I guess the better ones hold up for a while, but on jobs like that, they probably shred pretty quickly. I haven't tried latex gloves in close to 20 years when they first started marketing them towards the repair industry. |

People are different. And operating rooms are usually cold, whereas shops are more on the warm side. |

I like my Mechanix gloves. They come off when doing "fine" work, but for stuff like spark plugs they save a lot of wear and tear on the knuckles... I bleed a lot less. They aren't fireproof, but you are less worried about burning yourself around hot parts. Ray |

Most organs are soft and squishy and cut pretty easily compared to rusted shock bolts... |
