The biggest reason I believe to use copper chore boys' is that they are CHEAP and extremely effective. A pack for $2-3 will last me the rest of my life. The two criteria I look for in products are...

I got a leather welders apron at harbor freight for $10.00. It seems to be pretty well made and plenty thick. Cheap insurance I say.
