Working on my cars with gloves on?

jbharris said
The past couple months I have beat the hell out of my hands. Currently I have a blacked thumb nail, a chunk out of my finger and a bunch of scratches. I put a water pump on my Duramax and it looked like I was fighting a bobcat. Putting the seat slides on my 66 Barracuda is what cost me the chunk of finger. So today I broke down and a couple different pairs of Mechanix Gloves. It may sound weird but I don't know if I can get used to working with them.

Tillman makes some real nice leather gloves. I've been using this pair for the past two months. Once the fingers started getting big holes in them, I cut the tips off. Now these are my general work gloves, for threading nuts and other "precision" work. I have a new pair for cutting, grinding, burning, welding and handling cables.

For very greasy work, the black nitrile gloves work well, even doubled up.
