Re: Gloves

I buy the nitrile gloves from wherever available. I do not see much difference in quality. Since they are not left/right handed, I swap them to get a cleaner palm until they get a tear and then get a single replacement glove. Sometimes I keep those with a small hole for jobs like painting where full...

Re: rust and torque values

I would add the thought that many inexperienced people are worried:

A. They leave the fastener too loose and it falls off.

The subject of threaded joints and fasteners becomes very technical. There are many thick books on the subject.
