Tubes are pretty tough. I once had a nice bag of 6SN7's dropped onto a glass counter by the owner of the store. I was pissed but he laughed and said he was sorry but he used to work at a tube factory and they would throw the large boxes of tubes across the floor.
Gloves for tubes? No, as mentioned above these tubes don't need that. They don't get hot enough to cause problems and again for the most part they are tough. I have tubes from the 1920's both NOS and used that are going strong with excellent vacuum and they have been handled and bounced all over the place.
