No, that's not what I meant at all. I was thinking maybe chemical exposure, grip, GF hates it, don't want grease under your nails if you have a white collar job, etc.

I just see people using them for everything and I can't help buy wonder why.

If I ripping an exhaust apart I glove up for sure, but a 10mm bolt in a car interior? Maybe I've been watching too many DIY you tube videos lol
