So ... you didn't want to know what I thought of it?

FWIW, I am becoming increasingly fond of wearing nitrile gloves from HF.  
They're only a couple of cents apiece, and now come in several different 
thicknesses.  For packing bearings, I just don a pair of the thinnest (and 
cheapest) ones, then pack the bearing the old fashioned way by smearing grease 
across my left palm and scraping it off with the edge of the roller cage.  When 
you're all done, and the bearing is in place, just peel off the gloves and drop 
them in the car.

I still don't wear them for everything, but they work great for packing 
bearings.
