Re: Gloves!!!!

I generally don't wear gloves when working around the shop, unless I'm doing some cutting, grinding or welding type work.

I can tolerate the cuts, burns and scrapes that come with doing work on vehicles. I just can't stand the lack of fine feeling or touch when wearing mechanics gloves or other gloves. That and gloves always get caught on edges when you try to squeeze your hands into tight places.

For any heavy welding work, I really do like Gander gloves. I believe the Gander item number is 1525. I got a couple free pairs from work a couple years ago and I've been in love with them since.


I also rather enjoy the Miller TIG gloves for any light welding or TIG welding. They fit really nice and tight and have soft leather.


I actually usually carry the Miller TIG gloves around at work too. With my job I don't need to have gloves on all the time, but when I do these ones actually work quite nicely. And being made out of thinner material, they fold up and still fit in my coverall pockets nicely.
