The only thing they seem good for is oil changes or packing wheel bearings.
The kind of greasy jobs where washing your hands takes as long as doing the
job.

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.

Also I think there's a lot less cussing and sweating in an operating
room. Most organs are soft and squishy and cut pretty easily compared
to rusted shock bolts...
