Maybe there a some kind of tools making rolling easier

 
Thanks

Well I have big hands so I use the Electro-harmonix tube glove
I also swap tubes hot so I need it. Here is the link for it
ONe of the things you can do is use an old rubber cable and wrap it around the tube and pull up slightly and wiggle it around that works kinda...
any rubber piece will probably work
heres the link for the tube glove

I use tape that's not too adhesive attached to the top of the tubes to make a handle. One hand pressing down and holding the tape onto the tube and wiggling gently if required and the other lifting the handle to pull the tube out of the socket.
 
DeoxIt Pro Gold applied to the tube pins also makes tube rolling a lot easier.

It can be frustrating. I wish they had set the tubes about a 1/4 of an inch higher. They would have run cooler to though tubes mostly run hot as it is their nature.

Hello,
 
thanks for the fast answers. Well, the tube glove has been ordered from a german dealer. I will check out some kind of rubber tube dampers for changing. Maybe it works.

So you think that the tube glove was the right decision? One Second-Not bad

It will allow you to pull tubes in one second and pull hot tubes out if you want to do like I do and be an impatient Headfi guy..
You can't go wrong with it. Once you use it you will be like wow no more struggle. Im sure tape works as well
if you want to sticky up your tubes but the tube glove doesn't just go over the tube it grabs it so all you have to
do is pull up..

I wear a condom (Magnum) over my thumb and index finger.  Works like a charm, and the added benefit you ask?  Little chance of impregnating the tube.

My slow technique room temp cool down or fan for fast cool down and then disposable purple nitrile gloves.  Any latex glove will also work.  Suckers come off easily.  No Michael Jackson gloves necessary.
