The ultimate cowhide riggers are worth the extra IME: http://www.screwfix.com/search.do?_d...timate+cowhide Of the grippers, the yellow latex lattice over kitted material are good for plasterboard etc, but not that comfortable I find. These make quite a good general glove with extra grip: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/74540/...uilders-Gloves They are quite snug on me (large hands as well), but ok for a reasonable duration. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Thanks John, they look better. At least they're not too expensive if too small. If they are too small, send them back. The Distance Selling Regulations mean you can send anything back, for any (or no) reason as long as it's within 7 days. (There are other caveats). You wouldn't need that with SF, they will accept anything back no question. If you call at a depot they will take the goods out of the warehouse so you can look at them. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Like John I think the Ultimate riggers gloves are a good buy. I have smallish hands but I think there should be sufficent room for much bigger hands than mine. |

I'll pop up tomorrow a.m., when the I won't be in the way of professional customers. My experience is that the branch isn't too keen on unpacking things: I needed to look at a combination square, just to see if it was matt or reflective and was allowed to because it could stay in its bag. If the gloves are too small and I can't try them on, I can take them back anyway. -- Peter. The head of a pin will hold more angels if it's been flattened with an angel-grinder. |

Oh. Not been my experience at all. Tried on a pair of safety boots, they un boxed a hop up with tray https://www.screwfix.com/prods/54537...tep-Work-Horse (bloody brilliant bit of kit) and I've seen them unpack taps & rad valves for customers. Guess it depends on the depot, my local is extreemly helpful. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Guess it depends on the depot, my local is extreemly helpful. And also how many waiting. Well, got the gloves and just tried them on. Snug fit, perhaps will loosen with use. They're Size 10, so I probably need 12s, same as me feet! -- Peter. The head of a pin will hold more angels if it's been flattened with an angel-grinder. |

Of the tall persuasion obviously. I'm 6' and find it perfect. and I've seen them unpack taps & rad valves for customers. Guess it depends on the depot, my local is extreemly helpful. And also how many waiting. Suppose so, its never been that busy when I go in. More of a steady stream all day. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

You wouldn't need that with SF, they will accept anything back no question. IME, with low value stuff they don't bother. They just let you keep it ... My grandaughter worked there at the Yeovil offices, on the phones,a couple of years back and the policy then was that if the goods were valued at less than £10, keep them. Just not worth it to recover them, what with postage etc. Value may have increased by now. |
