i've use em when it's too hot or cold to touch anything. imo you couldnt use em for everyday allday use cos u have no feel in your fingertips. i also have a pair i use for indoor cricket batting gloves.

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.

Whats wrong Casey...? Scared to get your hands dirty?

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

The supercheap ones are good. I dont get dirty hands now  :wink: They are pretty yellow, good for hiding the dirt and oil marks. Least i wont burn my fingers now, sticken them wheer they should'nt be in the first place.
