These callouses seem to be self filing - and they haven't ever fallen off - if I was to work my hands till they bled - then maybe that would be the case? - my thumb and index (pointing) finger don't seem to get calloused - just the other 3

When you work with your hands you build deep callouses.
stapling wire reaching in your pouch gets them tough.
Now a days the young guys wear gloves in the john FFS !
I also washed the dishes by hand to get them clean and kept them trimmed.
You need them for other tasks

Try that with macular degeneration and a cataract......
Ever tried pulling a very alive 43 kilo (about 95lb) sailfish onto a launcha - in a choppy Pacific Ocean - with no gloves on? - he didn't want to get on the boat that's for sure - ripped my hands up a bit - glad it was not something that I had to do every day - but sport fishing is kinda exhilarating - I must say - lots of yelling and blood spatter - fishing for Marlin - Sailfish - Dorado - and Tuna -
They ain’t no retreads that’s for sure.

I feel ya, my eyes are failing also 30 some years looking at bright lights.
No feeling in my finger tips from callouses,, fingers not working right because of arthritis, they don't articulate like they used too.
Can't pick up a hammer or screwdriver anymore my fingers lock around it, have to pry them off one by one.
Can't clap anymore, hard to put in hands in pocket,, so no more pocket pool.
Only 1 good wrist
