Got me a hundred pack at Wal Mart. Was just wondering if it's overkill about like wearing a helmet to ride a bicycle to the corner store.
I get mine from Harbor Freight when I have a 25% off coupon. I used them when I was doing airbrushing miniatures. Saved having to clean paint off my hands all the time. I started using them cleaning my guns as well. Don't have to wash up after cleaning now is the biggest thing. Side benefit of not leaving any oils/fingerprints behind on the guns as well. Is it necessary? Not at all, and if I wasn't already in the habit of buying them I probably wouldn't start. However it is nice not having to wash up afterwards.

Plus I rolled up some pairs and put them in my med kits.
