 |

To All,
A few months ago I bought a pair of "mechanic's gloves". These gloves
are the type made for working on engines and the like. The only ones
of this type the store had were Wells-Lamont brand "MechPro". The
gloves are great because they have a velcro closure that keeps stuff
from falling down into them, they wear well, and are washable. To
clean I just put the gloves on and squirt dishwasing soap on 'em and
wash them like I was washing my hands. Then I take them off, squeeze
them a few more times, and rinse them out. All the oil washes right
out. They dry fast. Being completely man-made I would not use them for
welding and the like. But they even work well for stacking split wood.
I'm sure any well made glove of this type would have the same
advantages.

Kind of ironic, but as a mechanic, I work best with no gloves, or with the
only tool I will buy from HF, nitrile exam gloves. I do have a set of the
"mechanix" gloves, handy for handling rough metal, but my woven kevlar
butcher gloves are best for carrying metal with sharp edges. I have a few
sets of them, handy for welding as they don't transfer heat, but the only
new ones I can find have plastic dots for grip on them that melt when
picking up hot metal

Last I knew, both McMaster and Grainger carried the plain Kevlar gloves
in various weights. I first bought them for winter camping trips - it's
easy to burn holes in a pair of polyester gloves playing with the
campfire, but the Kevlar gloves are remarkably tough and heat resistant.
Pretty cheap, too.

eBay can be much cheaper than even online retail. Oh, I guess that I
shouldn't have said. Now I'll have competition driving up the bid 8-}

Lots of blacksmiths get the reversible (either hand) kevlar jersey
gloves. They work well for handling hot or sharp metal and are
reasonably priced.

They are also nice inside other gloves - as they are both knife cutting safe
(skinning...) and the web forms a layer to insulate (heat) that
rubber or leather gloves don't provide.
