Sad day boys.. gonna have to throw this pair of gloves out here soon. Might stitch them up one more time and run them a bit longer, but it's pretty much at the point of diminishing returns now. Left hand is worn through on just about every finger. I'm always grabbing hot metal and getting burned through the holes now... Been stitched up 5 or 6 times already, and just about done for. They've seen a lot of cutting, grinding, welding, and barbed wire fence repair. The pair on the right is the exact same brand and style of gloves this pair started as. I suppose I got my $3.95 out of them, but still sad to see them go. Probably give them to the dog to chew on for one last hurrah. What brand gloves are you running? Got these off Cyberweld and they kick ass for the price. Kevlar stitched, but I still end up burning out the stitching eventually. Use a speedy leather stitching awl to fix them back up and keep them running for 10x the lifespan. I have about 75 more pairs on hand. If they last as long as this pair did I'll be set for a while.
>>3004420>What brand gloves are you running?I have a rubbermaid full of the cheap purple trimmed gray leather gloves that I kept swiping from a factory I worked at years ago. Every time someone would leave a pair on the break table I would scalp em
Three years on this pair. construction, remodel and maintenance. i've done at least 4 houses in this set. complete tear-out and modernization: Plumbing, electrical, furring, framing, sheet rock, cabinetry, HVAC, texture & paint. dozens of lesser remodels, repairs & hundreds of service calls. that's just at my paying job. they've been my farm, ranch & homestead construction pair as well.I have another set that I sometimes throw on, but they blew out early. these have been my go-to, my best pair yet.the only reason they are still around is that I do a lot of work bare handed. much of what I do requires fine motor dexterity.
why are you being a brand bitch for gloves
How would I go about altering an existing pair of gloves to fit better?
>>3004614>why are you being a brand bitch for glovesYou talking to me, the OP?I've had bad luck with wells-lamont gloves in the past. I've seriously bought a pair and blew out/burned up the stitching on the entire index finger side of the gloves in less than 24 hours. Completely trash. Had a lot better luck with Tillmans, but they still get burned up way sooner than they should. The Kevlar stitching in these gloves resists burning up much better, and at the price of 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of the Tillmans it's just a way better deal. When I find a brand of something I like at a killer deal, I stock up on them in a big way if feasible. >>3004622>How would I go about altering an existing pair of gloves to fit better?What kind of gloves? Leather? Are they too big? If so you could stitch them smaller to fit your hands better and then cut off the excess material. If they're too small or tight in areas, then just force them on and wear/use them and they will stretch out and fit your hand

>>3004667Soft hands that have never ruined a pair of gloves typed this post.
>>3004668we get ityou're a very hard and rugged manly man in your gloveswrite a few more paragraphs about how much you love your gloves, you don't sound like a larp at all
>>3004678I think he's fishing for fetish content desu
>>3004678We get it bro. You've never done any manual labor and now you're seething because someone posted up a thread about some obviously used gloves on 4chins. Instead of moving on to the next thread that pertains to you about "wat a girl do" you just had to shid and fard and seethe bigly in this thread.
This is the best work glove on the market right now. It is far and away better than any other glove. >Extreme dexterity >Very breathable and comfortable unlike other gloves of this style> Can use your smartphone while wearing them (actually works, not shitty)>High visibility so you don't lose them>Fits in your back pocket so you always have them when you need them>Cheap enough to throw out when it gets holes in itThere are also versions with higher cut resistance also for metalworking or glass or whatever but they start to get thicker around cut level 6.

>>3004757i agree this style of glove is the best for all your reasonsthe maxiflex is better bit and function imoalso like 50% more costweird that gloves are the one thing milwaukee is the cheap contender on
>>3004877*fit and functionthey don't make higher cut levels though, generally i'm good with cut level 1
>>3004761
>>3004420To truly use all parts of the animal you could patch the holes with cut up leather from another glove's palm
>>3004420I use the cheap, bulky canvas leather type gloves for anything that doesn't require quite a bit of dexterity (and, they beat the hell out of all the expensive gloves on basically anything "toughness" on reviews)I use generic maxiflex or mechanix style gloves if dexterity is mostly going to be needed (or just take off my bulky glove for very occasional dexterity)I have never seen a review for a glove that does both really well
>>3004853>FThank you anon. Much appreciated.>>3004933True, but at that point it's like the gloves of theseus. And once again diminishing returns for the work involved. I can stitch a blown out seam in a quick minute when they pop up, any more involved than that and they are done for and better grab a new pair...>>3004757>>3004877>>3004950I've never really used gloves for much other than sharp pokey stuff or hot work, so the leather gloves are ideal for me. I've tried some mechanics type gloves before but they got burned up real quick with grinding/welding sparks. If a job is real messy like mixing paint, bedliner, or messing with fiberglass resin I will throw on some of those 9mil nitrile gloves from harbor freight.
Cheapest nitrile coated gloves you can find for 90% of jobs, buy the 10 pack for $10. Good dexterity, don't get torn by rough surfaces, when they wear out you only paid $1 a pair. It works well for stonework. All the heavy duty fabric gloves kept getting torn up in a few weeks.
>>3005377This man works. Also have a rag on hand for drying your hands between glove swaps. Nitrile gloves are a bitch to swap after you've built up sweat.
