Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?

Just a tip:

Don't use pliers...

Right--because vice-grips will work much better.

Handling anything with fingers always adds oil artifacts; why would you want oil on tubes, light bulbs, etc. Oil attracts dust......I no longer use tube gear, but when I did, I used latex medical gloves....I still use these gloves when I open gear to do my mods.

I was at SWAF And was in  the ARC room. I noticed those guys weren’t using gloves and ask one of them about it. He said it was unnecessary and I would say those guys are experts

They say it's the oil on your fingers.But years ago they sold tube's for your tvs and radios in all the drug stores .There were no gloves...used then.

+1, @limomangus , I think that's a safe bet.
