Sometimes, you have to make repairs in small spaces, around sharp objects or while groping in the dark. Work gloves make it impossible to handle smaller tools, however.

The simple solution to reduce the risk of injuries to your hands is to cut off the fingers of a cheap pair of work gloves. That protects the backs, but gives you the dexterity you need to get things done. Also gives you a better grip if your hands get wet.
