhide Leather Work Gloves Durable Thick Protection $5 shipEBAY DLY

Always good to have an extra pair (or two). Thanks MC!

In 4 1. Thanks OP!

Thanks, in for 1

Aren't these usually found for $2 most everywhere?

Regardless, I find that paying more for gloves is usually well worth it, because they last longer, dry quicker and are easier to work in. I'll wear holes in those things within a month, while a better pair will last me a year or more.

Which ones would you buy?

First, I'm not a glove expert or a thread killer, but I do like to help people save money, in return for all the help I've received.

I don't have a favorite brand or type of glove and just buy whatever looks good (although I do prefer them to have some synthetic mesh, rather then all leather.) Home Depot has many choices, in various sizes, but I never find anything I like there. I purchased my last pair at WalMart and these look like them here:

But I only paid around $15 for mine and wouldn't pay the price they're asking here, btw.

I think my favorite pair of gloves came from Harbor Freight and I think these are them here:

They're pretty basic, but they're tight enough to hold small things, they're durable and offer decent protection, and they dry quickly. I don't work on cars, but they work great for general landscaping, yard work and anything you'd use the other ones to do.

I find both pairs worth the extra money, because they're just easier to work in.

All Purpose, Lot No. 66291, 5 pair @ $7.49

Used these and both hands broke out in a red rash...never again!
