This and I always keep a couple pairs in my car just in case.

Very true. I use the latex coated thick polyester for stone work and anything abrasive, medical type latex for auto work, kinco pig skin insulated for winter. The mechanix type fall apart at the seams after minimal use but some of them have knuckle and back of hand protection so they're good for demo work. You cant go wrong with leather it lasts the longest.

Mine arent of any amazing quality or anything I just keep getting leather work gloves.

I still use quality gloves (mostly while welding) but I just found out about & rather like the cheap nitrile covered ones you can get from home depot for 10 bucks for 10 pairs. https://pic8.co/sh/sKDhk8.jpg

I keep three pairs. One for when it is wet outside. A good pair for when it's dry. A brand new pair, waiting.

When the good ones wear out, they become wet weather, Wet weather gets tossed. The news ones come out. Then I go buy another new pair to wait.

That's a good idea. My lowest pair of gloves I use to deal with my mouse and rat traps around my camper van. when I set them up and strike them, when I move my site.

Of course. I need at least another pair after the first pair is soaked from the melted snow.

You use work gloves?

[–] • 0 pt

Yep. If I have to hammer a nail or two I won't put a glove on the hand that places the nail but I'll wear a glove for my hand that holds the hammer.

I have 5 good pairs that are exactly the same. I have others too but I never use them.

It's slim pickens for good gloves. I just bought a pair two weeks ago and I was walking around Home Depot and saw a great pair today. pretty cheap too, so I just picked them up. I probably won't need them till next year sometime but it's good to have.

What does your neighbor think about that?

Why are you thinking about my neighbor

[–] • 0 pt

Well you said you sit on a porch with a missing finger on your glove. If I was your neighbor I'd wonder. Unless of course your porch is in the back and not the front.

depends on the work at hand.

For me, it's guns. I started with only one, now I have 4 and it looks like there 2 more on the way.

Just owning a pair would be nice. I keep finding odd gloves -- a right hand from one set, a left hand from another set, a glove with a hole through one of the fingers.

[–] • 0 pt

Yeah I have one that has a hole in the finger. That was one of my favorites too. The hole started because I was moving really heavy rocks.

Battery acid sucks. I was using the "wrong" pair when doing some work and it ate holes in one of my favorite "low-duty" pairs. I dont think they make them anymore. Oh well.

I don't do manual work -- except around the house, and I have a single pair of work gloves for when I need them -- but I do have an unhealthy obsession with motorcycle gloves. I have at least 10 pairs and I'm lucky to get through a season and only buy one new pair. Of course I have a favorite and depending on the weather will always prefer them over the others. Riding season is relatively short and the wear on a pair of glove is minimal so unless I've had a crash they don't wear out, so they will continue to accumulate.

I also have 3 helmets, but that's just common sense.
