When you think about how chaps work, they have enough kevlar fiber in them to jam the sprocket. Will the fingers of a glove hold enough of that to jam a sprocket and still be flexible functional gloves?

sorry about your fingers dude. BTDT, except a table saw took a good bite instead of a chainsaw. Tip of one finger is still numb where it cut a nerve.

I think mechanics wear, matco and snap on all make Kevlar reinforced gloves. I had a pair and I really liked them. They were lightly insulated and had hard protection on the top nuckles and extra on the others. After seeing your pictures the cost is no longer a reason to keep me from buying another pair now.

The Stihl gloves I was just lookin at have the fibers in them to jam the sprocket, but not near as much as the chaps I don't think

 

[Deets066]

I was lucky, it could have been much worse. My glove does look bad, a lot of that was from pulling back out of the saw.
When I pulled my hand away the glove came off and stuck in the clutch cover

i got a pair of chaps jammed up in a 460/28" bar about 15yrs. ago. it was my first time using skip chain. that saw earned a whole lot of respect in just a matter of seconds.

I never wore chaps before, but it seems like a good time to start

i bought a kit from husqvarna that had some glove in it and I think they would help if it came down to it, and one day it probably will. I just cut a few cords of fire wood and occasionally drop a tree for someone, but I almost always wear chaps, gloves, and head/face protection. Watched a bunch of videos on youtube of chainsaw mishaps and went out and bought some chainsaw boots as well. you really can't be too careful with a chainsaw in my opinion

 

[Deets066]

Thanks man,
Yeah just put em on my tab haha. Which has got to be gettin pretty big lol

 

[big t double]

Not yet...cases ain't in yet . I don't have a source for replacement left pinky fingers...but I can source those gloves!!! Freaks me out to see that sh*t!!!

 

[Jeepsnchainsaws]

I believe so or I would not have bought them. But I don't think they offer any great protection from a chain.

Is there any protection against chain ?
But another thought can you weld with your chainsaw HMMMM???

I'm not trying to be a smart ass here but it looks to me like the gloves are what got caught in the chain and dragged his fingers in.
In most of the machine shops I worked in you did not want to be caught wearing gloves on a drill press cus sooner or later a glove would catch on a spinning drill or a part would catch and spin and catch a glove and this all ends in a bloody mess.
I think he would have better off without gloves, I never use them until gets cold, I dunno maybe chain mail would work.

catch on catch on a drill on the catch and start

Yes, agreed completely. Just being funny about the saw welding. I don't wear gloves either because I think they are dangerous due to less control. I own a fab and machine company and we are always discussing when too and not too wear gloves.

Which chainsaw gloves you guys using these days? The search I did all came up older threads.
It took this for me to finally get a decent pair.
