A punnel could be used, but again, the idea was to show it being possible by DIYers and punnels are few and far between in the typical DIYers shed.
I have reached the level of non typical DIY'er! I own two pairs (three if you include the pair with the knackered lining that I have got round to throwing out) of steelies and a punnel, homemade of course, picture to follow!!

It's something every man should own. Men are more likely to have mascara than WD40, clamps, duct tape etc though.

Men should moisturise! Especially in this hotter and sunnier weather :)

I draw the line at mascara, though.

I am guilty of moisturing my hands occasionally, get called a poof for it too :laugh:

If I've had my hands in muck all day or if they're dried out and scraped from laying blocks or bricks all day then I use it.
