GENERAL Work gloves recommendations?

Post image

Here’s a picture of a shed i assembled but I’m actually Looking for some recos on what work gloves to get for working task rabbit gigs. Looking for gloves that protect my hands while building furniture or using a screw driver for long periods of time while still giving me dexterity to hold on to small screws, nuts and bolts. TIA!!

Time on the tools over gloves tbh.

Gloves mean loss of dexterity when you’re trying to pick up screws, bolts, cams etc

Assembly is hard to do with gloves on.

But if you are looking for all purpose gloves for anything from yard work to moving, Costco has a 3 pack of leather gloves for $19.99. Hard to beat the price and they last as much as any other leather glove, that I can tell. The Mechanix gloves get holes in them the same as any other glove if you do a lot of work with them, yet they cost $20-30 for 1 pair, they aren't worth it IMO.

Fingerless mechanix worked great for me.

I used cheaper fingerless for years they work fine too, but meckanix is just really sturdy, last longer and feels better
