I highly recommend latex mechanic gloves.Where I worked before retirement, they had a policy in the latter years that gloves should/must be worn for most tasks.They provided them of course as well as safety shoes,glasses, and uniforms with reflective stripes. At first there was a lot of resistance,but the latex are nice-they keep your hands clean(used motor oil is known carcinogen), and protected. If a glove tears yank it off and replace it,but they are actually quite durable. I actually reuse them a lot of the time. Also the mechanic leather type gloves are good too. I was surprised at the time that your dexterity is not too bad and got very used to them. Even with my slightly arthritic hands I can still start bolts or pick up things.Just one thing -there are different brands and quality- so choose accordingly.Also I don't like the ones with the Velcro strap on the wrist, just the slip on type of mechanic gloves(Mechanix brand I think). Napa has good latex gloves. An extra layer before you get a cut is a good thing, and so are non greasy hands. Mark.
