Reusable gloves for bike repairs?

Question

I'm looking to degrease/lube the chain, adjust disc brakes, clean, etc. at home, but don't want to get my hands dirty. (Zinger alert.)

Are there any special re-usable gloves for this kind of bike work?

I'm asking because the usual latex stuff won't likely last long, especially if ripped on something sharp.

Alternatively, will regular household gloves work? Or what about garden ones?

_{P.S. I mentioned the type of lubricant and degreaser I'm using to show that it's not corrosive and carcinogenic like the usual stuff; so in my case, I am only concerned with not getting oil and black smears all over my hands.}

Park Tool recommends their own product:

I used to hate gloves for anything (car, bike, whatever) until I got used to wearing them while in Iraq and Afghanistan. Originally I used the Mechanix Wear gloves and I still like them for working on my car:

Atlas-Fit nylon gloves are surprisingly good when you want to work in oil, rain or cold. They stretch over your fingers and are easily tough enough to put snow cables on car tires in the winter.

I know a bicycle mechanic that prefers to use these when they are doing oily work — like flooding bearings or breaking frozen parts they are soaking in oil: the gloves are not slippery when working with grease or oil. Also, a stray wire from a shifter cable is less likely to poke through them.

To keep your hands cleaner, wear nitrile gloves below them. (Also helps with other gloves in cold weather.)

(For most bike work, I often use disposable nitrile gloves, but I often chew right through the fingers and knuckles on those quickly.)
