If you can't wait for calluses, or your wife or girl friend says you can't. You can get heavy rubber or nitrile gloves impregnated with grit but they make my hands sweat. Another possibility are "snake skins" made by the Ridgid Tool Co. These are heavy leather gloves with hundreds of stainless steel cleats, like medieval armour. They are used with a smelly, wet, slippery, spinning sewer snake. If you own one you can find hundreds of new uses for them. You can buy them as pairs or single L/R. I think I paid $50 20yrs. ago for my right hander. RScott

I had the same problem doing some stonework. The best gloves I found were cotton gloves coated with rubber/plastic. The ones I had were black, and had a solid coating. I bought them initially because they were cheap. I had gone through leather and cloth gloves daily. These held up for a couple of weeks. Good luck.

Don't use any. Takes about 3 weeks to toughen up.

keep track of what you spend on whatever gloves you use... they'll come off your taxes!!.....
