    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
    Who knows?

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    Last time I didn't wear gloves while working on my car, I cut my hand to the bone. Not fun.
