Tig Gloves

[Robert1998]

I think in Spain nobody weldes.

It is very hard to find the equipment, so I´m going to buy it in UK. The shipment is high, so I prefer to spend the money in a good ones. I have found the Ultima gold. The derskins model I haven´t be able to find it.

Another thing is that a lot of them are XL and my hands, I think are L.

A good model that are made in L size?

Thanks for your answer.

The Tillman are very soft not for every day use. The rhino tec are nice also. The portwest are similar if not the same as toolstation ones.

btw, just a headsup:

These are crap. They're nicely made, and look bitchin', but the double stitching inside is nearly half as thick as a finger, they're really numb and horrible to use.

I hate gloves like that, they actually hurt your fingers when they are like that have some mig gloves they hurt like hell

I like the Ultima Gold gloves but you need to try them on in the shop as the sizes are random. I went through a large bin of them in the shop before I got a matching pair that actually fitted me.

 

[Robert1998]

Yes, the problem is in Spain the offer of welding equiptment is very low

I see your Rhino tec and raise you Rhino Protection!
(whatever the hell they are)

By a stroke of luck, bad luck as it happens but hey! I was sent these Rhino's by mistake. I love them and now have a couple of pairs in the stores, great for my general Mig welding and when I am trying to destroy something with the Tig The BSX are heavyweight but I find they are good for stick.

The Tillman are terrible, I cut the velcro straps off in the end and I wouldn't be given another pair. The Ultima Deerskins are the mutts but a bit too dear to be destroying the way I did the first pair. The very best for fine Tig work. Not that I can do fine Tig work mind :-)

the bsx look on par with the miller mig gloves!

Got my fresh delivery turn up yesterday.
Short cuff and soft.
Went for some kevlar sleeves also to keep my arms from burning.

They are from blue demon
I get my stuff from oz welding supplies but there is a uk dealer now from endless welding which should save on postage if only a few items

Just looked at uk price difference though. (Over Twice the price)
How many would you want?

UK to auz dollar exchange plus as bought a bit get a favourable rate. And buying in bulk helps. Hence the 5 pairs of gloves.
