I stopped using nitrile , found the thick ones so think that dexterity was impacted. I now use Condor brand medical grade latex gloves. They are more resilient imo

I'll check those out. Somehow, I always seem to catch a sharp edge with gloves on... find that I go through fewer Thicksters. Plus, I like typing and saying the word Thickster. Over and over.
Chris, do you rewear gloves or toss them if you pull them off?

Latex isn’t as good with chemicals compared to nitril which is why I switched. Their fiit is great and are strong till I get parts cleaner, brake cleaner or solvents on them then they soften and stretch. I rewear them if cleanish, but I destroy them pretty easy. They are only 3.5-4 mils. I’d like to find some thicker and a little more reusable though. Then the cost would be more manageable…. It was also under $20 for 2x150 glove boxes. Last time I bought 900 and haven’t needed them for a while. That’s when the pandemic happened and gloves became scarce….

I try to reuse them if I can but if they're greasy, I just toss them. I rarely wear gloves unless I'm working on something nasty.
Love the Ex-Officio boxer-briefs. They don't last forever--the waistbands eventually wear out--but the fit is fantastic.
For ones that you can reuse, I like these because they don’t tear when you take them on and off.

As convenient as my Clics are that live around my neck, I prefer Caddis readers with blue light lenses for computer work. Top quality hinges and large, scratch-resistant lenses:

I know nothing about these 2 companies other than they popped up in my FB feed somehow. Pretty neat.

Not sure how the FB and Instagram algorithms work but the these 2 companies ads make more sense to me than the Nut Juice ones that I have been receiving lately.

Who has a recommendation for eye glasses (wrap around goggles?) that you can use in the shop that don't move as you push your head where it doesn't belong to find a fine threaded bolt that has no captive nut... or start sliding down your nose as your reaching over the wing with both hands and suddenly you can't see...?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have several pairs of these Clic wrap arounds. Specifically their Slastik Reader Nashi. Looks like they offer black now to match the grease on your hands.

I was going back over this thread, and noticed this.
I love my 1911. Anything smaller than .45 ACP is subcalibre. Given the choice, will always prefer the 1911.
But for "overall best looking semi-automatic pistol ever"?
Oh, and if you try, and you're not too miserly, you can now find one in .45ACP.

Since no one else has posted it, I will recommend the Blue Ridge Overland Tool Bag. It is out outer super-durable canvas bag, with inner transparent zipper pouches that you can break out separate small items (e.g. metric and imperial sockets) into each pouch. It has a exterior velcro tag area and molle straps everywhere. I keep one of these in all of my vehicles (with a giant Sams Club or Costco plastic-blow molded mechanic's tool kit dumped into it, along with my favorite additional tools) and have a second red one as a medic bag. It's far from the cheapest option, but it is exactly the right size (any larger and you wouldn't be able to lift it when full), and even a very substantial trail hand tool collection will fit in one or two of these.
