Driving gloves are a different story, they are "Cool". Even Sterling Moss wore them.

I need to get two more pairs in all black and cut fingers for the other cars. I've gotten to used to using them with that car and I've been driving it so much it's starting to feel wrong not having gloves in my other cars!

I drove a lot over this past weekend in one of my "special" cars where I wore gloves. Yesterday I got in my daily driver and it felt weird without them!

I'm sure there are still many grease monkeys working in the oil change pit and at the tire machine who don't wear gloves. Why would they?

But I can see why a tech would want to wear a disposable glove.

Of course I keep my engine so clean you can eat off it so no gloves are needed.

i bet even brand new tires leave residual stuff on your hands. i would def wear gloves!

to the fishing analogy, fish/bait is generally non-toxic but wouldn't you wear gloves handling one that is toxic?

Was trimming back flowers in my yard yesterday, just taking my rubber gloves off and throwing them away and having nothing on my hands was glorious

i know bunch of retired in various industries that the accumulated chemical exposure has brought dermatitis and other issues from the absorption over the years. They advised me to start early so that I do not have issues.

I wear nitrile gloves because I dislike my computer nerd hands being beaten up. Now I wear Milwaukee work gloves to preserve and protect the hands. The nerve damage I have the gloves provide some cushion before it becomes very painful.
