Which do you like less, house maintenance or vehicle maintenance?

When working on vehicles, I wear a pair of nitrile gloves, then some sort of mechanic type glove over the nitrile. The mechanic style glove protects me from most cuts, bruises, burns, gouges, etc, and the nitrile keeps all the oil off that soaks through. Make clean up a lot easier.

A skilled person doesn't hurt them self when wrenching on things mechanical.

A SMART PERSON ask HOW MUCH & HOW LONG?

If you're not proficient at something, perhaps you should learn to barter.

When I was in high school I worked in a shop that specialized in Italian cars. Alfa Romeos mostly, the occasional Ferrari came in but I was quarantined from them.

An old "off the boat" Italian man would hang around the shop a lot and he told me "Ya know, the Japanese don't allow hammers in their garages. You should never need to use a hammer on a car." I realized he was full of shit immediately, but learned later in life that he meant that things can be done without smashing or beating on them if you take your time and use your head.

Knuckles always get smashed now and then though.

There was a day when I'd wrench bare handed, and break for pizza without washing my hands, but I've softened up over the years, and after the Bilstein install on my Tacoma a couple weeks ago, I'll probably start wearing nitrile gloves.
