Afternoon all.
I’m back after some crazy goings on in this last week. But I would like to continue to discuss some real good-for-your-money gear.
GLOVES
When it comes to gloves, there are differing opinions in the welding world. Some think just buy cheap gloves to do the job and replace when necessary. Others think spend the money and have high quality gloves to protect yours hands.
I belong to the latter.
I don’t like the feel of cheap gloves and I don’t like buying gloves every month. There are many different brands of gloves to choose from and many high quality options.
Tillman is still a leader in the glove world. The 750 series is quite possibly the most comfortable gloves I have ever used. They are an Elk-skinned glove that retain their softness even when heat is applied. Where leather gloves stiffen up and make it difficult to move your fingers, the Elk skin uses the oils from your hands to stay soft. And they last a ridiculously long time. I had to buy a pair every 3-4 months, it was great.
BSX also has some fine gloves that are worth your dollar. Their black stallion series not only look cool, but they protect while lasting forever.
So whatever your fancy, find a pair of gloves that allow you to move, grab, point and pull the trigger on performing high quality welds.
