BEST WORK GlOVES??

[mastercraftka]

May seem silly, but I am looking for a glove that won't wear holes after three or four uses. I cut, split and handle firewood at least 3 times per week and I like the gloves that I am using now, but they just don't seem to hold up very long.

I am using hydra hyde with the velcro around the wrist. I like that because I don't get saw dust down in the gloves.

Anyone have a good glove that you get better life out of than I am getting?

Thanks,

I like just plain un insulated leather gloves. Brand doesn’t seem to matter but Wells Lamont is a common one.

I thought the hydra hides were great until I used them to lay some stone and then the seams came apart.

I have a few pairs of kevlar lined leather gloves from a previous job, leather is long wore off on a few areas stitching is falling apart but the kevlar liner will still stop meat hooks so I still use them.

Ya i like those but really want a glove with velcro around the wrist to keep dust and stuff out. And the ones with the draw string don't stay tight.

I've not seen that style glove made of heavy leather that also has a closed cuff. Wells Lamont make some other types.

I use these leather Carhartt gloves for firewood and working in the woods. The leather holds up well, and the elastic cuff keeps the glove from filling with sawdust when using a chainsaw.

Unfortunately, the local hardware stores only carry the style with the open cuff, so I have to order these online. (I did try the hardware store ones first, since I like to support the local stores, but they just filled up with sawdust when cutting wood.)

They also make a version that is lightly insulated, waterproof, and breathable. I use them in the winter with good results. They are not super-insulated, but enough for most of my use. If it's really cold out and I have rough work to do, I'll wear these with a light glove liner and sometimes put one of those chemical hand warmer packets inside the glove on the back of my hand. The insulation is light enough that I can still easily handle a chainsaw.

After destroying my hydra hides doing stone work, these look like better values to me.

$2.64 (should take to Walmart link but why it says Robot or human, IDK)

I love those deer skin ones as well but they don't have the closed cuff and they don't last very long either.

I've recently converted to this style and happy I did. Great grip so fatigue is reduced, and great for firewood because splinters wont penetrate the coating.

I get a kick out of these gloves. If you buy them be sure to remember on try to cut yourself with your chainsaw on the top of your left hand only. I wonder if the sell safety shoes that will protect your left big toe only?

Because the left hand is the single largest area of injury. The right hand is not really at much risk. Putting the protection where it's most needed while trying to preserve mobility where it's not.

I see, makes sense. This also confirms that there is a giant conspiracy against left handed people.
