Quality leather work gloves

Must be nice :flipoff2:

I have a tiered glove system with 3 pairs in various stages of their rotation. The newest pair on the floor is for things like opening gates, getting tools out, picking up trash, rolling hoses, opening valves and pushing buttons etc.

The middle pair is a demoted clean pair. Still dry and clean inside but oily on the outside and would make a nasty mess of gates, valve handles or buttons. They’re already at the sacrificial level. Won’t be to bummed if they get finished off grabbing something hot and oily. Sometimes they end here and go straight to the trash once putting them on will get oil on my skin.

3rd pair is an even further demoted second pair. Their only use is tire chains. I’m fisting fender wells full of mud. My chains are already muddy hanging on the back bumper from yesterday. When I chained up this morning it was 24° and my chains were frozen mud.

I need to get better about glove segregation, especially working around sewer. We have latex or whatever, doctors type gloves, but sometimes you need something a little tougher.

I wear the 8 mil nitrile gloves I posted inside work gloves if I need work gloves in nasty crap. It's pretty awesome to shed the work gloves, Windex & wipe down the nitriles, then take off clean nitrile gloves with clean hands.

I've done that a few times. It can get pretty clammy though. Luckily I'm not usually the one in the mix of it. But it happens.
 
Who ever recommended torch fitting a set of driver gloves… thank you. These where brand new 10 minutes ago 😆

Tillman 1432 driver gloves.

We started buying them for the tig welders in the shop and they work great for that. Now I use them at home as well. Usually one set for welding and one set for grease/dirt work out at any given time.

Install glove on hands, fire up propane or mapp torch and run it over your hand. These are now a perfect fit. I did rub them down in leather condition post heat which changed their colour from some of the soot off the torch. I was shocked how much these gloves shrunk to fit my hand, now the fingers are nice and tight. I can easily thread bolts in and out with them unless they are micro sized
