Working for an NHS healthcare provider, I can tell you that the ones you want aren't latex, but polyester - they're the ones I use - they're stronger, easier to put on and last longer.
I think I normally pay about £3.00 for a box of 100 gloves, and each glove lasts two or three light jobs (ie wiring, etc) or one heavy job (full service). |

I got some from B&Q and they weren't anywhere near tough enough.

Latex gloves are very good for nimble work but are weak. Try Nitrile gloves, they are stronger, and you won't stand the chance of getting latex allergy to them. I still prefer latex but thats cos I do molecular biology, not bike maintenance :P
