After posting those photos of my gloves I went to a job assembling large metal doors where they didn’t provide me with gloves and now my hands really really hurt a lot, which is kinda ironic I guess. Interesting observation - they had things that were powered by the wrong sort of source. A forklift truck was fueled by gas, in that it had a tank of the kind you find in a heater and the exhaust smelt, well, like a gas heater, and the electric screwdriver wasn’t electric - it was powered by compressed air. All very odd.

Followers of the American sitcom Tim “the toolman” Taylor will know that bigger is always better and when it comes to torque then compressed air gives much more torque than electricity. That’s why people stranded on the motorway look so helpless with a flat tyre - the garage used compressed air to tighten the wheel nuts and there is no way their flimsy hand wrench from the toolkit will ever undo them.
