I too tend to find them too fiddly to work with unless doing something that doesn't really require too much dexterity. I've been using some cheap Toolstation ones lately which do for me when working outside.

 
It is down to the job basically, there is no type that fits all. ( no pun intended)
If you are doing domestic and require hand protection for chasing walls and other rough preparation work, it will be different from jobs where you need protection from chemicals, or oil and grease covered machinery.
If you are buying your own, the types supplied by the store in the previous link should be adequate.

There may come a time when you required more specialised - Personal Protection Equipment.

I don’t know why but when i saw this I just thought of this as personal protection equipment.

on a more serious note I like the gloves that leave your three fingertips out of your doing a lot of work outside in the cold and I have black latex free gloves for working on things that need to stay clean or are exceptionally dirty (by the way ever accidentally smelled a fluorescent tube that’s been in a classroom for years or worse a toilet :mask:) I’ve got Stanley vibration damper gloves for heavy use of machines and stuff but generally I can’t be bothered with gloves unless it’s really cold or I really need them. There are gloves for live work but I’m presuming since you never mentioned live work that’s not what they’re for?

Love the photo.
Fluorescent fittings in greasy food outlets was enough for me , that and faulty potato peeler's and chippers. Mostly if the area was damp in the area where they in use.
I hated that smell.
 
I use Red or Orange Traffi gloves for General Testing and have a pair of Dewalt fingerless for domestic work when knocking out plaster/brickwork. Helps grip bolsters better.

Want one. @Lou Xmas present please. Pimped out ninja truck.
 
I need to protect my hands from direct exposure to live electrical wires, sharp edges, and tools while still being able to perform my duties undeterred.
