If they help improve your lift, use 'em. Your goal is to improve your lifts daily and growm its not to train your wrists!.

I call them wraps? is it just me or am i thinking of something different? Yea i use them sometimes when doing shrugs, i use 70kg barbells (about 155lbs) for shrugs and my grip at that weight isnt great, so they help out alot.
They take a lot of stress off of your forearms, so I dont use them, the way I think of it is this, If I can push the weight off my chest, or shrug them with my shoulders, then my grip should be strong enough to do it also. They only time that I even THOUGHT of using them was when Istarted doing deadlifts again, and those heavy deadlifts are tough, but hell it will make your forearms grow I would assume.

PS: I see a lot of people using them in teh gym, so to each their own.
i only use them for deadlifts and traps

I use them in high rep schemes. If I'm training back and doing 4-5 sets of 12-8 reps, then, yeah I use them.
Are you talking about a wrap that goes around just the wrist? I seen people use these things that look like really thick sweat bands around their wrists. I've never used those.
Any way, I use the straps for pulling excersises. I did straight leg deads once for 3 sets. I wanted to go 20-15-12-12, but because of the knarly bar, I could only manage the fist three sets with out the straps. I forgot them at home.
my gloves have them on em, so i always wear em
