History Who uses them?

Besides welding, do you use them?

 

Depends on how much I've had out of that square bottle in the upper left corner....at some point I get ten foot tall and bullet proof, dont need no stinking gloves.

 

All I do is TIG welding, so if it is something that wont take long, no gloves. But when I have a lot to do, I use my thin leather Tig gloves. Always wear them when doing aluminum.

 

As a professional welder I use gloves for pretty much everything.
The proper gloves for each particular job though, the ones pictured are NOT great welding gloves.
Proper welding gloves have a leather wrist gauntlet.
Using the proper PPE is the most important thing you can do before you pick up a tool.

 

what are those?

 

I often put on gloves when I'm dealing with garbage or scrap...or when I'm welding or sand blasting.

 

I do it for Safety sure, but I try to keep the oil from Skin off the Metal ( Salt in Sweat).

 

Most of the time, yeah. Small cuts and burns slow me down and a lot of the stuff I work with is rusty, dirty, and jagged.

 

I've made it this far with 10 fingers, I'd like to keep it that way.

 

Several people mentioned Tig welding, another type that works good is a golf glove for light weight stuff, but they are not going to hold up long with anything needing a lot of heat or high amperage, definitely not for stick or MIG.
I buy those cheapie blue ones from Harbor Freight for nasty stuff, like carburetor cleaner, paint etc. and for when I dont want my hands to contaminate what I'm working on. Good Luck

 

I wear gloves all of the time.

 

I guess my attitude toward gloves comes from being a machinist for many years.
You just don't do it! Please no cards or letters.
Now welding and sheetmetal handling that's different.
What gets me is this deal with the "newer generation" of "technicians" that have to wear gloves for everything, how the hell can you feel anything like starting nuts and bolts, etc.
Now you guys that claim the missus appreciates the soft handed man, I found a hand cream at Lowes called O'Keeffe's Working Hands, good stuff.

 

Yes, but leather. It's easier to tell when your hand's on fire by the smell.

 

I think the guy that tells you to turn your head and cough wears them but I usually don't look.

 

I've always liked the brown cotton gloves but they are hard to find. Most are 50/50 cotton polyester and go up in flames in a heartbeat. I finally found some 100% cotton and bought a case of them. I wear Tillman tig gloves for light welding and cutting with Tillman cotton sleeves. The cotton sleeves are cooler and cheaper than leather. They can be worn over a jacket or coat if it's cold. The cuff can be pulled over welding glove cuffs. The gloves are $12 and the sleeves $5/pair.

 

had her fixed,, I don't need them

 

I'm often working with machines that can potentially cut my entire hand off. Often times gloves are more dangerous than no gloves, if they could become snagged and drag your hand into the machine. But if I'm handling sheet metal or hand tools I will wear gloves.

When I'm wrenching or wenching I like latex so's I can "feel what's I'm doin' ".....

That's a loaded statement

 

Safety rules demand wearing gloves these days. Personal Protective Equipment is the big push as the lobby for the companies that sell them has pushed OSHA for it.

 

Don't forget your FRC's or HRC's.

 

I hate gloves
unless it for chemicals or welding
I would rather have a small cut than a hand of finger getting caught up in power tools/equipment
plus they get in the way with all the hand gauging I do during sheetmetal work

 

I always use PPE on my eyes and ears, use gloves every now and again but long sleeves when welding.

 

I have a few pairs, but I always forget until I'm all dirty or greasy, then it's too late. Gloves are like new still though.

 

Sometimes.

 

If your gonna' wear those you'll also need a pair of these...................

 

I'm a diehard hearing protection guy. It's proven to work. My hearing is above average.
I wear prescription lenses so I have to use a face mask when necessary.
I'm not a big glove guy. Only when welding really.
My hands are like leather/sandpaper so I prefer to only wear rubber gloves for fluids I don't feel like absorbing.

The appearance is not really from working on cars. My hands looked like this all my life. Took a lot of heat as a kid in school.

I like to mess with ppl in the shop. I can pick up stuff when it's still pretty hot. So I'll pick up a nut or something shortly after heating it with the torch then I'll say hey check this out and throw it to someone. They catch it thinking it's cool then immediately drop it. Nothing dangerous. Just to mess with people.

I wear gloves most of the time except for short tacks, my skin is old, not all that durable and I abhor pain My wife (she is a metal sculptor) makes sure she has all the protective gear on (including the lovely green sleeves, but.... she probably welds more than I do!!

 

I do, but I work in an industry that requires wearing gloves- a lot. So I'm used to it by now.
I also only am able to squeeze in an hour here and 20 minutes there in the shop and back to work so it's easier for me to clean up and not have grubby stains. Not that there's anything wrong with that..
Leather, welding, vinyl, cotton- I've got a few around

 

I'm confused. What does this have to do with traditional Hot Rods?
