RichL Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 What gloves do you use for install work? Im after some which can be worn several times then binned when too dirty, for warmth and protection, and can still be used when fitting BNCs for example. A link to a suitable product on either Toolstation or Screwfix would be perfect. Thanks.

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rulland Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Imho there is yet to be designed gloves suitable for really dextrous work, that can keep you warm and yet still allow complete freedom of movement, you have the latex ones that keep dirt off, you have the 'thinsulate' type that keep you warm-but nowt really inbetween that I've seen. I tend to use fingerless thinsulate type, not ideal, but you prob know that anyway!, any other ideas peeps?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have a pair of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-performance-4-gloves/66790 On sites where gloves are mandatory I've found these to be the best balance between speed & keeping the site happy.

norman Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Some sites insist on full finger cover, so if buying for this reason best to check 1st Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzies Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Most of those sites will also accept removal of the gloves for certain tasks if the method statement mentions it, in our experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I did have some years ago which were provided by the site and were an acceptable compromise. I just cant find them.
