Well, maybe you can't exactly "pick up a dime", but you get the point,
your hands are not nearly as encumbered as if you were wearing thick
gloves. They sure beat having that nasty black build-up under your
nails and in your pores.
BTW, I got the idea from seeing mechanics in several auto dealerships
using them.
As for deterioration in chemicals, etc., That's a good lesson for all of
us. If they disolve latex gloves how could the same chemicals possibly
be good on bare skin!
