Thank You Edd China
Being middle aged and old school I've never worn the latex mechanics
gloves , but I thought why not try them and wow they are pretty good.
Clean hands and less scratches is all good I did manage to rip my first pair installing a Borgeston unit but I think I will keep using them

I do not know the show, but what you are talking about is me. I said I would never wear gloves because I always felt they made it harder to do stuff. Well a couple years ago I started using latex disposible gloves and cannot believe why I was soo stubborn. Clean hands after turning a wrench is so much better.

If you want to see Bernie at his best (or worst - he is an absolute joke) go look for
Bangla Bangers & London Chop Shop.
Where they start in Bangladesh with a designer called Leepu.
Amazing shows and when based in Bangladesh you get to see how they rebirth cars. Amazing seeing a car stripped to bare metal using heaps of people using broken hacksaw blades.

That reminds me of a show I saw where giant ships go to die; in India where an army of barefoot men disassemble them like ants on a dead rat.
The one thing that gets me about these shows, it that they only fix what's broken, and if a part or assembly functions, there's no need to give it any further attention. The purchaser is getting far from a complete restoration, but at least he's getting a car that was on TV.

I first discovered them when I was helping my former boss put struts on a oil covered pile of Honda Civic. At first I didn't like them, but I've used them ever since. I was a professional tech for many years and now I won't even check my oil without them. It's so much easier to wash up. Solvents, carb cleaners etc go right into the blood stream and can't be any good for you. I now find find myself questioning techs who have greasy hands.
