Chid 6,377 Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Any body work in the engineering/ fabricating trade with a good recommendation for gloves that won't break the bank .. Can't be to thick as I need to handle small nuts and bolts but also need to stop so many splinters getting into my hands .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 White Ox are very well thought of. But, probably too thick and heavy for your purposes? Nitrile are like a second skin and are said to protect from used needles ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Yeah, I know the feeling. White Ox are widely said to be les couilles du chien. But, it's your wanting the delicate touch too. Bloody hard call. I, periodically, do an awful lot of screwing with dry lining screws? Fukking hate it, because I Always end up with an almost microscopic 'splinter' in the finger that holds them as I start the screwing. Nasty things. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil82 1,008 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 tig welders gloves might be the closest to what you want but to be honest, gloves that give good protection while retaining a decent level of grip on small parts have yet to be invented, as for metal splinters I found nail clippers the best for getting them out (used to do a plunge cut in brass on a capstan lathe, the swarf was nothing but splinters) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
