Yes Joe,
I agree on the abuse of Insulated gloves.
We are required to store them 2 seperate tubes (the rubbers I mean) Left and Right.
I had an aprentice Line Mechanic put a Screwdriver right through the middle of my Left glove one day, when stored as required, good thing I was always taught to roll them up before wearing them, as we were working on 66kV Delta Lines!
