Chainsaw gloves

[pantelis]

Have you used any of these? If so what do ya think about em?

All of theese , they are the best in the market, expensive but good.

 

[LowVolt]

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

Well just leather

 

[pantelis]

Right. Get some training if this work is out of your field or hire a competent individual from within this trade. Then get some gloves.

Don't get me wrong I'm for Darwin. Things get expensive.

I JUST GET SOME TRAINING

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.

Yes you are corect even the most good and expensive chainsaw gloves dont have so much fibers like the pants or chaps , the reason is the flexibility, at least you have something more to protect you.

all I use is the brown cotton gloves,, they are something like 8 bucks a dozen

I'm with you, I use the white cottons from harbor freight. Not to be cheap but if a finger is coming off why just mangle it and let the doc take it off?

My high performance machine was a 1979 028 wood boss, not lookin for smart ass criticizim, just some decent chainsaw gloves

I've tried a bunch of different gloves and I think these are about the best I've had.

Kevlar in the top, very flexible like the mechanic type gloves, padded palms to help with vibration, and leather palms and fingers. They're very comfortable and you can still use your hands.

They don't hold up great for handling thick barked wood like the oak we have here so when I'm done cutting I swap out to some cheap leather gloves to load the truck.

Not a cheap date, about $30.00 but nice. I think the Stihl ones are similar but the pair I had didn't hold up as well as these.

Glad there was minimal damage to your hand.

Also glad the grumpy know it all is gone, thank you.

I'm using these SIP at the moment , I have used husqvarna, oregon , arbortec , all are the same leather; goat skin, all have fibers only on the back of the left hand where the SIP ones have it in both gloves. I'm naturally left handed but use a chainsaw with both, primarily right handed but occasionally left-handed. so on that count the SIP win.
All the rest give the same amount of wear within a couple of weeks the fingers wear through. I have some well used pairs in the shed and will make some pictures later.

How did you cut your left hand?

If you look at the injury stats from chainsaws the left hand more commonly injured than the right.

From memory chance of injury is (last I looked a few years ago):
1. (left) leg
2. Head/face
3. Left hand/arm

What is the brand? I can't make it out on this computer. I usually wear goatskin gloves, but should probably upgrade also. Would like more comments on the gloves before spending $$$ on the wrong ones.

Don't use gloves a lot but when I do rig lizard 2021 by HexArmor . They seem to hold up fairly well

 

[Paragon Builder]

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

Yup. I've got a pair somewhere. Can't find them and didn't want to spend the money on another pair. I'm getting some now though! Just not worth it...

 

[SAWMIKAZE]

Wear chaps..s**t happens.

That makes me think my finger ain't worth whining about! Yeah, I'll get some chaps too.

I have the Stihl & like them for their flexibility & grip & cushioning over the back of the hands, somewhat like a hockey glove. The palms do wear out quickly though. Youngstown is another glove which has Kevlar in them. I have a pair, but I haven't broken them in yet, so I can't comment on their comfort. They feel like they have a more substantial layer of protection than my others. I have a local supplier (industrial) for them, but I think they are also carried by Bailey's. I'm glad the damage was not more severe!
