AV Gloves

[Big J]

Just a quick heads up that I finally thought that I would try some vibration damping gloves as I'm suffering a bit with what seems to be a combination of Hammer wrist and mild HAVS in my right wrist.

 

I thought that it wouldn't make much difference, but I can assure you that it's the best £15 I've ever spent. Just using some fairly cheap Tremor Low gloves from Arco and after an afternoon chain milling a huge Elm tree, I actually can't feel any issues with my wrist.

 

So get out and buy some AV gloves - the vibration from chainsaw milling is a serious concern, and one best not ignored.

I've been thinking about this - particularly for milling with the older saws like the 090 and 076 where I know the AV system isn't as good. Where did you get them from?

Just got them from Arco - I think that there should be one in your neck of the woods Alec. I was just amazed at the difference. Usually after chain milling I have a combination of pins and needles and ache for days after but I just can't feel it at all.

Rob D sent me some av gloves I normaly use them for milling I though the same big J didn't think they would make much difference but they have made the difference of not having white fingers at nite or the drive home where u can't really feel anything

Got to get some more of rob as I can't find

Yes I got a few just to try out - they have been excellent.

 

 

The only problems are:

 

 

• Only available in Large which is prob our medium as they fit me!
  
• They are super warm - so bit sweaty in summer. Bliss in winter though!
  

 

 

They will retail £15-00+vat (-10% arbtalk disc) and the good thing is they are designed to be washable!

 

 

 

 

100 pairs are on next order -but a 3 month wait until they get here

HI ROB you do need to worry re summer it not hot and vib gloves here mate :001_rolleyes:jon

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.
