I was given an Incra one for Christmas a couple off years ago. Actually forgot about it till now. Will give it a try.

Hey Ed,
I think you'll find those gloves a bit heavy for TIG welding. Try out a pair of deer or sheepskin TIG gloves from McMaster Carr. They run about $20, but will definitely improve your TIG experience. You know you've been itching to buy something out of that new yellow book.

Those gloves are made for TIG, that's why the call them "TIGSTER" gloves.

Tom is correct those are bulky.
RE: Latest Delivery - TomG - 02-18-2016
Use those to take the trash out Ed (or for MIG). They are too bulky for TIG.

There is nothing wrong with those gloves for TIG welding , they are made for the job , made of kid skin
If they were available here in the UK I would purchase a pair Ed .

Tillman deerskin TIG gloves. Works the best for hanging onto a TIG FINGER. Just saying.
I've got several types of TIG gloves and have to say the deerskin are the softest, most comfortable, and give me the best dexterity of the lot. And it keeps a TIG FINGER in place instead of sliding off like the other skin gloves do.
I bought one of the Black Stallion welding jackets. Wished I hadn't now. I am not impressed.

The purpose of TIG gloves is not to protect you from heat, it's to protect you from UV. They have to be supple enough to manipulate the filler wire. On occasion, I've TIG'd in thick black nitrile gloves.
RE: Latest Delivery - TomG - 02-18-2016
That's why I like the generic deerskin gloves from McMaster. I've tried a lot of different brands and they are the lightest I've found. Not real durable in high heat, but you can't have everything.

Come'on now Al.... everybody knows that the REAL men of OCC tig weld with their bare hands!
Then again, they are the same guys that DO wear gloves using machinery, and then get their hand all wrapped up in the drill press...
