Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?

Interesting. I haven't dropped any yet but they do not improve grip, that's for sure. 

Hated the halogens, at least in the house. Good for starting fires, not much else.  OTOH, I had halogen bulbs in my truck that lasted over 120k miles and they were on 100% of the time. It's the only good thing I have to say about them but............there is that. :)

When I owned tube equipment, I always wore the cotton gloves.

I use kitchen tongs.

Just kidding. I use my teeth.

No, but I wash my hands if they're oily.  

Gloves might be nice if they aren't slick.  I don't like to wait for the tubes to cool off.. 🙂

I used to until I found out it doesn't matter.
