what work gloves are you guys wearing? need new ones

>>2949303 (OP)
i go through a pair every 3 weeks or a month doing fab work. the index finger and thumb inevitably get burnt out. had been buying the wells lamount at $14/pr but theyre not great and made in the orient. so i gave the $5 buck chinkshitexpress ones a try and theyre solid. heavier made the the wells shit so im going to stick with them
if im doing primary welding i like the tillman 1464 with the doubled index and thumb

>>2949315
I've been using a pair of Trust gloves and like them so far. Trust is run by the guy who used to own Tillman until a few years ago when it got bought out by private equity and started going downhill, and they're pretty reasonably priced.

>>2949320
that website is dogshit and doesnt give a link to any dealers
3072 looks the same as tillman 1464 but the only place online had tbe non kevlar stitched 3070 at $28+tip. thats over double what im paying for 1464xl by the case

I used to buy Wells Lamont from Wal-mart and was constantly going through them. Hell one pair I bought late one night, went and used the hell out of them the next day and completely burned up every stitch in the entire index finger and thumb on both gloves. Took them back that night for a refund because it was bullshit that they didn't even last 24 hours. I WAS doing some serious welding, but come on man...

I started buying Tillmann 1420's and had good luck with them. But they're getting up there in price these days. Tried the split hide Tillmann's but they're kinda shit. The stitching is real weak and a guy can completely blow out a thumb and index finger real quick.

Bought these Kevlar stitched Black Stallion brand gloves from cyberweld at $3.85 a pair. Got 50 pairs of them. They're awesome and have held up as well as the Tillmann 1420's and probably even better. I do still have to re-stitch the thumb and index finger after a lot of welding and fencing, but they're holding up much better than anything else I've ever used before. Can't beat the price either...

Get a leather stitching awl and keep those babies going 4-5x as long...

>>2949303 (OP)
I love Kinco. Own a couple of pairs for snowboarding.

>>2949321
Yeah the site sucks. My local welding/gas supplier carries them (OXARC if you happen to be in OR/ID), might be one in your area too but IDK.

Can anybody recommend an alternative to these? They're the only work gloves I've ever found that I like but they're outrageously expensive now. Doesn't help that I've got small hands and they're just about the only gloves of their type that I can ever find in stock in Medium size.

>>2949303 (OP)
If you need to wear gloves then you need to work on toughening your hands up instead so you can use your hands as god intended.

God had no clue we'd invent welding and engines. He specialized in particle physics and love. He knows virtually NOTHING about timing belts, tig welding, or epoxy.

>>2949468
God knew we'd invent gloves.

>>2949482
God knew we'd invent dildo and anal beads and weed and MDMA. A total pervert.

I get these cheap Wells Lamont gloves whenever I find them on sale. Got the pair on the left from an Atwoods a few months back for $2-3. Mostly using them for prescribed fire, but I also usually them for the occasional barbed wire work or clearing green briar thickets.

>>2949303 (OP)
What kind of work? Welding (heat)? Chemical/oil resistance? Handling lumber?

>>2949468
God knew that women prefer men with working hands. Show a woman a pair of weathered hands with scars and wounds from years of labor and it's an instant VIP all access pass into her pants

>>2949303 (OP)
Depends what I am doing. For welding I use special welding gloves, when taking out the ash I use leather gloves, for the most other tasks I don't use gloves since they can smell and I hate having smelly hands.

>>2949542
based no gloves battler still living somehow. That pussy must be potent spirit mana

>>2949303 (OP)
yep winter is coming up. i get a pack of these every season for work my hands sweat easy so for me anything thicker makes my hands moister and colder. on the coldest days i double up on them. my job gets people refridgeawear brand but they are too much for me

>>2949303 (OP)
>what work gloves are you guys wearing
None, considering I was born with a pair of balls. I earned my tough palms and callouses by working for a living like a real man. Anytime someone shows up at my jobsite with a pair of gloves we all laugh at him and bully him mercilessly until he takes them off. If you're a pussy who wears work gloves just make sure they match your purse.

Wells lamont seems to be the best brand, i like the "hydrahide" line, it doesn't get all stiff when washed. I've been using the same pair of their leather work gloves for like 2 years and no seams have broken.

>black stallion 87k
i have a pair of these in my cart but keep contemplating adding a $500 optrel lid so i can make the free freight minimum
i need another helmet like a need a hole in the head though

>>2949415
this was what I was thinking, why didn't op just sew on a replacable patch?

>>2949303 (OP)
Thinking about getting a pair of Vermonters soon. Can anyone who owns them speak to their reliability and longevity?

>>2949748
Take it easy, Mike Rowe…

>>2949303 (OP)
ive been using these gloves. they are pretty decent, and have an inner liner thats comfy against bare skin.
i bought more expensive gloves from a local store and fond their dye get on my hand and half of them dont have any liner.

The real funny thing is he doesn't do enough actual hard work to wear gloves, therefore his opinion really truly doesn't matter. Anyone really busting their balls doing hard work knows that gloves are a necessity for hot and sharp things.

>>2949415
these look like they should have been stitched out of human skin

>>2949437
These are pretty good for having the fit and dexterity of mechanix gloves. There is also a cheaper variant that is $11 for a 3 pack. At the Homeless depot.

>>2949303 (OP)
Samurai. I haven’t found a better glove than this. They are durable but thin enough to retain dexterity, and they last several months of heavy, daily use before needing to be replaced. Like every glove of this style, the hot dip rubs off and holes eventually form, but I would still choose it over any other glove for electrical / line work.

>>2949303 (OP)
I like TIG/finework welding gloves because the leather is supple and allows for dexterity. I think the brand I own is watson
I use them for non-welding tasks too.

>>2954325
I don't think human skin would hold up as nicely as cowhide...

Started off looking like pic rel.

These are the best for general use. NOT the thick ones, the light breathable ones. They are grippy and cut resistant and smartphone compatible. Cheap enough to just replace when they break, or you can cut the finger tips off and keep using them.

For winter, you want Watson "Red Baron" white leather gloves.

sounds like a larp but 20+ years in the trades and i still havent worn out a set of gloves and my hands looks just fine although a little bit dirty most of the time.
every apprentice i ever had failed the
>hey gimmie a hand right now!!
test. every single one replied
>ok just let me get my gloves...
that wasnt an option, the only correct answer was to say nothing and just gimmie a hand right fuckin now. if you wear gloves they should be glued to your hand 24/7 no one has time to wait for you looking for them or putting them on. i dont use glves and i still get the job done, faster and cheaper. if i can do it so can they,
certain tasks are excused, like welding.

General question: Why the fuck are most leather work gloves YELLOW? I hate that color. If they get wet, they dye your hands yellow too. Oh don't buy Marks (work wearhouse) leather gloves, they are expensive dogshit. Won't last a day out in the woods collecting lumber/branches/logging. Cost $45/pair too. Complete waste of money. They are yellow too fyi.
