Tug gloves or Arc gloves?

I can tell you without a doubt, HF welding gloves will NOT protect you from the jaws of a Cardinal bird. They can pinch right through them with a good amount of finger skin included. 😲

When I used to grow grapes around the garden, I covered them in netting one year. One morning I found a Cardinal tangled in the net. I fetched my welding gloves and while trying to extract the bird from the net, he clamped down on a finger. I got him free and held my hand open palm so he could fly away. Noooooooo. He stayed there for a good 10-seconds administering punishment. I took the netting down and gave up on the grapes.
Wow. Quite the experience. I grow grapes and have found that I get less bird damage with the green grape varieties. Apparently they blend in with the leaves color and aren’t such an inviting target.

I just bought new HF welding gloves to prune the many rose bushes. The first year that I completed the task unscathed.
Similar, I use one HF cowhide glove when harvesting wild Himalayan blackberries.

I pull a cane out of the snarl using a gloved hand, then pluck the berries while the tension on the cane gives something to pull against.
