Gloves for grinding

[GreenBlood]

Looking for gloves for grinding and general metalwork handling and protection. Welding gauntlets are too bulky, but I need something to protect my hands from cuts (and arms to some extent) and grinder debris. But also, with decent feel and idealy touch screen compatibility....
Any suggestions?

Ansell. Don't remember the model number but will go and dig some out later if nobody else chips in..

Riggers normally given out.

TIG gloves much nicer though.

yep pigskin tig gloves would do you the very best , but you do get used to gloves even standard welding gloves become ok after a while ,, usually just as they are breaking in , they wear out.

I’m gonna get hold of some of the Granberg TIG gloves. Kevlar thread

those new ones look sweet granted mig so with the reinforcement at the thumb they will be too thick for tig , but Ill bet they are great for mig.. I like unlined gloves for tig .

do they have a uk retail outlet ?

Ansell make great gloves. I'd be getting some level 4 or 5 cut resistant gloves like these though

Back of the hands burn and just burn your skin

Grinding specific gloves though...

The cut 5 gloves above definitely aren’t grinding specific, as said the backs attract grindings, go hard, then burn, melt through and then burn the backs of your hands. Great for working with sharp steel, bandsaw etc

Ok gotcha. I wear mine down to the bone.

Aye TBF I don't do enough grinding to get sparks on the back of my hands

These last ages but aren’t cheap unless eurocarparts have an offer

if I’m doing a lot of grinding in a fixed position then I just use a left Mig gauntlet and a gecko on my right hand for better feel

as for forearms I just wear welding sleeves and always have a face mask with built in eye protector and crack on!

Search for 'lorry drivers leather work gloves'. I use these ones.

Nice supple leather, fully lined with a full leather back so can be used for welding as well. I tried similar ones from screwfix that were rubbish, the stitching ripped in a few weeks!

You need to find a decent trade and public shop. Any big town will have them, anywhere which sells gas and tig supplies will also sell decent gloves. Just need to know your local suppliers...

Soudure fourniture industrial gants....

Etc...

Failing that , that jungle company, or anywhere on the net.

I got some Tegra gloves, found them very good for grinding.
