You can fix about anything with the right toys!!!

[aametalmaster]

All you need is a bandsaw, bender, welder and metal lathe and some scrap steel and you can fix about anything. My fav snow shovel broke the handle and i didn't want to drive across town to get another one. I would rather spend a little time in the shop than shoveling snow ...Bob

The right one is going to last forever , i usally just wear the left one unless i am welding something real hot i am right handed also...Bob

When you're welding something really hot, can you feel the glove shrink up on your fingers?? usually accompanied by the smell of burning leather...

you don't wear a small do you? i'm left handed and i burn thru the right glove all the time. i tell my friend at praxair to find me someone who wears out the lefts and we'll swap extra gloves.
when i run out of new gloves, i start wearing a left on the right hand (takes just a little while to get it to conform to my hand), or i cut fingers off other gloves and slip them over the burned ones. gets me thru a few more days!

YES and its amazing how long it takes your finger to feel the same effect, then your shaking the glove like **** trying to get it off - lol

Nope xtra large. My buddy was left handed and when we got new gloves at work i would take the left and he took the right one. Saved the boss a few bucks...Bob

actually I think they might be a small. I like the tight fit and dexterity i can get from doing so. Mind you if they were large gloves, theyve shrunk so much form the heat that m sure they are smalls by now!

I think that they are small... thinking about a swap?

i thought the welding gloves were designed to withstand welding

Nope. They usualy give you about 2 weeks (depending on what you do with them) protection from surious injuries and then it's time for a new pair. If you wish to find out just what they do for you then take them off for a minute or two while welding.
