Default Good gloves

The message et
from "Dave Liquorice" contains these words:

They are the standard you see used on building sites round here that
enforce H&S. One pair with me survived cutting out a large hole in a
brick wall for a bigger window and all the associated re-building so
certainly not a too big expense.


I might have to give 'em a go. Handling sandstone and limestone lumps
non-stop for a few hours is quite hard on gloves.


I use them for 'our' rigging work too - much better than the leather
ones.


I use a cheap pair of gardening gloves but in the wet you do end up
with damp hands. I can see these dipped things been better at being
water proof and easier to clean the **** (literally) off.


I have been using the Ultimate Riggers gloves for some years now. I find
they perform much better with gritstone than the cheap gloves which have
been known to wear out almost instantly. Like all leather gloves they go
hard when they dry out after getting wet so I try to avoid getting the
newer pairs wet.
