Heavy duty gloves

[Vigen Tigen]

Every month I get through a pair of so-called heavy duty gloves moving timber around. It is financially and environmentally unsustainable. 

Main problem is holes in fingertips and whilst gaffer tape extends short-term life, even that eventually gives up. 

Would very much welcome advice on specific gloves to look at and even how to affect a better repair

Buy some timber tongs/ pulp hooks then they take the wear.

Get a peavy / cant hook / log roller .

The woodchuck hookeroons that Rob Dyer used to sell are good, don't know if still available elsewhere now? Or Clarks have decent log picks.

Many thanks for the tips about log tongs/cant hook etc which I do have but will certainly take on board the suggestions to use them more. Still would really appreciate opinions on decent gloves?

Atm using TORNADO CONTOUR AVENGER BREATHABLE PRECISION WORK GLOVES  from ebay.

 

Abrasion restant lvl 4 means they don't wear as instantly as some others

Have you tried the Solidur DEBARDAGE Barbed Wire Gloves? They might be too thick??

We had a glove thread recently. I stick with Showa 310, they look like other builders glove but they're not - much harder wearing.

 

There were a few others that people recommended, but I can't remember them just at the moment. Try searching Showa on here.
