Gloves ?

[Pipedream]

As I sit here on a Friday night going through the daily ritual of removing plasters / dressings from this weeks wounds, I wondered if anyone has found a glove that protects from knocks, grazes and cuts but still lets you work. I have tried the fingerless gloves which are okay to an extent, but I still manage to find ways of injuring myself.

I think there have been some previous threads about this, but as I am in the process of treating my injuries with some Chilean red pain killer, I thought I would be lazy and ask my fellow forum dwellers.

ansell anti cut gloves, have kevlar in them to prevent injury but are still very flexible. After wearing them for several years, i cant work without them. I can wire an immersion whilst wearing them

I got these on the recomendation from Dancin Plumba and they are really good. I use the medium sized ones as they "cling" better to the contours of your hands and allow very intricate work to be done:

I wear traffi gloves, work provide them. Takes a while to get used to wearing gloves but these ones aren't too bad. Although I do have to remove them occasionally for very fiddly things!

I want some that come up to my elbows because I am fed up with working on dirty oil boilers on a Friday and going out with dirty arms.

I love the yellow gripper gloves as my hands are not getting that sweaty.
And these do not restrict the movement so much.
I do not like very much if a clove is too tight.
Some refer to them as criss cross gloves. At the end it is pretty individual and you have to get used to them at first once that is the case you will them not hindering you at all.

Just you have to watch if you are working with power tools a lot.
Would be safer to use a leather glove instead. As these tend not to get caught as easy as a cloth based glove.

There is another danger in that as well. Once you are used to gloves you may find yourself in a situation to grab something sharp and find out that you forgot you had no gloves on this time.

Heat resistant and soot+oil proof. By now I found them either being soot proof but not oil resistant or the other way. Result is the same.

I hate wearing gloves and I'm famous for not wearing them, only wear thick rubber gloves when my hands are anywhere near a jobbie.

I use welding gloves when I am working on the heat exchanger as no matter how many times you ask them to not use the boiler for a few hours before they always use the HW on combis so they are still red hot but I cant work with them on as they are too thick but they do make a big difference.

I tried latex gloves working on the burners but they just shred to bits so useless so there is no point in wearing anything.

"Don't use the combi"

"Okay I won't touch it, I'll just be in the shower so shout if you need me" :banghead:
