I bought a box from somewhere and it does not even say the thickness of the gloves.  They suck.... 

 I also bought some 2 layer venom steel gloves that are awesome but super expensive. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for decent quality gloves??

 
The ones from Carquest have worked great for me. I am not at the shop so I don’t know the brand name. If you can buy them under an account they are more economical.

 
I am not the type to wear gloves. I used to pack the cv’s and then clean my hand with gas. Of coarse that’s coming from a mechanic that used to work in that crap daily. Now a way I was fought to grease cv’s easily is by using a ziplock freezer bag. Put the cv grease into the bag and seal it. Squeeze the grease to the lower corner of the bag. Cut a small piece of the corner off and squeeze the grease out of the bag using it like a pastry bag. Fill the cv’s and then toss the bag in the trash. Very minimal grease to deal with.

 
The Thicksters work great....they are pricey but 14mil thick.

And I don't mean just for CVs, for any nasty job....  CVs just seem like about the only thing I would wear them for on a buggy.   I hate wearing gloves.... 

 
Diamond grip. A shop i worked at used to order them. I believe I have seem them at an auto parts store, possibly auto zone. But I'm sure Amazon has them too. Or the raven brand nitrile gloves are pretty good too.

Gloveworks, industrial gloves. Auto paint supply store sell them. Strong and don't fail with chemicals, which usually cause them to become weak.

I know this is a gloves thread but finding out you can get grease in a caulking tube this year was a huge win for me. Grease guns are just too slow and the tolerances on CV's don't justify a needle in my opinion...you can do pretty good with the caulking gun end.
The Costo by me has disposable gloves, I havent tried them yet.

Don’t the two greases need to be mixed together?

No, but some people do that. I prep about 20 sets of CVs a year and never mix the grease. I pack the CV with Swepco then out a layer of BelRay over that on each side. Same way I prepped two Class 1 cars back when I was racing. 

Foddrills does sell a 50/50 mix Swepco/BelRay and I have a few tubes, just haven't used them yet. Figured I'd do my car as a test before I do any clients cars.

 
Working in heavy equipment I have known many many mechanics, as they keep the equipment going. The old guys that didn’t wear gloves and washed their hands with brake cleaner and gas, they all had something in common, they all passed away from cancer. I try to wear gloves, if I can, when I work on stuff. Probably a good idea to do so

 
Love me some gloves. 99cent store has some nitrile gloves that are decent for automotive work or painting. The palm is nitrile and top is cloth and can breath. Summertime i will take off nitrile gloves and a good 2-3 tablespoons of sweat falls out. 

I wanted to get food handling gloves. Just because i dont like washing my hands so much. Wintertime is super dry air and will crack the tips of my fingers. Almost went with plastic gloves but last minute switched to vinyl. So far not too happy. Just dont like the feel. Havnt used for cooking yet only for painting because i ran out of nitrile. For cooking i want super thin cheap plastic gloves to form burger patties and not have to wash up.
