These are ideal for TIG and not much else. I use these with Welding Tips and Tricks TIG Finger and life is good in the hood. I took a Specialized Welding class for upping my TIG game and one pair of these lasted me all semester welding 10 hours a week. You will feel the heat if your metal gets hot and I would not recommend handling hot metal in them. They will burn through really fast. I can feed filler wire easily and manipulate the TIG torch very comfortably in these. And at half the price of Miller for a very comparable glove, you can get two pair for what Miller charges for one pair.
I just ordered two more pairs. These are great, I used them in school and they have held up really well. They feel amazing right out of the package, super sensitive, I was even able to play a few hours of playstation 4 while wearing these gloves to break them in over the weekend before school. For 12 bucks I don't think you can beat these. I have used them for all my TIG classes and worked very well .
Yeah, there is a little white fluff on the inside the first few times you wear these- but overall, a cheap TIG glove with good dexterity.
Cuff is stiff, but that's fine- it serves the purpose. Glove is purposely thin for good feel when TIG welding, not recommended for Stick, MIG, Oxy, etc. - hence reviewed accordingly.
Nice gloves. Didnt leave that stupid white stuff everywhere that often happens with new gloves. I go through gloves alot because I tend to be careless and I have yet to get a hole in these. Fit well. Im a girl and normally have a hard time finding gloves that arent huge
I can't say enough good about these for the money. Sure, they're not as tough as the Tillman 24c that I used to use, but they're also almost $10 cheaper! Also, the feel and dexterity with these is much better. I do tend to grab these for work gloves, too, and they've taken the abuse. I've got a couple of holes in the leather from abuse, but no stitching failures. They're great for TIG work. Feeding the filler rod is easy with a light glove. I just won't TIG barehanded like some do.

Description
Caiman White Goatskin, Long Cuff, Welding-Tag/Mug Medium features resilient and durable goat grain leather. There is a 4 inch cuff that is long split leather. These gloves are completely unlined. The size is medium.
As soon as I received them, I inspected the gloves and found small holes where the stitching wasn't completely fused.
The gloves have a cheap feel to them. They feel thinner than the leather Tilghman gloves.
Pros:
- I really like the high cuff, as it protects my forearms from getting burned when welding.
- I have more dexterity to feel the steel rods when using GTAW.
- Price is good.
I am brand new to welding, so this is the first pair of gloves I have bought. I have not used them yet, so I can not comment on their usable life, I can only comment on the initial quality. I paid $12 for these, and for that price, the quality far exceeded my expectations. This is nice leather, with the white hand leather very soft and comfortable, and the brown cuff quite firm and protective. They seem very well made. I'm happy with them (again, prior to using them).
After a full semester of daily use, a 3-4 hours each day, they've held up fine. No seam breaking. Did have to saddle soap them to get to soften back up and stretch back out but that was my fault for continuously grabbing hot metal with them and drying/shrinking the leather.
I love these gloves but don't get them too hot or the leather will shrink significantly. This is probably true of any top grain leather, but it surprised me considering they're sold for welding. Regardless, I bought a second pair because they offer better thermal protection than split leather IMO.
works great for the price nice quality, I use these on my gun hand when miging and plasma cutting very flexible and great feel. Not heavy enough for close arc work.
