Since a glove is technically a tool, what are your favorite general purpose *dipped* work gloves?

When choosing dipped rubber work gloves, you need a versatile, all-purpose option – one that can handle dirty jobs, withstand rough treatment, and most importantly, isn't prohibitively expensive.

1. Half-Palm Nitrile Dot-Coated Gloves (All-Around Performer)

Coating Features: Nitrile rubber dots sprayed onto the palm, pure cotton/polyester back
Tough Job Scenarios:
Moving wet boxes in a warehouse, the dots act like suction cups on plastic film
Repairing muddy farm tools, a couple of rubs and the fabric base is exposed
Pulling cables outdoors, non-slip palm and breathable wrist
Expert Review: The dots are three times more wear-resistant than smooth surfaces, and the reinforced thumb area lasts an extra six months.

2. Full-Palm Latex Gloves (with Fleece Lining) (Cold Weather Savior)

Coating Features: Full latex coverage of the palm, thin fleece lining
Tough Job Scenarios:
Clearing drains in snowy weather, ice shards won't tear the rubber
Loading and unloading frozen goods, still able to bend fingers at minus ten degrees Celsius
Paint splattered on the gloves, dries and peels off without leaving a trace
Expert Review: Latex is more cold-resistant than PVC, the fleece lining absorbs sweat and keeps hands warm, but prolonged exposure to gasoline makes them sticky.

3. Fingerless Dipped Canvas Gloves (For Precision Work)

Coating Features: Canvas back + half-length rubber coating (covering from the base of the palm to the knuckles)
Tough Job Scenarios:
Picking up hot screws while welding, the rubber surface prevents splashes and the fingertips remain flexible
Climbing steel frames and tightening bolts, the canvas is breathable and the rubber grips the wrench
Tying rebar and binding wire, the exposed fingertips allow for knot tying without slipping
Expert Review: The rubber coating stopping at the knuckles is the most scientifically sound design, and the version with double-stitched seams at the thumb is the most tear-resistant.
