Who wears gloves when they work on their car..

[JITB]

Not me...i think gloves are for pussies.. :D

[LilMonty]

Fags.....

[Infinite]

i do. nitrile gloves ftmfw.

[jmmx258]

I know a lot of people who do. A lot of those actually rely on working with their hands daily for their lively hood. So its worth doing what they can to save them. I tried it once, cant stand it. I'm always in to much of a hurry to get shit done to worry about gloves anyways. Plus, I dont mind a little oil and grease on my hands. Thats what soap and waters for.

[Wurm]

i wear gloves most of the time unless im having trouble doing something

[Footefan52]

If I'm only changing my oil of something small like that I'll throw a pair on but if I am going to be under the hood for a while I don't like them.

[Nevea]

i dont use gloves often. only if working on brakes or something crushing like that

[Vuongy_Dong]

i often forget to put gloves on. shit rips easily working in tight spots.

[aaronfelipe]

Depends on what the application is, if you are working with brake fluid/fuel/coolant, your best bet is not to. Latex gloves is what I mean. If I am changing brakes, why no? Pull them off and all you need to do is wash them one time to eat/touch yourself.

[Hulud]

i dont use them, but if i painted cars i would

[Humphrizzle]

i do not.

[Po0H B3aR]

i wear gloves.....

[BKgen®]

i don't.

i should've used them when i installed my headers though. probably could have saved a few knuckles.

[Mr_S13®]

I refuse to work without them, guess you view me as a pussy...lol

[Humphrizzle]

yes, i do.

[BKgen®]

so you enjoy banging your bare hands on sharp metal edges?

that's pretty hardcore.
:jerkit:

[efman]

only when doing paint work

[bluuuurr]

i do. nitrile gloves ftmfw.

me too.. not having to spend 5 minutes scrubbing your hands is worth the inconvenience.. I usually can't tell I'm wearing them after a few minutes anways

[zakkkaliscious]

i dont and to get off grease/brake shit i use dish soap. and it works.

[Jecht]

I use gloves. Not those latex kind though, these are heavy duty cloth.

[Humphrizzle]

i dont bang my hands, things just go smoothly.

i use gloves when working with paint & paint stripper

[Infinite]

just something about getting brake cleaner in open cuts doesnt sound like fun.

and i think its funny... a guy that drives a contour is calling other people pussies :lmfao:

[Humphrizzle]

contours are for vagina faces.

[ThatS13guy]

i do when i see a pair lying around....which is almost never :/ lol

[JITB]

[Magnus213]

I don't wear gloves because they're damn expensive. Plus, busted knuckles make me feel manly.

[allmotorking]

i wear the TEIN mechanic gloves...they are really good quality...my friend went to WRC this past weekend in Mexico and the professional mechanics were wearing these TEIN gloves too...

[Evil Goat]

i use a set of mechanix gloves, keeps the nicks and scrapes from happening, why bleed and scab if you dont have to? i also have a set of gloves i usually wear at work as well

[Lucky DAWG]

Not me...i think gloves are for pussies.. :D

[soplocar]

:yes: Same here..

[VooDooXII]

Not always...plus I find it easier to work with my bare hands. I feel more...maneuverable...

[green91]

i wear diamond grips 5 days a week. try washing your hands 10-15x a day from getting them greasy.. your hands dry out and hurt like hell. if you do it for a living gloves are a must.

[Evil Goat]

you know, i read this thread, i respond to it, i get up go outside and change the plugs, wires, cap and button on the wifes car and didnt put on gloves....retardation ftl.

[SpecV_Scott]

It only took one good cut to make me start wearing gloves. Now I have gone through 4-5 pairs of them (worn holes in them). I won't do any major wrenching without them. Obviously some things you can't do with the gloves one (soldering, or trying to thread bolts in tight places, etc), but for everything else, yeah, I'll wear them.

Right now I'm a professional bassist, so if my hands get screwed up, I can't do my job. (I've tried playing bass with open wounds....bloody strings slow me down).

[~The_Duke~]

Just depends on what I am doing.

If I am working with bolts and stuff no I dont, but if I am tugging on wrenches and rackets trying to break one loose or tighten one down I do.

[HiPSI]

Guys that wear gloves dont know how to work on cars.


orly?

[BlkCD5]

in most cases, i don't. Knowing my luck though, my hands will get cut up

[R.Kelly]

i dont wear any gloves, years with working with your hands makes them tough....plus i enjoy the pain from the gas goin in cuts and busted knuckles

[Repost Squintz]

go on...
sometimes you have to let it go and say when in rome :thinking: :???: :lmfao:

[Fr33way]

I usually use gloves when breaking things loose or times when my hands can slip off and get busted on something. I hate handling anything smaller than a 17mm bolt with them so they don't stay on very long if at all.

[Krazykouki]

I don't. Too much dirt gets caked on the gloves and I don't like having to change gloves every time I put another bearing in. Yea I am very anal about engine assembly.

[SLOWR/T]

i dont for the most part but i do keep a box in my truck just in case i have to work on it and can't clean up.

[Lucky DAWG]

lol i guess so

i just never realized that protecting your primary tools (your hands), in a job like a mechanic where they mean everything to your career, made you a pussy lol

[Frög]

i do, the disposable ones... but i never buy them, so i guess i dont use them

[Z0_o6]

i work at a dealership so I wear latex or nitrile gloves every time I work on a car. it's a lot faster to finish the car up, peel the gloves off and get the car out of the shop. faster = money when you are a real mechanic. besides the fact if I hop in a $60,000 RL with dirty hands I won't have a job for long.

[LS2ner]

I wear my mechanix gloves whenever im wrenching on anything. Exception to this would be if i was doing wiring, threading smaller bolts, feeling for something in particular, or something where ill be touching body panels alot.

[Leisa]

I do... especially when I am cleaning Bretts wheels... Im not gonna risk breaking a nail... :D

[Nemesis]

I wear Mechanix gloves when I can or working on something where I could get a deep cut easily if I slip, or if I need extra grip. If im working with anything with chemicals Ill wear Nitrile gloves.

[GIXXERDK]

Oil is known to be a carcinogen, as well as brake dust, but hey who gives a fuck. Gloves are for pussies, right?

ummm, no

[2.0civic]

its funny how many people are so against gloves but ive had a few times where ive had to leave the shop to go out quickly or not realize what time it was and gloves kept me from an hour cleaning up my hands...Ive got more important shit to do with my time than sit there and wash my hands for 30 minutes cause its the "manly" thing to do

[AgentEasy]

i do. nitrile gloves ftmfw.

fuck yes.. and i steal em from work.. lol and yeah gotta keep the hands clean for them ladies.. you know pokin around the pink and all

[2.0civic]

lol i wasnt going to put it like that but yeah..ive had times where the girls came up and we went out to lunch and i couldnt wait that long to clean my hands when all i gotta do is peel gloves

[Slowboy]

The pic I posted this guy was wearing gloves changing his wheels. And the car ended up sitting on the disc brake. Yeah gloves are nice in some areas like to much grease or busted knuckles. But I just thought the pic was hilarious.
