Lincoln Electric Traditional MIG/Stick Welding Gloves | 14" Lined Leather | Kevlar Stitching | K2979-ALL

I know these are supposed to be welding gloves, but I actually got them for another purpose: pulling out blackberry vines and thistles. You probably expected a traditional review--the gloves are well made of nice leather, and protect past the wrist--but I'm here to tell you also that these gloves are apparently blessed by the gods and imbued with supernatural powers. You see, I have blackberry vines and thistles in my backyard, and these weeds are like the Spartan 300 of weeds. They've got thorns that penetrate ordinary garden gloves, and they have defied me for weeks by waving their leaves at me, poking me with thorns, and generally sounding like King Leonidas every time the wind blows. In fact, it's little known that one of the tasks Hercules failed at was pulling the blackberry vines and thistles out of my backyard. Look it up. So, I ordered these gloves, partly because the flames on them looked cool and partly because I read that welding gloves work pretty well on thorny adversaries. Let me tell you--as soon as I put these gloves on, I felt capable of taking on those weeds. I had expected to take a couple of hours just to plow through one section of thorny vines and thistles. I pulled those suckers out in 15 minutes. Oh, the vines tried to fight back, with their little pricks (heh heh) from their thorns and their reflexive attempts to penetrate my skin. These gloves were tougher though, and thanks to the longer protection, I slaughtered those weeds and made a pile of their dead green bodies. I'm pretty sure my maniacal laughter disturbed the neighbors, but I digress. In any case, these holy gloves did the job and I finished a section way, way quicker than I thought it would take. Though the gloves are a little big on me they would probably fit someone with "large" hands as opposed to my "medium" hands. There is some insulation/cushioning on the inside, but only from the palms to the fingers. I haven't been able find the inscription granting me the power of Greek or Roman gods, but I'm fairly certain, based on my weed experience, that there must be such an inscription with these gloves. I probably will have to take a welding class, just to be able to use these gloves for their intended use, but if you have the same challenge I did--thorny weeds defying your gardening authority--they will work great and are far better than normal gardening gloves.

Only going to buy these gloves for welding from now on not much more money than the other gloves that were also brand name glove company but these ones are made very very well like they should be gloves do not last forever, but it's good to get a good length of life for the money you pay for good pair and especially protecting your hand from Burns I have many

Son bastante cómodos aunque tenga las manos grandes, se ajustan bien y son muy resistentes al manejo de los materiales, no se rompen fácilmente. Percibo que el calor se transmite rápidamente, por lo que hay que tener cuidado en no quemarse si se usan continuamente, hay que parar un tiempo antes de volver a soldar..

The gloves are very good. Everything is as I expected, I’m a fan of the colour and design on the gloves and they fit nicely. One thing I would say is don’t get too close to your mig torch nozzle as the gloves start to smoke and the heat starts to get to your knuckles, but if you do everything that you’re supposed to the gloves will be just fine.

Los guantes son de muy buena calidad se sienten muy suaves y flexibles son muy comodos cubren el antebrazo al ser de unica talla quedan mejor para manos grandes.
