Gloves when working on engine?
Saturday, June 26, 2010 8:35 PM
Does anyone wear gloves while working on their engine. Everytime I seem to work on my engine lately I end up with small scrapes and knuckle rashes and dirty hands. I was looking at Amazon.com and found these:

And before you start flaming because I get stuff at Amazon.com I was just asking if they are good or not. I tried wearing thick gloves but can't feel for wires, etc and they don't work. Does anyone got these or could suggest a better pair?

Since your simple brain cannot figure it out any gloves that you wear are going to impair you sense of touch. Grow some god damn balls. Try working on a jet engine after its had flown for 4 hours then complain about how a car is hot and you get knuckle rash. Go play in the highway already.

Gear heads are judged by the scars on your knuckles. Grow some balls.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

i have several different brands and numerous pairs of gloves similar to mechanix wear and none of the get used much
because of the lack of feeling and what not.
yeah my hands look a lil fukced up if ya look at them but oh well i guess
maybe look into the fingerless mechanix gloves
or maybe the nitrile rubber gloves piercers are supposed to wear.

idk.

Im a 100lb girl that has rebuilt multiple engines and I've done plenty of 'grunt work'. I have yet to wear gloves.

I wear gloves when its insanely cold out, or when the part of the motor i need to work on is really hot.

Otherwise, please see my sig.

I only wear gloves now so my hands don't look like I punch cheese graters in another year. I use some of the blue rubber gloves when working with fluids. Easier since I don't need to wipe my hands off.

I got my share of scars though

i wear whatever nitrile gioves my parts department gives me for free... because of all the customer cars i'm in, getting grease inside creates more work for me... therefore gloves...

Please grow one of these.

I reallly only use my mechanix gloves for when im change the boost on the turbo...damn internal wastegate. Definitely wanna wear gloves when touching that sucker!

And yes, can always tell a mechanic from the scars on their hands. Mine are covered...

Thats why I didnt like wearing gloves. Sometimes you cant see what your trying to do very well and feel is the only way to do it.

The only time I have ever worn gloves is when the heilo engines were to hot to touch without instantly getting a 3rd degree or worse burn. If it was not hot I was wearing no gloves due to most of the time having to work with no eyes. Gotta love how engineers design @!#$ so maintainers cannot easily work on it haha. Oh and on my car I have yet to wear gloves since I have the option to wait till @!#$ is cooled down.

Those helo engines get hot as $hit, and yeah impossible to work on, Heck even our comm HMMWV's were impossible to easily work in, though with experience your hands knew what to move.

The only time you should wear gloves is if you do it every day, my dads hands will never look clean. Or your chick has herpes......

I work on tractor trailers for a living. I wear mechanics gloves to keep from losing knuckles and vinyl disposable gloves when changing oil and greasing the truck.

You know, as the years have ticked by there is special clothing for everything anymore.

Bicycle riders: Seems they "need" the special spandex outfit and goofy shoes. It must be impossible to ride a bike in jeans and a shirt.

Soccer Players: The whole goofy outfit with proper shoes

Basketball Players: The "shorts" that appear many sizes too big and the long shirt, Oh and of course the "special" shoes

Running shoes
Walking shoes
Tennis shoes
Jogging shoes
Boat Shoes

Oh the list could go on and on. Sports stores don't so much sell sporting supplies and equipment but rather specialize in selling the special clothing for any given sport!

I understand that for some aspects there are inherent design pluses and minuses but it has gone to the extreme. As a kid we had a pair of Keds, high tops, and if you were rich, a pair of low tops as well. They worked well for EVERY sport a kid could ever play! Came in White and Black.

Gloves for mechanic work? Why not? Maybe we could invent a special spandex mechanics outfit as well to show off the well developed beer bellies and butts of our professionals.

I've NEVER used gloves for repair work. They get in the way, you can't feel anything and they could also get stuck somewhere where you do NOT want you hand to be stuck! Skin gives way and allows you to withdraw it from the cramped tight spot. After almost 5 decades of use, I still have 10 complete fingers and an array of scars to prove that I've been there and done that.

I wear rubber gloves when I change pads and mechanix gloves when I'm pretty sure I'm going to rip open a finger. Otherwise, no gloves.
