Metal working gloves

[Blobber]

Handcream. Put the leather gloves on and rub handcream over them. It sort of feeds them and makes them softer. Last longer also. Cheaper than leather feed.

ready for the bedroom.....

The anti cut gloves usually have carbon fibre mesh in them to stop anything penetrating them and this is the issue, they don't like any real heat due to the composition of the other components.

Rep demonstrated them by trying to cut the back of his hand with a Stanley knife and one of the guys asked if he could try his cutting tool and came out with a large splitting axe.

It depends what you need really. Those portwest a120 I posted are ideal for handling metal with burrs etc but I certianly wouldn't put a knife to them.

Really? For dexterity?

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't like fumbling around with enormous gloves when handling small parts.

Hi grim_d

Yeah, seriously. That leather is very supple, I can certainly manipulate nuts and bolts down to probably M6 with them on, possibly smaller. Of course, not especially heat resistant but...

The only ones that may have been better were my old RAF issue flying gloves but they were not especially durable and a shocking waste of probably very expensive pigskin!

You might want to give these a go: https://www.safetygloves.co.uk/cutter-gloves.html I had (still have, covered in tar) a pair of the CW300's and they were very good.

Just looking at the construction of them it's hard to imagine, they look like TIG gloves, the stitching around the fingertips adds a lot of bulk.

Perhaps I'm fussy, I have zero patience so any kind of fumbling around due to gloves makes me fly off into a cream puff.

I still enjoy fumbling around the wife, more so than she does it seems.

Thanks @northwest,

I think I might.

Hi,
I’ve been trying to find a decent pair of cut and abrasion resistant gloves that I can use to handle small and hot steel workpieces, small brackets and the like, when using our 600mm disc sander. (Caught a piece on it once and it went right through a pair of thin gloves and almost took my finger off).

My MIG gauntlets are too bulky to hold some of the smaller pieces although they’re good for the heat. Don’t use my deerskin TIG gloves for anything other than on the TIG.

I’ve got a pair I use for handling dirty and oily sheet materials, etc, but would like a pair for when I’m on the grinder, sander or bandsaw etc.

I bought a pair of Stanley Extreme from Screwfix but they didn’t last long. Tried to order a nice pair of leather cut level 5 Ejendals gloves but the largest they do is a size 10, apparently XL, but they were way too small for me. Struggling to find what I want in a size 11 or XXL.

Maybe I’m asking too much to have a good strong glove that allows some dexterity?

Does anyone have any recommendations please? Thanks!

Ha! you are definitely not asking too much.. This leather pair doesn't look bad https://shopmtn.co.uk/products/blaklader-welding-gloves
Lined, allows dexterity, heat resistant, cut resistant, offer smaller size (S-M) and great brand (at least for me)

The only thing is they are not cheap! You could call this guy to see if they can sell one pair instead of 6 pairs.

Dirty Rigger womens gloves are great as well. They are really snug fit but the most annoying thing is they usually have stock issue=(
