When to use gloves if ever?

Got a beginner mate working out with me and he's never lifted before. His Missus bought him some weight training gloves and I have never used them before. So when is it appropriate to use them if ever.........I've never used them but tried them for my deadlift and it worked wonders purely for the extra grip I obtained.

Cheers
 
their not needed unless you have a torn callous that your giving time to heal properly.
it will also come down to goals.
gloves increase the perceived thickness of the bar and can cause grip issues if you plan to compete in powerlifting. as it also unconditions your hands to the harsh knurling.
in other words they slowly give you soft girl hands. hahahaha :D
but i believe even the bodybuilders here frown uppon gloves for the same reasons, or there abouts
 
I use mine when I'm getting the hot baking tray out of the oven. Also when pouring molten metal while making swords.
