We recently got these new ones in that are getting very popular and a lot of mechanics are raving about them.
They're called Tiger grip and a pair is said to last a whole day. They are dearer though (over a tenner). Might me worth a look!

Another vote for Tigergrip gloves, won't get better or stronger nitrile or latex gloves than them

£4.50/box 100 blue
£39.00 / outer of 1000 (10x100)

Edd China has his own brand, I was given a box of them a while back, They are surprisingly good.

If you can get them, I have actually found the 'bamboo' lined tesco rubber gloves to be excellent - very durable and no sweaty hands.

I normally use the GP style ones above.

Got a box of the tigergrip gloves a couple of weeks ago, very strong and last a good but, id go for a size bigger than you normally wear though as I found them to be a bit tight.

Picked up a box from Elite Car Care off the Ormeau Rd a few weeks ago. Handy enough.

Bodyguard Nitrile are good, but nearly every time I wear a set working on the car I get a tear somewhere!
Least they are free from the wife's work lol

I find that the white vinyl (not the latex) bodyguards ones are better than the nitrile ones.

They don't tend to snag as much. They're cheaper too! (around £3 a box of 100).

They are just rebranded. They aren't his own. I have his ones and the non grease junkie unbranded ones and they are the exact same though I can't remember the make of them
