Hybrid_From_Hell Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi all when I did my tig training / exams my lovely instructor said there are 4 things to always remember come what may for a better weld clean clean clean - better the metal is cleaned Better the weld shsrp tungsten if it isn’t stop it’s not a f blow lamp 😂 comfy is good uncomfy will show ( it does lol! and get the gloves you find the absolute best irrespective of costs wrong / poor / uncomfy gloves are like welding with a sock on your hand and he is spit on I have tried a vast range of gloves and costs weldporn were my fav but cost fortunes from USA and during lockdown often out of stock then I got desperate and bough a whole range of gloves from safety gloves.co.Uk including some very very VERY cheap ones and they are f superb cost is very low they fit superbly tight very soft leather and just a joy to use . I have used these for some months and then a while ago on reorder not available went then using other gloves I had and only then did I realise just how good these are tetgra 126a fab …try some …for any high amp mig may not be enough protection but at 220 amp TIG perfect absolutely no connection with company other than happy customer try a pair …and report back …and cheap as chips and last well 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Ranged Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I have several pairs, for short welds or light amps I use a pair of all leather "Mechanix" brand mechanic's gloves they have a real snug fit and surprisingly the leather hasn't hardened and shrunk from the heat.... if I'm over 100 amps i use a pair of Tig gloves I got through BOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Ranged Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Lol that explains why I got the last pair cheap..... I just went looking for a listing for my good gloves... no listing in the Mechanix site must have been a run out of a discountinued lol bugger I did notice they had a leather and carbon fabric "Carbon X1" that has heat resistant carbon fiber fabric it might be worth a go https://www.mechanix.com/us-en/heat-resistant-gloves/CXG-L1.html?dwvar_CXG-L1_color=black&cgid=heat-resistant-gloves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I use gloves from TPS welding supplies, which fit great, but I also use a pair of electrical arc flash gloves that are very similar to tig gloves and also supple and comfortable regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
