    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    that's pretty hardcore.

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

    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.

    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).

    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.
