Best gloves for cutting, splitting, stacking.

[066blaster]

Mine only seem to last 2 weeks, then my fingers are sticking out. And I have tried every kind. $10-30 and no difference

This has been addressed a few times recently, covering the rqmts of the different seasons. Search might speed it up some for you.

Pretty much a consensus re "atlas fit" latex-palm woven gloves. Grippy, wear almost like iron, and cost a couple of $ by the dozen, from Amazon. "Atlas thermal" are the winter variety. I take a couple of pair with me in winter. When one pair gets "dewy", I switch them out. The thermal ones go for about $3/ pair. Beat that. I've not yet worn out my first pair, after many months' firewooding.

To each his own... I have trouble with the Atlas gloves - something about them pinches my hands and my fingers ache after an hour or so. Great gloves, just a subjective thing. I love the Home Depot yellow ones with the black nitrile palms:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-Firm-Grip-Nitrile-Coated-Gloves-10-Pack-5510-16/203423243

These go on and off sale every few months. $10 for a 10-pack is pretty decent. I sweat a lot, gross but I yam what I yam. I soak a pair of gloves on a hot day in an hour or so. At this price I just throw on a fresh pair and I'm off again. Feels awesome putting on a fresh pair. They go right in the laundry and come out almost as good as new. I get about 20 washes out of them before the coating wears out, so I buy like one new pack a year to replace the worst of the oldest, and just keep cycling them through.

I think the Atlas Thermals would be better in the winter though. These yellow ones breathe great - good for warm weather, not so much for icy wind.

I just looked at some reviews on the atlas and they sound good. I'm use to a little more padding with my insulated leathers, but I will give a try. I'm thinking the leather gets soft when a little wet and tares

i like mechanics gloves although not when dealing with wet wood. i might give those atlas fit a try.

I never got around to ordering the Atlas, but I got these and they are amazing tough. I mean, basically a buck a pair! All winter I kinda sorta wore out one pair, on the secpnd pair now. That's doing every chore I need to do including firewood. I even started wearing them to do mechanic work.

I would take the atlas over the hd yellow and black nitrile gloves any day. The atlas gloves have way more grip and wear just as long. The dollar and a half difference in price is worth it me.

Another vote for the atlas. As far as the leather ones go I find the $5 suede cowhide/canvas backed ones last as long as the more pricey ones. For running the saws I like Wells-Lamont pig-skin non-insulated gloves.

The best gloves are callous brand. They cost $0

Best gloves?? Those are groves without holes.

Personally I hate any of the latex/rubber-palm type gloves, my palms and fingers sweat to the point they wrinkle.
I prefer a leather glove, whatever's cheapest ('cause they all wear-out at about the same rate)... and I buy 'em by the 6-pack.
I bought some in a 3-pack at Sam's Club a while back that had some sort of latex/rubber sewn onto the fingertips... those worked pretty good because they gave me the leather "breath-ability" and the "grip" of latex/rubber. They also lasted longer than bare leather because the latex/rubber fingertips had to wear through before the leather started wearing. I found using them for splitting/stacking and such until the latex/rubber fingertips wore through and then regulating them to running the saw and other lighter duties kept them in service a lot longer. They were a bit more expensive than I normally buy ($20 for the 3-pack), but they did last about twice as long because of the fingertips.

No holes is nice. Having both a left and a right is good as well. I know: picky, picky.
++on the atlas fit, though.

 

[dave_dj1]

I hope you guys are right, I just ordered a dozen pair from the big "A"

 

[cat-face timber]

IMHO I prefer
http://www.baileysonline.com/Clothi...rip-3894-Large-Rubber-Coated-Gloves-Dozen.axd
I have used the HF version (YELLOW), but the rubber comes off way to fast.
These gloves from Baileys work great, very tough.
Your hands do sweat though.
My grandson called the Sweaty hand gloves.
They stink after some use..
I just ignore the stink though.

I started using these, they seem to be holding up good

For any time but winter I use Dynema terminator gloves. Little pricey (8$ pair) but last 20 plus washes and awesome dexterity. Use them for all mechanic work and still can grab small 8-32 nuts. Much cooler than the yellow ones in fact in cooler/cold weather they feel cooler than bare hands for some reason. They are cut resistant. I could not cut them with a new blade in a utility knife pushing as hard as I could. Point of the knife could still stick you through the weave but it would prevent your hand from being filleted open.

Cold weather I found a pair of thinsulate synthetic leather wells Lamont gloves that wears well but retains much dexterity. Still wear my kid skin thinsulate glove for driving but they were to expensive/torn up quickly for work.
