Duluth DTPro Gloves??

[Arya Ebrahimi]

Anyone tried these? Supposed to be kevlar reinforced and not have seams in the fingertips(where all my mechanix gloves have blown out).

Tired of buying Mechanix gloves that only last a couple weeks in the shop. These are about the same price, but if they last longer/work better, I'm all for trying a set.

BTW, I would be using these for fabwork, i.e. bending/notching tube, making tabs/brackets, tack welding, etc. I use full leather welding gloves when I do final welding though.

Might be interested in some myself, you should buy a set and do a product review on them.

And on another note, I just bought these Dewalt gloves from Amazon.com, I'll be using them tonight to kill the kitty again.

Anybody have any results on these?

I use the tillman spandex/leather gloves available at praxair's. About a month to 1.5 month per pair with daily heavy use.
The deer and the moo cow leather. Deer is nicer but doesn't last as long in them. Im anal, and clean the gloves every few days of work, with soap and hot water and a nail brush, then use saddle soap on them to keep them supple. I can extend them to two months per set usually.

They make a good golf glove, but shred too easily for shop work. The pair I had came apart within 2 days.

I ordered a couple of pair last night via the 29th Sale and will let you know...

Gloves arrived and while they're good quality, they are not the same type of mechanic's glove as a Ringer or Mechanix. Much thicker material, more for yard work than mechanical. They will make good fab, plasma, and grinding gloves.

the tru fit gloves? im lucky if i don't go thru a pair of them a day if i am working in the shop. I don't even wear them the entire time im out there. The quality on the varys alot. one glove will have thick leather and the other will be paper thin...

I bought some Western Safety mechanics gloves from Harbor Freight. I paid $5.99 a pair for them and they are like the original Mechanix gloves. They seem to be holding up as well as the Mechanix gloves did. Here is the link to them, they are $3.49 a pair online.

The Tillman 1480's?

I've had good luck with them, they last much longer than mechanix and are half the cost ~$10-11. I did finally melt the back and wear through the finger tips after about 18 months of regular weekend use.

I'm curious about the DTpro gloves.

Most "mechanix" type gloves seem to be some type of sythentic that would melt easily.

I`ll have to give those a shot.

MECHANIX don't last long grinding. I guess they are only good for wrenching..

I use those for tig only. They really did not have enough of an insulating property to them to make them really good for mig or stick... moreso for stick.
