I use both, heavy work gloves when tearing down and often Surgons gloves I get from my doc for 15$ the 100. Both work well for me, the surgons gloves are great for that nasty stuff you are cleaning and the heavy gloves super when useing a powered wire wheel. No cuts on hands, they are leather.

Doc, guess what '63 MGB engine parts I have stored in a bunch of 35mm film cannisters....

I've so many of 'em one drawer inna toolbox looks like a camera store. Shims for both types of engines, labeled as to engine & size, small screws 'n nuts, basically all sorts of stuff. The old aluminum ones are what I still use for film: Epoxie'd end-to-end and wrapped in electrical tape, number'd on the lids for tracking/caption purposes. Had a couple rolls in one of these "contraptions" a week ago, took 'em into the local camera shop for processing. Lad behind the counter was astounded by it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif "WOW! Where'd ya get those? That's a great way to keep track of a shoot!" -- kids... sheesh.

My daughter found an old style "church-key" can opener while going through a drawer and couldn't figure out what it was used for.
Thought I was crazy trying to tell her that the pointy end was for opening beer cans and the round end for the bottles....

You could argue tradition vs. slow engineering, a lot of Mexican beer bottles still need that little opener.

Most micro-brews don't have twist-off caps either. When we toured Yards Brewery they told us the twist off caps don't get tight enough.
I won't argue as ther beer is great! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thirsty.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
