    Delivered bulk cement the other day with no gloves. Okay until it was time to stow the hot hose, that took more time and bobbling than usual. I'll likely remember them next time.

    I buy the $2 cotton gloves at wally world.
    They last a while and cheap enough to just throw away when the time comes.

    Has anybody mentioned the latex gloves - they’re cheap in a box of 100 or so, Amazon - peel them off and discard.

    I keep a box in the side box, for all DIRTY tasks.

    Then I pick my nose and head for the buffet.

    Rubber gloves for the fueling. You don't want leather ones as they will absorb fuel and your hands will smell nasty.

    This is when you have gotten your money's worth out of the $1.80 gloves at Walmart.

    These were left for a would be, glove less driver in need at the fuel island in Janesville.

    Funny you post this just now. In Cheyenne presently and just had a nice dinner at Outback then walked next door to Home Depot and bought this 5 pack for $5.00. One pair (fueling only) will last me 3-4 months before they start leaving dirt under my fingernails or smelly hands after fueling. I like the free market. I may die of cancer a year from now from cheap Chinese gloves but that's the price we pay for convenience and money saved

    When I can smell fuel, it's time.

    I've tried them and don't like them for my needs. My hands start sweating the instant I put them on then the moist liner starts to separate and you end up with fuzzy hands when you manage to get them off.
