Good morning Chris!!😀😀 The best gloves for handling firewood are calluses. Back when I did firewood and cut with a saw full time unless it was cold weather I always worked bear handed and half gloves most of the winter. Take care my friend!!😀💚 Logger Al
Al I was the same way. I hated cutting and handling firewood with gloves. Now that I am older my skin is like tissue paper and a small bump on my hand will now bleed. It’s crazy how our bodies change
Chris...Great content! Even worse than firewood is asphalt shingle removal and re-roofing. I go through a pair of Thomasville leather palm and finger gloves on a single roof job. When my fingertips wear out I cut patches of Carhartt dungaree material, rough up the leather on the finger tips with my Dremel wire wheel, and epoxy the patch in place. I can get 3-4 roofs out of a pair using this fix! My big problem is most glove manufacturers don't make gloves that fit my hands...2-3XL. I got a pair of the Kinco insulated gloves at your suggestion several years ago. They not only insulate against cold but are the best anti-vibration gloves I've ever worn and wear like iron. The Forester brand of anti-vibe gloves aren't too bad for holding up but their 2XL gloves are for Chinese men 2XL hands. I really need a 3XL which they don't make.
Good day all. Regarding gloves, I prefer the light mechanic type gloves, however I do still use leather gloves as well. All of my leather gloves get the same treatment to prolong their longevity and that is done by simply oiling them with any oil including bar oil to used motor oil. The oiled gloves not only last so much longer but are also more supple. The drawbacks are oily hands if you go overboard with the oil treatment and it also takes away from the leather's insulating properties , a definate negative in cold climates. Thanks for the many videos Chris.
I've used the same style of gloves you have. Kincos heavy duty ones in the winter time. Full leather ones and the mechanic style gloves. I agree with the cuff style to keep out the chips.
I am not one to wear gloves but I have my reasons. But with that said there are times I have no choice like when there is about 3 feet of snow and 20 below zero. Like most products everything is great till it no longer does what it should be doing. Truth is Chris you are right they always wear out at the finger tips and they never do anything to fix that problem. There is a reason for that. The sooner they wear out the sooner you must buy a new pair of gloves. The best pair of gloves I ever owned was a pair I bought from L.L Beans store in Maine.
I bought some Uline super gripton gloves a couple months ago. Real tough coating on them. They might be a little warm in the summertime, but for $11 a pair its quality merch. It's a good pair for splitting wood as well.
I really like a leather glove the best. They never last very long. I started wearing some gloves with rubber palm. They last about like the leathers but at 14 bucks for 12 pair so lot cheaper. In winter I almost need mittens on. So if can that what I wear. Keep up the good work.
Have you heard about the carnivore diet? I am on that. (primarily) NO ARTHRITIS symptoms, I do not get "stiff and sore" anymore......I also take turmeric daily. I have always ate meat but now that is about all I eat, plus eggs and cheese. (and lot's of butter) Have a great day!!!!!
@@valeriofrego5817 I have a "sock puppet" channel......that is I created a channel so I can comment on other people's channels under their videos, but I have no videos. So in a manner of speaking I am sort of a "fraud". Not unlike a lot of politicians!!!!!! Have A NICE DAY!!!!! Last I checked I do have 69 subscribers!!??? Why? Don't know, I guess they want to see what I might say next time.......
@@brandong6242 It is somewhat amazing, yes. I am 63 I need all the advantages I can get..............not LOL. I sunburn less now too.....anyway who knew getting off the sugar and eating more of what I like anyway could help so much????
I've grown to dislike wearing gloves when running a chainsaw. I wear them doing different firewood work but rather have bare hands when using a chainsaw
I have found that I try to get the most use for the money. I seem to go to the Hardy gloves from Harbor Freight because of the cost of the cost for the leather cloves. I do find that the cheaper nylon with the coated palms and fingers from the box stores are as good to me as any. I've tried about all gloves and will get any that are available when I need a pair.
Iv been wanting to try the super cheap cotton gloves that are really popular with west coast timber fallers. I’m still using worn out atlas gloves I saved from the mill from 2-4 years ago lol I used to wear white ox gloves which are awesome but wear out fast and then I’d just Flip the left or throw an atlas glove under it, the generic white ox seem to last longer
The ONLY gloves ive seen with doubled up leather are barbwire fencing gloves ive had the one pair for just over a year, i dont use them every day but often
Nice overview of gloves for firewood. What works best for me are the Wells Lamont leather work gloves from costco. The finger tips will eventually wear out though. When the finger tips wear through, I wrap them in duct tape. That gives me about 2 to 3 times the life out of them.
Have you tried the Husqvarna basic gloves they are $6.00 and they are very good for handling wood especial wet wood. And they do wear out like any glove. I think they are a good value over all.
Hi Chris: For handling firewood, I found the Showa Atlas latex palm gloves hold up the best. For cutting I found Ironclad impact gloves are inexpensive and hold up well. I have a pair of Husqvarna Technical gloves that I’m getting ready to try. I definitely like the Velcro closures on my saw gloves to keep saw dust out. For winter- you can’t beat the Kinco’s. Last year, I waxed the Kinco’s gloves with beeswax and then used a heat gun to melt to let the wax soak in. I found they were more waterproof and they held up to wear much better- almost like a tin cloth glove.
Nice video Chris. I usually buy cheap, any brand, driver gloves for summer. Heavier, sheepskin lined for snowblower operation. I’ve found that my old age skin has become sliver magnetic. GNI
Like you said Chris none of the gloves last very long but try the Harbor Freight HARDY A5 Cut Resistant Work Gloves. They hold up pretty well and very inexpensive. Much better than the nitrile dipped ones.
Hardy goatskin gloves both the riding work glove and the mesh back, I am in the right side of mind and little Jim is a righty so the right left gloves tend to balance themselves out for wearing out😉. Safety glasses I have come to favor the ones with built in cheaters 😁available in clear, amber and dark.
I have problems with the tips getting holes and getting slivers in the palm. Doing yardwork kills my gloves off my gloves also. In pa. We have a weed with thorns like rose thorns but about 1"long. You can pull them up very easily but you have to use a shovel, then pick them up by the roots. I'm just going to get chainmail. 😊
I have not paid for gloves in years. Between my mother-in-law and the wife, they load up and give them to me for Christmas. I don't remember what they are, but i know they get them from Costco 😉👍
In effetti se ci pensiamo solo per quanto riguarda il lavoro ci sono molti tipi di guanti che cambiano da un modello all altro da una marca all altra ad esempio per i guanti anti taglio ( quelli per motosega ) alcune marche hanno la protezione solo sulla mano sinistra , quella che non rimane sull acceleratore, questo video è interessante non solo per quello che riguarda i guanti, io ad esempio soffermandomi a ragionare ho avuto modo di fare considerazioni legate alla sicurezza ed alla comodità dell attrezzatura da lavoro
I have tried them all too and can’t find “the one” for stacking, doesn’t exist. My saw gloves have no finger tips left but the leather palm is fully intact and grip the handle very nicely. Velcro wrists keeps chips out. I wish I knew the brand but that’s worn off too. Sold at Ace Hardware and are bright orange and black. Good topic, thanks.
Good morning. Are those dobbers sticking off the left side of your handle for measuring? I’m new to your channel. Thanks for your videos. Really enjoyable to watch.
Definitely need cuffs i hate all that crap getting in the gloves! I wish i wore out the lefts but my rights always go out right away too! I have a mountain of left handers
