If you're a welder, then you know the importance of having a good pair of welding gloves. Not only do they protect your hands from the extreme heat and sparks, but they also help to improve your grip on the welding torch. When choosing TIG welding gloves, there are several factors you need to consider. In this blog post, we will discuss each of these factors to help you choose the perfect pair of TIG welding gloves for your needs! Read on to learn more, and shop all of the welding accessories from Noel's Inc.!
Glove Thickness
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing TIG welding gloves is the thickness of the glove. You need to make sure that the gloves you choose are thick enough to protect your hands from the heat, but not so thick that they impede your dexterity. One of the best ways to do this is by choosing a glove with a Kevlar stitching, such as Black Stallion’s 25K Premium Kidskin Glove. Kevlar provides the heat protection you need while still being thin enough to allow for precise movements.
Coverage
Protecting your hands from heat is one thing, but you also need to protect your arms from the UV radiation coming from your welding arc. That’s why you should look for TIG welding gloves with extended cuffs, such as Tillman's 24 C TIG Gloves. These bad boys offer a four-inch cuff for extra forearm protection. If you need protection for your entire arm, Noel’s Inc. carries a variety of sleeves, jackets, and other welding accessories that can do the trick.
Touch Sensitivity
Another important factor to consider is touch sensitivity. You need to be able to feel what you're doing when you're welding, so you don't want gloves that are too thick. Look for gloves that give you the dexterity you need to weld without sacrificing protection, like Tillman’s Lightweight Pearl Deerskin TIG Gloves. Unlined for maximum feel and lock-stitched with Kevlar thread for added strength, these gloves are fantastic for light to medium handling.
Wet-Dry VacuuHeat Sensitivity
As with all welding accessories, heat sensitivity is one of the most important things to consider when choosing a pair of TIG welding gloves. Some materials can withstand higher temperatures than others, so you'll need to choose gloves made from a heat-resistant material that's suitable for your particular applications. Black Stallion’s 24D Premium Deerskin TIG Gloves are equipped with the manufacturer’s exclusive DragPatch® technology for extra insulation and abrasion resistance, making them a great choice for jobs where high-heat protection is critical.
