My Working Gloves Suck !

The reason for the handling of wire is that at every 20 ft the wire has to be placed into notches on metal posts with tension retained over a length of 750 ft. The notching and roll of the land precludes tensioning at the end of the run.

Can you show a picture of these posts? I guess I'm confused, but I've never heard of a fence that you didn't stretch from brace to brace.

I like these, more comfortable than the leather gloves I've had and seem to be more durable. I split and stacked wood in a pair two days in a row and no sign of wear yet. I usually wear size LG, but I think XL would be a better fit in these.

I am sold on the knit gloves with the "dipped" rubber front like in the link above. I've been wearing a pair for a few weeks now. Handling firewood, building a shed and just general duties. They are still holding up. For a couple bucks a pair I'll stick to these

Mine are usually treated with engine oil, gear oil, or trans fluid

I use these $5.99/pair gloves from Harbor Freight. They last quite a while, and are quite comfortable. I have a XXL hand, and these conform to them in an hour or so. The material back allows this I think. They are cotton lined, which is usually what gives up the ghost after a few months. Gloves are just all around good. And, for the price, I have usually 5-10 pair hanging in the shop.

Here's online photos of the posts ....... http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/1791837456_5/z275g_galvanized_steel_vineyard_stake.jpg and http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/1791837456_2/z275g_galvanized_steel_vineyard_stake.jpg .

The Z notch is cut into the post as seen in the second picture.

Now I understand. I’ve never seen those posts before. I assume the fence isn’t to keep animals in or out? It LOOKS like you might be able to stretch after everything is installed, but I know looks can be deceiving. Didn’t mean to derail the thread.

I have had pretty good luck and good durability with the Sears Craftsman Mechanic Gloves. I beat them up pretty good and they last as good as anything out there.

Not your mistake, simply how TBN works!
