u cant use latex either cos 1)it swells to about 1500% of it's original size when u touch it with oil or grease 2)it melts onto your skin should u touch something hot.

Those last ones Dwayne left the link for sound like they are the go, for what you want them for.
As for Norm, well then them NOS ones may be better. But if you cant feel properly, might I suggest t cut off the finger tips on them. Or even these http://www.lbcarco.com/cgi-bin/gen5?nextform=/mechanicsgloves.html&o=&a=&t=_top

Or there are the Nomex flighing gloves, used by the army. They are a good allround glove, we cut off the inner finger tips when using them for prolonged shooting
