Recommended Posts

hello i'am after some advice on a decent pair of gloves as i'am left handed and when splitting logs a tend to throw the split logs with my left hand and the norm rubber coated gloves only last a matter of 2 hrs and the left glove is worn through etc

 

I've been thinking of a pair of leather gloves but cant make my mind up if i,am wasting my money buying the wrong type of glove not fit for purpose etc as its the thumb and first two fingers that are worn away in no time at all with throwing the split logs with my left hand >> its as if i'am squeezing/gripping the log to tight when i throw and at that point is whats buggering the glove up.

 

so i'am ending up with a pile of right handed gloves lol and tried using them on my left hand but that's just too uncomfortable and cant pick the logs up propper to throw

Asked a similar question recently http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/73136-gloves-log-handling-processing.html

 

Actually using some very thin builders type ones from Toolstation that last a fair few days. They are very thin but seem to offer enough protection to avoid endless splinters and cuts. Yet to try the various suggestions in the thread.

We have been using showa assemblygrip gloves this year, even when climbing they do not wear through after half an hour. I have done a full day rigging on one pair and used them loads afterwards and still havent seen them wear out. Your welcome to a couple of pairs to try them out

Agree with this. The Showa gloves are more expensive but they do last considerably longer.
