Tillman Welding Gloves - Tig Gloves Work Better With a Finger Heat Shield

Tillman Welding Gloves made out of kidskin for Tig Welding are some of the best feeling gloves you can find. They feel almost like bedroom slippers when you put them on and are made from very supple kidskin so that you can feel the welding rod and feed the rod with your fingers. That's really the litmus test for any tig welding glove isn't it? To be able to feel the wire or pick it up when you drop it. When you buy Tillman Tig Gloves or any other type of glove, you are usually trying to find a glove that is comfortable, but durable enough to last and to be somewhat heat resistant.

Tillman Tig Welding gloves have one drawback and its the same drawback as most other tig welding gloves that are thin and supple have... they are not very heat resistant. I have had my knuckles burned many times from resting my glove directly on the hot metal I was welding and if you are a tig welder, you know exactly what I am talking about.

The kind of material that could slide smoothly along the metal and actually help you weld better. What if there was a finger heat shield that let rest your glove on a hot aluminum casting? or a 4130 chromoly tubing cluster weld, or how about when you need to use a cutting torch and all you have are thin tig gloves?

If you have ever lost a part off of your muffler or had your kid's wagon break, and it is apparent no bolt will fix the problem, welding has probably come to mind. The system of joining two types of material by add certain types of filler material that in turn can form a mega strength bond is an awe inspiring process.

Safety should always be the first point of concern when beginning a welding project. Safety applications such as welding fire blankets and long sleeve welding gloves, may vary project to project. This depends on the type of welding to be accomplished and the environment where the welding will actually take place. For the welder, there are welding helmets and welding gloves that offer protection. For the area around where the welding will actually occur, there are welding blankets. Automotive, railway and shipbuilding industries protect finished areas of vehicles, ships, trains and track with welding blankets to lessen fire and burn danger. Fiber glass is usually the material of choice because of its flexibility properties and it resistance to heat at temperatures that are extremely hot.
