find this very interesting, i researched impact and av gloves and it was supposed to be proven that these gloves make very little if any difference to the affects of vibrating machines. there was no proven benefit to using them.

 

just the fact that there is another layer inbetween my hands and the vibration means that my hands dont absorb 100% of the effect, I know when I spend all day turning theres a huge difference noticed after 10 minutes on bigger items, ive got a pair of the fingerless ones and they also protect me from the bark coming off too:thumbup1:

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because you can't prove there is a benefit does not mean that the benefit isn't there.

Yea. Agreed . Just coz you never saw something does not mean it did not happen .

If you consider that the AV bushes on an 088 are rubber, I think an extra layer of rubber cannot be a bad thing. In addition to which, I've done a huge amount of chainsaw milling, and it's just completely different with the AV gloves on.

Gloves marketed as 'anti-vibration', which aim to isolate the ... they are not particularly effective at reducing the frequency-weighted vibration ...
