I've been using surgical gloves since 1983. I usually wear two pair, that way if one gets torn or really gunky I can slide it off and put on another one. I haven't tried the mechanix gloves though, might be ok, but they're gonna get nasty. They are washable... The other issue is dexterity. With surgical gloves I can pick up very small parts and handle them... Not sure if I could do the same with the mechanix gloves I can tell you that wearing the rubber gloves has saved my hands on numerous occasions... What would have required stitches barely broke the skin. What would have resulted in a severe burn destroyed the glove and let me know it was hot. :) What would have taken 15 minutes to clean up from takes about 1.5 seconds. If I need to test drive a rig I can just slide the top glove off and touch stuff without making a mess. I'm finding more and more folks using gloves now... like to think I started something... ;) It all started because of my work in the semiconductor industry where you had to wear gloves because your hands would contaminate the equipment! Believe it or not my wife is the one that actually suggested using the gloves when we had to go somewhere and I didn't want to get all dirty... worked great. I usually buy the disposable rubber gloves, two boxes of 100 each for around $10 at costco... Some of the drawbacks to using rubber gloves is that they dissolve in gasoline or Diesel, will tear in caught on a screw (of course your flesh would be left behind too), your hands get sweaty and funky and working with duct tape or electrical tape could earn you a spot on funniest home videos. :) john - ---------------------------------------------------- john-at-wagoneers.com http://www.wagoneers.com Snohomish, WA, where Jeeps don't rust, they mold...

When I first started working on cars (about 3 years ago), one of the major benefits of working with my dad was his endless supply of latex surgical gloves... ...he's a dentist.
