Interesting responses from those supporting the use of gloves. In my case, when I was a kid I had my Dad's drill and when finished with the hole I laid the drill aside. I had inadvertently hit the Dead man switch on the drill and the bit caught my shirt tail and began, very quickly, winding itself in my shirt heading towards my throat. Today it is like looking back at a cartoon, but at the time i was very seriously flailing around on the floor with both hands holding that darned drill for all I was worth. All clothing, including gloves are front of mind for me as a result, so no. No gloves for me.
