I know what you mean, I work in an enclosed building where there is a CAT 936 front end loader running WFO most of the day. It only stops for break time. A couple of weeks ago the turbo came apart and the engine ate most of the parts. The operator had to keep running it till the mechanics could get the backup machine usable. It was like a locomotive blowing smoke back and forth across the vat room.

Oops I mistyped, forgot an "e". The dictionary writes cancerogenous for modern English which is derived from the word cancrogenous which is a Greek-Latin word. Sorry my bad!
By the way Sunday morning the glove saved a couple of digits from an angry meat bandsaw.

Dude your mad using that glove.

i used to be a butcher and i've seen first hand what wearing one of those and coming in contact with a bandsaw does. It will take around 18 months to get your hand back to almost normal.

while i was doing my apprentiship they actually brang in law that says your not allowed to wear the glove whilst the bandsaw is in use.

trust me, that wont stop SH!T if it catches.

Yeah, that glove would be great for the Dremel and manual tools; but I'd hate to get caught up with much of anything moving under external power at high speed.

If you need gloves, you are doing something wrong.

x2--

The only reason I'd see to wear these gloves is if I was cutting fish or bagels or something all day with a knife.

I've been using woodworking hand tools for 20+ years-- the only time I've cut myself is when I was using the tool incorrectly. That hasn't happened in a LONG time.

As many others said-- NEVER wear gloves when operating machinery/power tools! The help to give no grip/control & when the cutter catches the glove, it takes you with it.

I would like to have one of those for hand tools, but you couldn't pay me to wear it near actual power tools. You get that thing caught in a drill press, its gonna rip your hand off.

I run machines, cut, grind, hammer all day long. The only gloves I use are solvent tank gloves and welding gloves. It's silly to not have the control over your tool due to protecting from an errant tool caused by said protection. The old adage about a sharp knife being safer than a dull one because you don't have to force it comes to mind. Just be smart about the effect and you'll be okay. That glove looks quite Michael Jackson anyway. Safety glasses, now safety glasses are key!

I've seen first hand what happens when wearing a glove and not. Ya wear a glove and usually you can plan on ripping a limb off, versus not wearing a glove and it makes a nice cut that can go through the bone, but is at least repairable. Another thing to keep in mind is you guys out there that like your bling. I work with a pipe machine all day and have for over a decade. I have seen necklaces choke guys out; rings get smashed so bad that the bone crushes, etc. Keep your gloves/jewelry OFF when working with power tools, with the exception of your dremel like tools. Not much damage can be sustained by these type of tools.
