Yea, and I have the cuts and splinters to prove it. best method I have found for removing pinesap is to use rubbing alcohol. Not only does it get rid of the sap, you get to feel the burn as it cleans out the cuts.

My son's wouldn't wear gloves ether ..I just figured they where a combination of stupid and too lazy to walk down to my toolbox and get a pair. My hands are my living..just like my eyes..I protect them religiously.
Butter actually works good to remove pitch too (don't get to feel the burn though
) then just wash butter off with dish soap.
Well my son is definitely not stupid or lazy, his hands sweat a lot in gloves and he just doesn't like wearing them.
Same here, work mostly barehanded in good weather, gloves in bad.

Why just one glove?
I wear just one glove because the weather gueeser says it's gonna snow, but on the other hand it might be sunny.
I looked those up ..they seem like a lot of glove for the money.

They are great gloves. They don't get wet from the snow either. They are the best gloves I have found.

No. Gave up on gloves unless it's very cold. Work hard, and your hands will toughen up.
The key is to not let the wood slip in your hands. When you toss it, let it go, don't let it slide out of your hand.

I was given a pair of something similar to these a few years ago when the company was promoting them. I have probably handled 60 cords with them along with other jobs and they have not worn out yet.

When the finger tips wear out on the leather gloves, I cut the fingers off a different pair and silicone them in place.. Save all the 'donor' gloves for spare parts..

Try the same glove only with the cotton cuff as opposed to the gauntlet type pictured. Keeps the chips out of the glove and they stay on better.
