Mechanix Gloves

I bought a pair of gloves before overhauling the engine in my daughters 300D. I had never used gloves before that point. I did not want to give up the feel I needed to thread nuts and bolts with my hands, particularly small ones.

I have a neighbor who wears gloves no matter what he's doing. I swear, this guy could overhaul a watch with a pair regular old bulky leather work gloves.

I started wearing them all the time in the beginning of the engine overhaul. Then, I found myself using too much time taking them off to handle a small bolt or nut, then the time to put them back on, so I sort of got out of the habit.

Now, I only use them in cold weather to keep those cold wrenches and parts from sucking the heat completely out of my hands.

My thoughts are that I will always keep them handy, but avoid using them unless I have to.

Have a great day,
