The jobs are gutter hanging and window fitting in December :-o

They won't be on for longer than 5 minutes at a time - it's practically
impossible to hold screws, nuts, bolts etc with gloves on


Actually I find you *can* fit screws, nuts, and bolts with the gloves I
suggested. They are not *quite* delicate enough to remove a single screw
easily from a box until you get to about 2 inch No 8's.

Cheers,

I'll give them a try - can always cut the tips off the thumb and first
finger if needs be.

Looking at how the gutter is fitted now, it's probably going to be
coachscrews into piloted holes - and 50% of the job will be marking out and
pilot drilling.

The fiddly bit that the gloves may well impede will be the wibbly little
bolts on the joints. Glad all this is at 7' off the ground
