this is somthing rather new to me . Mechanicx gloves sounds WUSSS but if you havent tried them you are missing out! They have them at Costo for $24.00 for two pair , thats a hell of a deal . I have seen the same thing for $20.00 a pair! I know it sounds like a lot of money but believe me you wont be sorry. I bought a secound double pack just because they may not have them again . you know costco. The first time you avoid a busted knuckle you will thank me. I was working on the floor and with the raw edges of cut sheet metal I have zero cuts . And y ou can wash them , when you wash up keep the glooves on and use the orange stuff on the gloves the on your hands . I sound like a comertial but I have no connection with these things other than biing impressed withe the product . my 4c

I also bought a two pack at Costco a few months ago. They work very well and do not impair your dexterity either. Gary was wise to by two packages as our Costco hasn't had them again and I now wish that I'd stocked up for the future.

They are also helpful for old hands in cold weather.

they stopped having them here also thats why when I saw them yesterday I bought two packs one for me one for a gift. If you want I can pick up a set and ship them to you.

Thanks for the offer Gary. I'll just keep checking tyhe local Costco since you found them recently, maybe our store will get a new shipment. The two pair that I curently have will last for a good while, I'll have to start keeping my eye out for them again.

Thanks for the offer though.

They are in every autoparts,Kmart,Miejer,Hardware,Wallmart, Hell they may be in Border's Books. That's where I see them in Detroit area. I've seen them as low as $18 & as high as $ 23.

I've never used them BUT..... sounds like i'm missing out on a good thing, I'll try some.

Hi Jeff;

Yes they are sold everywhere, but if you can find them at Costco, you can get TWO pair for $24.

call me cheap!

Time to sign up at Costco!!!! I'm there! Wife will wonder " why are you in such a hurry?"

- Jeff

I just went to my Costco and couldn't find them. I looked where the tools are, around the auto stuff, outdoor items, and sporting goods and nothing. I was hoping that they'd have them here too so I could save a few bucks. Bummer!!!

Like a lot of things at Costco, they come, and they go. Just keep your eyes open and one time when you are there, they probably will have them.

Not completely sure I understand what kinda of gloves you guys are talking about.

I buy a box of rubber gloves, (maybe 30-40 in a box) they are specially designed for the auto industry and are great as the latex is thin, hence you don't lose any of your manual dexterity and you dont get your hands dirty either!! Well thats the whole point!!

Hi George:

The gloves we are talking about are made by a company called MECHANIX. and are made of some kind of material that does not affect your dexterity much at all. They are used by pit crews on race teams to protect your hands from damage as well as to help keep them clean(er), They are advertized in most automobile magazines in the US. Here's A LINK to their website and a picture of one type of glove that they make and sell.

Thank you Carl for the clarification and the picture. It looks like a very good product, I'll check supply out. Thanks.
