Do you suffer with HAVS/white finger?

This is another good reason for one handing the 020, it haves your exposure

 

And if you alternate which had you use it with (as I do) your really reducing the risk

I found long reach hedge cutters to be the worst offenders for it and I use gel gloves for this work.

What kind of gloves do other people wear for chainsaw use?

[skyhuck]

I was told that the gel gloves don't help as you just tend to grip tighter.

 

I think the fact that gloves keep your hands warm (improving circulation) does help.

whats the operation for HAVS? I know carpel they cut the nerve. Also what is compartment syndrome and triggering

[ad15]

no operation for havs,, but 3 ops for the others,, compartment syndrome is the posh term for "arm pump" and triggering there isnt an abbreviation but my fingers are robotic,, does that make sense?

Suffer a bit in the winter with my hands seizing, Im surprised no ones mentioned tinnitus think thats how ya spell an get that regularly, big time gets on me nerves.

[John Hancock]

I’ve ticked the ‘don’t suffer’ box because we try to adhere to HAV regulations (only in the last 12 months though).

 

I do get very numb fingers when I’m out with the camera in the winter, I’ll put this down to poor circulation for now though.
