Curious to see what you all have found in good work gloves when using hand tools. I seem to go through a lot of leather work gloves at $13 a piece.

Wells Lamont Latex coated knit gloves. Still give your fingers some "feel", yet not real high priced. Bought ten pair a year ago at a store when winter was over. 3.99 marked down to .99. You wonder how some large chains stay in business. They are a general purpose glove and have served me well.

Magid ROC BP169 Black Polyurethane Coated Polyester Knit Gloves Is what I like. I used to get jerrsy knit gloves for a very low, low price and would wear them out real fast and when they got wet the were worthless and cold! The rock even though they cost me a little over 12$ a dozen are worth it hardly ever wear out, I can pick up a dime with them on, and the keep their shape when wet and dry out fast! :thumbsup: Neither of the above are for welding! :)

I like the gloves that are at the local store but if I work much where I need gloves they are done within the week. And it never fails that the ring finger wears out first.

I have been using Ansell HYFLEX foam (11-800) for about 15 years. These are extremely form fitting to the point that you don't even know you are wearing them. I use them for construction, woodworking, painting and mechanical repairs. They seem to hold up pretty well for most tasks and you loose very little dexterity. They do not hold up very well in really ruff conditions. Ansell makes a lot of different gloves that might fit your needs better. I purchase mine from a local safety supply company for about $4 a pair in a package of 10 or 12 pair.

My Dewalt gloves, LuvEm! Not cheap but they are lasting twice as long as the El Cheapo others...

My favorites are Kinco 2014 Drivers gloves. Synthetic leather which wears well, doubled wear pads where you need them, sweat-wipe section, and they don't wear out quickly when working with wet firewood, like calfskin does.

If you have a Costco nearby, they have a 3 pack of leather gloves for 19.99. The brand escapes me at the moment and for the price they are very good. I do everything from cut firewood, landscaping, tractoring, changing out implements, and much more and haven't worn a hole in them yet.

I use to buy good leather gloves. But gave it up. I can loose gloves faster than I can buy them. :laughing:

I now have a young dog and she loves gloves. She steals them even faster than I loose them. She steals lots of other things and takes everything under the house. But not to worry, in a day or 2 she brings it all back. Only problem with gloves, once she has had them, they aren't usable. :laughing:

I don't really care the brand, as long as they are medium light weight leather, form fitting as to be tight tight to put on the first few times with no excess flappy crap hanging in excess at the end of my digits. As long as they meet this criteria - its all good.

There is nothing better then a pair of form fitting broke in gloves. I suppose the cowboys would call them roping gloves.

I expect to pay $8 to $11 a pair unless I can catch them on sale.
